While the rapper was in prison, he began to communicate with a Hebrew priest who gave him lessons on Hebrew Scripture. Kahan means ‘priest’ in Hebrew, so the reason for the name changing is clear. The rapper also mentioned that he wanted a fresh start. Bill Kahan Kapri is the new Kodak Black full name, but it does not mean that he will stop using Kodak Black as his stage nickname.
