Kodak Black has been arrested in South Florida, NBC Miami reports. The charges include cocaine possession, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and improperly parking or stopping a vehicle. Black, né Bill Kapri, was booked into the Broward County jail Thursday (Dec. 7), and the arrest reportedly happened in Plantation.
This doesn’t mark the first time the 26-year-old rapper was arrested, as he was also pulled over back in July 2022 in Fort Lauderdale after Florida Highway Patrol troopers spotted his expired tags. Authorities found 31 oxycodone tablets and $74,960 in cash in the vehicle.
Earlier this year, he failed to submit to a random drug and alcohol test in February and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He took the test on Feb. 8 and traces of Fentanyl were revealed. As a result, his release was revoked, and a Broward judge allowed him to attend a 30-day drug treatment program.
In related news, the “No Flockin’” rhymer raised concerns after his recent appearance on Drink Champs. The Oct. 28 episode showed Kodak in a questionable state, which caught the attention of several celebrities, including Ray J. The 42-year-old singer claimed that Kodak needs help and that he “did the most” when meeting Donald Trump.
“Yo somebody need to grab bro and make sure he good,” Ray J said at the time. “This ain’t the interview N.O.R.E. We gotta help this dude. I took him to Trump house and he did the most. They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect. Yo @wack100 let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct.”
Kodak’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, then expressed how he thought many people were showing fake concern for his client. “Kodak Black has all these positive things going on since we procured him the pardon from President Trump. Clothing lines and new collabs. Charitable actions (mostly anonymous), scholarship awards, and more. People that feign concern yet reach out on social media are not people that are genuine. Just to clear some things up,” he typed on Instagram.
