Rapper Kodak Black gives ACs to the poor. Government: Nope!

FEE's Hannah Cox writes, "American rapper Kodak Black spent the Fourth of July holiday at the Golden Acres Housing Project in Pompano Beach, Florida. He purchased 100 air conditioners worth a total of $12,500 and hand-delivered them to residents there.

Kodak shared a video of the event on social media where he said, 'We out here passing out AC units, helping install them….We do it for the projects, we do it for the projects. The people relying on just enough cash to survive. We’ll get you all ACs man, we out here.'

The singer went on to note that he grew up poor in a similar area and loves to give back. 'It's hot right now. The heat will bring a little frustration. Sometimes that cause people to act out. I remember when I had to take from people,' the 24-year-old said. 'So, now that I'm blessed enough to give back, that's what I like to do. We out here passing out A/C units, helping install them and all that right now.'

But as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished, and Kodak’s actions quickly came under fire. The Housing Authority of Pompano Beach sent the performing artist a cease and desist letter claiming his presence in the community caused a 'disturbance...'

According to TMZ, “a representative for the Pompano Beach Housing Authority said that while Kodak’s donation was ‘an extremely generous and admirable gesture,’ there were concerns about AC installations being done properly to meet safety guidelines...”

While many Americans might find this story outrageous (as they should), it’s really nothing new. The government frequently blocks charitable donations in a multitude of industries and ways."
