Kodak Black recently opened up to fans about an unusual fear he’s harbored since childhood—his phobia of little people. The rapper revealed that his fear stems from watching the 1993 horror film Leprechaun at a young age, an experience that left a lasting impact on him.
In a video posted online, Kodak candidly admitted, "I've been scared of mdgets, bro! That's my fear, bro. Back then, you know, the leprechaun, that crazy Leprechaun movie, I'm scared of these shanties..."* His statement quickly sparked conversation among fans, with many reacting to his confession with a mix of amusement and curiosity.
For those unfamiliar, Leprechaun is a cult classic horror-comedy film directed by Mark Jones. The movie follows a sinister, gold-obsessed leprechaun, played by Warwick Davis, who wreaks havoc on anyone who comes between him and his treasure. Notably, the film also marked Jennifer Aniston’s first major movie role before she skyrocketed to fame with Friends.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Leprechaun was a commercial success, grossing $8.5 million domestically against a modest $900,000 budget. Its blend of horror and dark humor has since cemented its place in pop culture, spawning multiple sequels and becoming a go-to film for fans of ‘90s horror.
Kodak’s revelation adds him to the list of celebrities with unexpected phobias. While some fans found his fear amusing, others pointed out how childhood movies can have a lasting psychological effect. Whether or not Kodak plans to confront his fear remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—he won’t be watching Leprechaun anytime soon.
