No matter how dire things get for Kodak Black at times, his loyal fans continue to root for his success. As blogs began reporting that the “Love & War” artist is in federal custody a few days ago, concern for his wellbeing is on the rise. Today (December 19), Yak was in a Miami federal court with his attorney, speaking with a judge about his alleged probation violation.
NBC Miami reports that the embattled entertainer, born Bill Kapri, had handcuffs on for the duration of the session, during which his legal team presented the possibility of a 90-day drug treatment program in Arizona. The attorneys said Black was facing addiction to Percocet and Oxycodone after a brutal Kentucky prison beatdown in 2020. Authorities aren’t on board with the idea, mostly because it’s “outside the jurisdiction and probation officers would have no control over what he’s doing.”
The judge in court deferred the final decision to a contemporary who’s overseeing Black’s case. While they wait for updates, the Broward County-born star is remaining in federal custody. Prior to this incident, he was doing incredibly well (considering his past criminal streak). As 2022 began, Kodak was arrested on trespassing charges in Pompano Beach. In 2020, Donald Trump used his last day in office to grant the 26-year-old a pardon approximately halfway through his three-year sentence for falsifying documents used to purchase weapons.
Spending Christmas isn’t the slammer isn’t an ideal situation for anyone, but especially not Kodak Black now that he’s got a pregnant fiancee at home waiting for him. After bonding out of jail earlier this month, the Florida native went Live on IG to address a few things, at which time he shared the exciting news with his followers. Read more about Yak’s growing family at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Kodak Black is back in federal custody for what is believed to be a probation violation. According to Complex, the rapper, born Bill Kahan Kapri, is housed at Miami FDC. NBC South Florida also thinks the arrest is for probation violation.
Kodak Black has been arrested for cocaine possession.
Two weeks ago, Kodak Black was arrested in Broward County, Florida, on alleged cocaine possession. With fan concern for the rapper already high, Black hit Instagram Live to provide details of the incident.
“I was on lean, asleep in front of my family house, that’s it,” Black said.
In the same Instagram Live, Black admitted to using methamphetamine and Percocets. In response to cocaine he said, “I ain’t no baser. I ain’t no junkie.”

Jackboy, known for his affiliation with Kodak Black, recently found himself at the center of false reports. Despite the alarming incident, the Florida rapper’s upbeat response on Instagram Live left fans relieved and questioning the motives behind the false news.
‘CRITICAL WHERE?’
After news broke that Jackboy had been rushed to the hospital for gunshot wounds, the rapper quickly took to social media to set the record straight, revealing that it was his younger brother who had been the victim of the shooting.
The incident occurred early on Dec. 13 on the 11000 block of SW Stockton Pl. in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Jackboy, wanting to clarify the misinformation circulating, took to his Instagram Livelater that day. He lifted his shirt, showing no visible wounds, and defiantly exclaimed:
While Jackboy’s brother was immediately airlifted to Lawnwood Hospital, his condition has been described as “serious.”
The suspect responsible for the shooting remains unidentified and managed to flee the scene in a getaway vehicle. It is unclear whether the false news of Jackboy’s shooting was intended to irritate potential retaliators or to create confusion among fans and the media.
Fans flooded the comments section with messages of condolences for his brother and relief that the rapper himself was unharmed.
Many expressed their happiness that Jackboy had not been the one targeted, with one user commenting, “GLAD YOU UNTOUCHED.” Another added, “Nugga ain’t get shot.”
On The Contrary
On the other hand, in 2021, Jackboy went ahead with plans to build a hospital in his home country of Haiti. He teamed up with Lil Baby and reportedly went half and half on building a hospital after discovering patients sleeping outside at an already existing hospital in Haiti.
Who Shot Ya?
The incident serves as a reminder of the gun violence plaguing the rap industry, with several recent cases involving siblings. It echoes the shocking shooting at a Lil Baby concert in Memphis in September 2023, where Young Dolph’s cousin, CEO Jizzle, was injured. Surprisingly, the shooter was identified as Jizzle’s brother.
Kodak Black has admitted to drinking lean after his recent arrest. In a candid statement made on Instagram Live, he acknowledged his use of the substance but denied the possession of cocaine.
‘I Was On The Lean Homie’
On Dec. 11 after a fan asked Kodak Black what happened the day of his latest arrest, which occurred on Dec. 7, the South Florida rapper admitted to drinking lean and being on other drugs on his Instagram Live.
“I was on the lean homie. I was on the lean. I was asleep in front of my family house bro and that’s it. I was sleep in front of my people’s house,” Kodak said.

However, the “Super Gremlin” rapper was quick to clarify that he does not consider himself a “junkie” or someone who indulges in hard drugs. In one of his statements, he vehemently declared:
“I Ain’t No Baser. I Ain’t No Junkie, B*tch.”
Following Kodak’s confession, users on Twitter (X) reacted to his claims of abstaining from hard drugs. One user named @worldex_ex commented “I’m not sure of this.” Another user named @pipsfinder commented “he can’t survive without drugs.”
Kodak’s Attorney Backs Him Up
The Kuthroat BillVol. 1 artist’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, spoke out about his client’s recent arrest, suggesting that it may have been a case of mistaken drug identification. According to Cohen’s statement to TMZ, he believes that the substance found during the arrest will likely be identified as Percocet, not cocaine.
“In this latest case, my belief is that the ‘rock’ this officer found when tested will be a Percocet, not cocaine,” Cohen said. “The arresting officer tested the powder on the scene and says it came back positive for cocaine … but Cohen says, “The test they do is a presumptive test for illegal substances. It just turns blue.”
Cohen further mentioned that Kodak has had a previous struggle with prescription painkillers, shedding light on the rapper’s history with these types of medications.

Kodak Black Caught Swallowing Cocaine During Recent Arrest
As new details emerge from his recent arrest, Kodak Black found himself in hot water. The Florida rapper was reportedly caught with a mouthful of cocaine.
New Details Emerge
The 26-year-old rapper was apprehended on Thursday, Dec. 7, when police discovered him sleeping inside his black 2019 Bentley SUV, blocking part of the road.
The arrest of Kodak took place as the officer noticed a strong smell of burnt weed coming from the rapper’s vehicle. Upon approaching the driver’s side, the officer found Kodak asleep with the window halfway down. Further inspection of the SUV revealed weed residue in the console and an alcoholic beverage in a Styrofoam cup.
But what shocked the arresting officer was his discovery of the “Super Gremlin” rapper swallowing a mouthful of cocaine. Asking Kodak if there were any illegal items in the vehicle, the officer received a response of “weed.”
Percocet Or Cocaine?
However, while the officer was running a check on Kodak’s driver’s license, he witnessed a white powder falling from the rapper and noticed that his mouth was full of the substance. Despite the rapper’s claims that it was Percocet, the powder was later confirmed to be cocaine.
The troubling incident not only led to charges of possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence but also triggered a probation violation related to a prior federal case. As of now, the “No Flockin” rapper remains in custody awaiting his court appearance for these serious charges.

Kodak Black Arrested On Cocaine Possession & Other Charges
Kodak Black has once again found himself in legal trouble. The South Florida rapper was recently arrested for cocaine possession and other charges.
Kodak Black Arrested
Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, is facing charges of possession of cocaine and tampering with physical evidence. This arrest adds to Kodak’s list of legal troubles and his recent saga of arrests, further fueling the controversies surrounding the artist.
On Dec. 7, the “Walk” rapper was arrested in Plantation, Florida, and was subsequently booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The specific details of his arrest have not been disclosed to the public at this time.
Kodak’s Past Legal Woes
However, this arrest marks another setback for the rapper, who has made headlines for his previous brushes with the law.
The recent arrest is not the first time that Kodak has faced legal issues. In July 2022, he was arrested in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on charges of possession of a controlled substance and trafficking oxycodone. His lawyer, Bradford Chen, had alleged that the arrest was a cover-up and sought a dismissal.
Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Kodak’s arrest, with many not being surprised. One user named @Cejezy commented, “Bro can’t go a whole year without getting in trouble,” and one other user named @Troyse1 joked by commenting, “Trump is not coming to save him this time,” referring to former United States president Donald Trump pardoned him in January 2020.
Is Kodak OK?
On October 24, during an interview with Drink Champs, the South Florida rapper was seen exhibiting signs of being under the influence. His speech was slurred, and he appeared unable to sit still. Fans took to social media to express their worries, questioning why the hosts, N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, decided to have Kodak on the show, given its promotion of alcohol and marijuana use.
‘Kodak Black Day’
On a more positive note, in November 2023, Kodak Black received an honor from Palm Beach County, Florida, as he was awarded his own “Kodak Black Day.” During the ceremony, he sported a blue jacket and hat featuring the slogan “Make America Great Again,” associated with former President Donald Trump.
YSL Mondo Faces Drug Charges
Another rapper who recently faced drug-related charges is YSL Mondo. In August 2023, he was arrested in Georgia on multiple drug and gun charges after a search was conducted at his residence.
Last week, Kodak Black was arrested in Broward County, Florida on alleged cocaine possession. With fan concern for the rapper already high, Black hit Instagram Live to provide details to the incident.
“I was on lean, asleep in front of my family house, that’s it,” Black said.
In the same Instagram Live, Black admitted to using methamphetamine and Percocets. In response to cocaine he said, “I ain’t no baser. I ain’t no junkie.”

Kodak Black was lucky enough to earn a pardon from President Donald Trump in 2018. However, that hasn’t been enough to stop the Back For Everything artist from landing in the slammer again. Yak’s most recent arrest came earlier this week, when police allege they caught him swallowing a bag of cocaine. According to the rapper, no bodycam footage shows evidence of that, and he maintains that he was using other substances at the time, but not those specifically stated in the police report.
On Instagram Live, Black addressed many of his fans’ questions about the situation, while also sharing some exciting news. “They said you need a wife, boy, I got one! Me and my fiancee are having a baby boy in two months,” the 26-year-old excitedly told viewers ahead of the holiday season. He’s already a father of three other children – one boy and two girls and seems eager to create generational wealth for all of them.
“That s**t [wild]. I’m like tryna get my quota too, b**ch. The f**k?” he added after, seemingly returning back to rumours of his drug use. Elsewhere during his first IG Live session since being arrested again, Kodak made it abundantly clear that he’s not here for being called a “junkie” by online critics. According to the Floridian, he was only on lean at the time of his arrest, asleep in front of his family home. No matter what police are saying, he totally denies having anything to do with cocaine.
“If that s**t was… I don’t think I’d even be able to speak to y’all right now. Wouldn’t even be on land right now,” the embattled star continued to rant, sounding kind of confused. “First off, a ni**a would’ve died, or been dead by now,” he said with a laugh. Read what else Kodak Black has been sharing with fans on social media lately at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Kodak Black has never claimed to be perfect, but the “Love & War” rapper’s erratic behaviour in recent years is beginning to cause serious concern among his fans. Just days after unleashing the experimental visuals for his “2’CY” track, Yak was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine. He’s obviously no stranger to trouble with the law, but when the police’s incident report revealed that he allegedly attempted to swallow a mouthful of cocaine, hip-hop heads couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows. Thankfully, Black has a skilled lawyer who helped him bond out and plead not guilty to the charges brought against him.
In his first Instagram Live stream since the news broke, the East Coast native addressed rumours circulating about him – particularly unflattering ones about being a “junkie.” He told viewers, “I was on the lean. I was asleep in front of my family house. That’s it. That ain’t illegal.” Still, Black knows he has to go through the motions of the legal process to prove his innocence. He didn’t have an explanation as to where the white power cops found on his person came from, but the 26-year-old was adamant that it’s not something he uses.
“To be talking about cocaine? Hell no. F**k no. Bogus as f**k,” Kodak said. Besides his lean use, the embattled star also spoke about his experience popping Percs. “That was my medicine prescribed to me,” he shared before discussing the $350K he spent on rehab to “get clean and get better” while he was “damn near abusing” the emotion-stifling pills.
After bonding out of jail a few days ago, one of the first tasks on Kodak Black’s to-do list was supporting Kanye West at his Vultures listening event in Miami. Others in attendance included Lil Baby, Freddie Gibbs, Chris Brown, and even Ye’s 10-year-old daughter, North.

JUST IN: Kodak Black has been arrested for cocaine possession.
Kodak, whose real name is Bill Kapri, has an extensive history of run-ins with law enforcement going back to his first brushes with fame in 2015. In 2016, he was charged with felony criminal sexual conduct stemming from an incident follow a concert in Florence, South Carolina. He pled guilty in 2021, receiving a sentence of probation.
In 2018, he was charged with child neglect, grand theft of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and marijuana possession after an Instagram Live feed showed him passing weed and a gun around a small child. While three of the charges were dropped, he was convicted of both possession charges and sentenced to a year in prison. He was released in August that year thanks to credit for time served.
In 2019, he was arrested at the US-Canada border by United States Customs and Border Protection for criminal possession of a weapon, released, then re-arrested in Miami ahead of his Rolling Loud performance on additional charges stemming from that arrest, including making a false statement on a governmental form for lying on his purchase documents for the guns confiscated at the border. He was sentenced to nearly four years in prison after pleading guilty; for the original charges, he also pled guilty, receiving a concurrent sentence between two and seven years.
However, in January 2021, as he was leaving office, Donald Trump communted Kodak’s sentence in a bid to curry favor with Black voters for his eventual 2024 election run. That seemingly hasn’t stopped Kodak from continuing to flout authority; in July 2022, he was arrested again for oxycodone trafficking, although his lawyer argued that the pills were prescribed to him.
