Kodak Black’s Team Made Sure He Was Sober During Rolling Loud

by

Rolling Loud took place in California this weekend and Kodak Black delivered an excellent set. The rapper appeared on stage to deliver his biggest hit records without little issues. However, he almost beat a concertgoer with a belt for throwing water on him. But besides his brief issue with a fan, the entire set went down without a hitch. Yak breezed through hit records like “Super Gremlin” and more. Fans were happy, as was his team, as he crushed his performance ahead of his stint in rehab.

According to TMZ, Kodak Black’s team ensured his sobriety throughout the event. His attorney confirmed a number of personnel attended the festival and dedicated their time to keeping Kodak Black away from negative influences. A physician was around who observed Yak’s eating habits while another individual sat by the rapper throughout the entire day to make sure he didn’t touch any substances. Additionally, the rapper veered clear of the after-party, which is apparently quite normal for Yak.

Last week, a Florida judge ordered Kodak Black to enter 30 days of rehab after he tested positive for fentanyl. The rapper was expected to do two drug tests in February as part of his conditions related to a drug bust last summer, though he failedto appear for both. However, the fentanyl found in his system breached his conditions. Though the lawyer successfully argued that it was likely a mistake in the lab, the judge agreed to allow Yak to enter a 30-day rehab program after his performance at Rolling Loud.

Yak’s conditions stem from his arrest last July for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and drug trafficking. Police found over 30 pills of oxycodone in his car after he was pulled over in Florida. The rapper posted $75K bond while his attorney, Bradford Cohen, said that the arrest wasn’t exactly what it seemed. “There are facts and circumstances that give rise to a defense, especially in this case,” Cohen said.

Kodak Black Threatens Rolling Loud Crowd With His Belt After Someone Throws Water: Watch

by

Now that March is here, it feels as though spring is right around the corner. Along with the warmer weather comes a favourite time of year for many music lovers – festival season. Kicking things off earlier than most in 2023 is Rolling Loud California, headlined by Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and Future, as well as special guest Lil Wayne. As is customary for this specific festival, there’s been no shortage of hilarious viral moments and headlines resulting from performer’s and patron’s antics.

One story that’s been overshadowing the excitement surrounding Rolling Loud is Travis Scott’s alleged involvement with an assault in the days before his set. According to reports, the father of two plans to turn himself in to the NYPD after his performance tonight (March 4). The Astroworld rapper may be lucky enough to still take the stage, but another name on the lineup, Tory Lanez, wasn’t so lucky.

Despite still being billed on the festival’s official website, the Canadian remains behind bars for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Big Scarr, who passed away due to an overdose a few months ago, also remains on the poster. Aside from the inaccurate lineup, Friday was a strong start for festivalgoers, who watched acts like 2Rare, Tay Money, and Blueface perform. The evening’s biggest names were Tyga, DaBaby, Saweetie, and Soulja Boy, though the latter didn’t get as much love as he likely anticipated.

In videos circulating online, the “Pretty Boy Swag” hitmaker gives the crowd his all, pouring pure energy into old favourites and new arrivals. Unfortunately for him, many watching didn’t match up, instead looking rather bored while seemingly waiting for another performer to come out. Social media has been having a field day reacting to Soulja’s misfortune, but that’s not the only Rolling Loud moment that has their attention.

Kodak Goes Full Dad Mode

During his set last night, Florida native Kodak Black obviously didn’t take kindly to someone in the audience throwing a water bottle his way. Though he continues to rap and entertain after the plastic hits him, an assistant soon brings out the rapper’s belt to him, and he immediately threatens the crowd. “Now who threw that water at me?!” he asks, holding the potential weapon in the air.

After not getting a clear answer, Yak’s DJ turns the music off so he can more clearly address his potential assailants. “Who threw that water at me?” he asks again before the camera catches him smiling and laughing. Check it out in the video above, and let us know which Rolling Loud California set you’re most excited to see in the comments.

Kodak Black Remembers XXXTentacion In New Post

by

Kodak Black and XXXTentacion were both rising stars in the rap world around the time of XXX’s untimely death in June 2018. The two Floridian rhymers shared a relationship characterized by both collaboration and conflict—at one point they were even locked up in the same jail together. Their joint single “Roll In Peace” helped catapult them into the spotlight in spite of their once-looming legal battles. After XXXTentacion’s passing, Kodak continued to show respect to the artist’s legacy with mentions of him on Dying To Live’s “Malcolm X.X.X.” and a tribute song entitled “Falling Over” in 2021.

The self-proclaimed Project Baby took to Instagram today to show more love to the fallen star. Emotions flow through the post as Kodak Black calls his late friend a Broward County legend. “One Of The Best Things To Ever Happen To This Small Town [sad face emoji],” he writes about XXXTentacion. In the following slide, Kodak introduces new artist Bryant Barnes, who he says reminds him of his friend Jahseh. The guitar-playing crooner has over 40 million TikTok views on his emo-etched performances. Upon further listening, it’s more than clear why the “Maui Woop“ rapper compares the instrumental pair.

Kodak Black Shares Photo of Fallen Star

Three years to the day, Kodak Black remembered XXXTentacion’s passing by sharing their last conversation with fans. In 2019, released audio of XXX begging him to “please be cautious.” X adds, “It be the animal in us that drives us to do the things that bear us consequences.” The rappers go on to note the lack of love they receive from others versus what they put out. “’Cause we the ones with all the love. We are the ones with the love fam,” says XXX. “When you start giving n***as money, that’s when they f**k up the relationship and I noticed that.”

The trial for XXTentacion’s murder is still underway well into 2023. It finally began in January, with defense attorneys accusing Drake of being involved. A judge later dismissed the claim, confirming the Canadian superstar does not have to sit in for a deposition late last month. Prior to the failed attempt at a celebrity court sighting, Kodak Black was cited for his alleged involvement, according to murder suspect Dedrick Williams. Attorneys for the young man stated he interacted with Kodak during his Broward County jail stint for prescription pills. They believe the “vital” footage will prove their client’s innocence, to which Kodak Black has yet to respond.

Kodak Black Will Reportedly Have To Enter A Drug Rehab Facility After Testing Positive For Fentanyl

Kodak Black is reportedly set to enter a drug rehabilitation facility in Broward County, according to Rolling Stone. The order comes from Judge Barbara Duffy, who apparently made the ruling this past Tuesday (February 28) after Kodak allegedly tested positive for fentanyl in a drug test. According to the report, the test results were revealed as Kodak was awaiting trial for charges relating to drug trafficking.

Duffy’s order holds that Kodak is allowed to remain free until March 7, which is when he is set to perform at Rolling Loud Los Angeles.

The “Super Gremlin” hitmaker’s first arrest for drug trafficking charges dates back to July 2022, when he was arrested in relation to his drug trafficking charges during a traffic stop in Fort Lauderdale. 31 oxycodone pills were found in his vehicle, along with nearly $75,000 in cash.

He was later released on a $75,000 bond and charged with a felony one charge of trafficking oxycodone, along with a lesser charge of possession of a controlled substance. At the time, Kodak pleaded not guilty to the drug trafficking charge.

According to the Associated Press, Duffy was heard telling Kodak “You better get it together” during his court appearance this week.

Kodak Black is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Last week, a warrant for Kodak Black’s arrest was issued by a Broward County Circuit Court Judge after the South Florida slang spitter failed a drug test earlier this month. Today(February 28), Black aka Bill Kapri, turned himself in with his lawyer Bradford Cohen, who disputed claims that Black failed the test, alleging that the test was mixed up with other urine samples.

In response, Broward Co. Judge Barbara Duffy ordered that the 25-year-old rapper report to drug rehab for 30 days, but his time in rehab will not begoin until after his performance at Rolling Stone California this upcoming weekend.

Black was originally placed on probation following his compassionate release by President Trump at the top of 2021 after being sentenced to almost four years in federal prison for illegal weapons possession in 2019.

Kodak Black Will Enter Drug Treatment Program Following Arrest Warrant

by

Kodak Black’s legal matters continue to weigh on him. Though he managed to get out of prison in 2021, he continues to deal with a plethora of issues. The rapper’s undoubtedly made some changes in his life, including enrolling in college. However, a judge signed off on an arrest warrant for him last week. The warrant went through the Broward County court, which stated that the rapper should be brought into custody immediately if any sheriff’s deputies encounter him due to a failed drug test. 

The warrant against the rapper stemmed from violating his bail conditions from his oxycodone trafficking case, specifically mandatory drug tests. In a matter of weeks, the agency he was supposed to report to stated that he failed to uphold his end of the bargain. On Feb. 3rd, Kodak Black didn’t report for a mandatory drug test and didn’t submit a sample. A week later on Feb 8th, they said that his sample came back dirty. They claimed they found traces of fentanyl in his tests. Shortly after, footage emerged of the rapper’s arrest. 

Judge Approves Kodak Black’s Drug Treatment

Things worked out for Kodak Black during his appearance in court on Tuesday morning. His attorney argued that a mix-up with Yak’s urine sample likely played a role in the test results. An employee for the lab that obtained the sample admitted there’s a possibility that an error occurred. From there, the judge and prosecution agreed to a hair sample instead to determine whether there were any drugs in Kodak’s system. However, the judge explicitly stated that the employee who took the urine sample shouldn’t conduct the hair sample. 

Ultimately, the judge ruled in favor of Kodak Black’s defense team who requested that he should enter a 30-day drug treatment program. Even more, the judge stated that Kodak could begin the program next week after he performs at Rolling Loud California. Yak, who came to court in a pink and yellow suit, thanked the judge before asking if he could have a Jolly Rancher from the bowl on the bench, which the judge approved. Check the clip above.
