Crodie (noun, slang) – An extended form of Cro, originating from the Rexdale area of Toronto, used to refer to a close friend or brother-like figure. The term emerged in the early 2010s, gaining popularity among Toronto Crip sets like the Jamestown Crips and Mount Olive Crips. It signifies deep loyalty and brotherhood within local street culture. Crodie has since spread beyond the city, partly due to its use by Drake, one of the biggest artists of all time, in several songs, helping to present the word to a worldwide audience. The term was also referenced in the historic Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake battle of 2024, the biggest rap beef of all time, further cementing its place in hip-hop culture.
“My crodie held it down for me when things got rough.”
