Kodak Black – Lil Birdie

The conversation around Drake’s “Little Birdie” takes an interesting turn as Kodak Black delivers his own version with “Lil Birdie,” officially released on September 30, 2026.

The Florida rapper takes on the same instrumental and flow associated with Drake’s track from the ICEMAN project, turning the online discussion surrounding the song into an official release.

Fans and critics had previously pointed out similarities between Drake’s vocal melodies, cadence, and delivery on “Little Birdie” and Kodak Black’s established style.

Kodak leans into that comparison from the opening, addressing the conversation directly before settling into his own performance over the familiar production. The release also arrives with a self-directed music video, giving “Lil Birdie” a visual counterpart alongside the audio.

Rather than simply revisiting the original, Kodak Black uses the track to respond to the attention surrounding Drake’s version while putting his own stamp on the sound. The result is a notable addition to his 2026 catalogue and another talking point for listeners following the connection between both artists.
