"Look at me, hey! I don't stay in the projects anymore."

Kodak Black spent the majority of the year behind bars after he was sentenced to seven months in his gun and weed case. Since his release, he hasn't done much press and he's been slowly increasing the amount of activity on his social media pages. However, what we didn't know is that Kodak Black is no longer a project baby like his recent studio albums suggested, but instead, a suburban kid.

In the latest bizarre yet hilarious Kodak Black videos to hit the Internet, Kodak Black revealed that he is no longer a project baby. The rapper was spotted with his gut hanging out and his chains dangling with a pair of glasses on as he imitated what someone from the suburbs would sound like.

"Look at me, heey! I don't stay in the projects anymore. I'm not a project baby anymore, I'm a suburb kid. I'm a suburban," he said before breaking character. "I'm a suburban dude."

This is the second strange Instagram video of Kodak Black to emerge this week. A few days a go, the rapper went on Instagram Live to reveal that he stunts with "fake money."

"These hoes be asking me for money," he said. "I say, 'man, I don't even got no money. That money you be seeing me with on Instagrams, that be fake money, man. That be prop money. This is not my money, bruh. I do not have nothing.' Ha!"

Aside from his IG antics, Kodak Black has been hard at work ever since his release from prison. Keep your eyes peeled for more music from the "suburban kid."
