Kodak Black got the much-craved Drake stimulus package early in his career.

And Drizzy has stuck with his young friend ever since.

In a recent discussion with fans, Yak explained how Drake pays him to be his favorite rapper.  And pays him quite handsomely. [Jump to nine minutes.]

“That boy Aubrey. That’s my dog,” Kodak said of Drake. “Drake sent me like about 600 bands in Bitcoin. Drake dropped that shit on me. He said I’m his favorite rapper. I love that n*gga.”

Being Drake's friend is a good job if you can get it.
