Kodak Black made it out the trenches
and into the mainstream,
but he allegedly still has heavy ties to the streets
and he’s still surrounded by death and violence.
And just a couple of weeks ago,
an artist who was allegedly signed to him
was shot and set on fire.
This is the wild and brutal story of 26CeeJay
On March 28th at around 6:30 a.m.
someone called 911 and reported a vehicle
that was set on fire in the 200 block of Northwest 32nd Court.
Footage from the scene shows an SUV
burning to the ground while people came out of their houses
to check out what was going on.
A dude who lives in the area
told the local news channel that he heard an explosion,
and then looked outside his window and saw the SUV
completely engulfed in flames.
Seeing a vehicle blow up and burn down in your neighborhood is wild,
but what came next was way more shocking.
After the firefighters pulled up and put out the fire,
the police discovered that the SUV
wasn’t the only thing that had burned.
In the back seat of the whip
they found a body that was burnt so bad
they couldn’t even tell if it was a man or a woman.
A gas can was laying next to the burning whip,
and the cops immediately knew that they weren’t dealing with an accident.
Not long after, news broke
that the body inside the car was a local rapper named 26Ceejay.
Ceejay hadn’t popped off in the mainstream yet,
but he had been active in the game since 2020
and dropped his debut mixtape King Kobra last year -
which was on its way to hitting 100K streams on YouTube.
According to rumors,
CeeJay signed a deal with Kodak Black a few months ago
and was looking like the next rapper from Pompano Beach to take off.
But then out of nowhere,
Ceejay hopped on IG
and took shots at Yak and other people.
Ceejay said
he had been real quiet about certain situations
because he wanted to keep it gangster,
but everyone else was playing too many internet games
and not respecting the streets anymore.
He said that he was about to drop an interview and expose everybody involved,
and after that he was gonna do nothing but send disrespect
in his music and on social media.
In another post
it looked like he was squashing the rumors about signing to Yak.
Ceejay said he wasn’t tied to anyone
and that nobody else does more spinning than him.
Then he ended it with a threat and said
he’s coming for anyone that speaks on his name.
He didn’t call Kodak out directly in any of the posts,
but everyone connected the message to Yak
because of Ceejay’s next post during the rant.
He said that if you ever got shot
and didn’t get back on whoever popped you
then he can’t even beef with you because you're not qualified.
People linked that last post to Kodak
because he was shot in the leg last year after a party hosted by Justin Bieber.
Kodak clapped back on Live and said
he didn’t even feel the shot.
The last thing Ceejay said was that people will do anything to save themselves.
He tagged Kodak’s artist Syko Bob
and said “First @sykobob_1st now me.
U still want him.. Or what? ..
let’s not get to messy.”
Back in 2021,
Syko and his homies got caught up in a drive-by in the middle of the day.
They were rolling down the block when a BMW pulled up and started shooting.
Syko and his homies tried to speed off,
but they ended up crashing into some other cars and stopped in the middle of the street.
The BMW chased them down and kept shooting,
and that’s when someone in Syko’s whip started shooting back.
The dudes in the BMW tried to smash off when bullets started coming back at them,
but the BMW ended up crashing too
and by the time the cops hit the scene
everyone involved had taken off on foot.
It’s not clear if Ceejay was referencing the shooting,
or what happened next to Syko:
Last January,
the news broke that Syko was booked
on gun, drugs, and DUI charges
after the cops pulled him over and found 20 grams of weed
and a loaded pistol in the whip.
He ended up pleading guilty to gun possession in December,
and then last week he got hit with a five year sentence over it.
At this point nobody knows what Ceejay was trying to say
about Syko’s situation.
Some people think he was accusing Kodak
of trying to take him out with the drive-by,
but others say Syko got thrown under the bus
on the gun charge and went down for something he shouldn’t have -
but there’s no evidence to back any of the rumors up.
It’s not clear who took Ceejay out or why they wanted him gone.
But he’s not the only local rapper affiliated with Yak
who’s been brutally murdered.
In September 2021,
another Kodak Black artist named WizDaWizard’s body
was found dumped in front of a house in Hallandale Beach
around six in the morning.
His death was really strange and the police still aren’t sure what happened.
They believe Wiz was murdered,
but they don’t know if he was killed at the house
or if someone just dropped his body there after they murdered him.
After the news broke,
Kodak gave a speech and told everyone
he had just lost a friend, a very close friend for like,
we'd been friends for over like ten years.
You know it’s crazy,
dealin’ with-
losin’ loved ones and stuff like that, it’s hard.
I’ve been dealing with losses my whole life.
He also went on Live and said that Wiz opened the doors for a lot of people
like Ceejay and other local rappers.
Kodak was showing a lot of love to Wiz,
but according to rumors
they were actually beefing when he died.
Wiz and his cousin WamSpinthaBen
both allegedly rep Double M gang
and allegedly had major issues with Yak over money and some personal beef -
then Kodak took a shot at both of them
on the track Back For Everything with the line
“Yeah, double M gang, but I ain’t talkin’ Rick Ross
double M gang, I took that shit from Wiz
Rest in peace my n****, but it’s his fault
The way you let them kill you like a jit
Talkin’ to Wam, you sayin’ the same, did you like a lame
You ain’t give a damn, there up in chains
and I was already in pain.”
Some fans think Yak referenced Wiz’s death again
and took responsibility for it on the track Silent Hill
with Kendrick Lamar.
On the track he said
“I’m the type to get my shooter whacked.”
There’s no evidence that Kodak was talking about Wiz
or that Wiz was ever his shooter,
but the line could actually be referring to Ceejay.
Ceejay and Wiz were homies,
and after Wiz died
Ceejay even released a collab track they had together -
but according to rumors,
Ceejay was paid to take his own homie out.
While none of this has been backed up with concrete evidence,
there are a few stories about what some people really think
went down between all of them.
According to rumors,
the issues with Wiz and Kodak
were deeper than anyone on the outside realized
and a lot of people wanted him gone.
Whether it was Yak himself,
or just someone in the trenches trying to make a name for themselves -
rumors say that Ceejay was given a bag to snake his own friend.
People who think Yak paid Ceejay to kill Wiz
say that the IG rant Ceejay went on makes even more sense
if the story is true.
If Ceejay really was Kodak’s shooter,
then he definitely could have exposed him if he wanted to.
Even if Kodak isn’t involved with the situation,
there are a lot of things that make it seem like
Ceejay really did kill his homie.
After the news about Ceejay’s death broke,
his opps immediately hopped on social media to clown him.
But instead of just dissing Ceejay,
they were also posting pics of Wiz and saying “Long live @wizdawizard_”
What makes the situation even more confusing though
is that last year Ceejay answered a question on IG
about whether he messed with Yak or not,
and Ceejay said
“Yes & Kodak & Wiz really loved each other
they was just to f*****' stubborn to tell y’all.”
This isn’t the first time Kodak has had major issues with his own homies.
Last year he started beefing with his childhood friend Jackboy.
Instead of settling their issues behind closed doors
they started sending shots back and forth on social media,
then Kodak threw $100K into the ocean
just to show Jackboy how much more money he had than him.
According to rumors, Yak stole $500K from Jackboy
and was charging him 30 racks for each feature -
and the situation ended with Jackboy splitting off and starting his own label.
Jackboy and Kodak had been tight since they were kids,
but Yak made it clear that he’s willing to beef with anyone
if he thinks they crossed him.
Right now, nobody knows
what’s really going on with the rap scene in Florida.
A lot of these dudes have ties to each other that go way back,
and there’s no telling who actually killed Ceejay.
Shooting an opp is one thing,
but it seems like whoever’s behind the hit
wanted to send a message to everyone in the city.
And if the rumors about Ceejay being set on fire are true,
then whoever did it
obviously had some real beef with him that was personal.
It’s way too early to even guess why he was taken out like that,
but tap in for updates because this is probably only the beginning
of something even crazier.
Rest in peace to 26Ceejay
and everyone else who lost their lives.
