American rapper Kodak Black has set the record straight amid swirling rumors about his religious beliefs.

The 27-year-old artist sparked speculation after a photo of him squatting on what appeared to be a prayer mat went viral online. Many fans assumed the image signified his conversion to Islam.

With respect to the Muslim community, the rapper stated, “No disrespect to the Muslim community, but I am a Hebrew Israelite.”
