It is always cool when talents from different countries bring their respective approaches to a track. Almost always, it leads to bangers, or something new and refreshing. Today it is the first of those two outcomes. The artists that have joined forces this time around are British rap duo D-Block Europe and Florida’s Kodak Black.
The name of the track is “Still Play Valorant” and this is not a single. Rather, it is closer to the collective’s most recent full-length project, Rolling Stone. With all of the major releases this past weekend, it took some time to get to it. However, we are glad we are able to share it. One of the best parts of this cut is the production hands down.
Listen To “Still Play Valorant” By D-Block Europe And Kodak Black
It is wavy, spacey, and pure melodic trap goodness. If you are into auto-tune you are going to dig this. While it might be a bit of a loose comparison, it shares some similarities to A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s 2017 song “Beast Mode” from The Bigger Artist. The whisky, ghostly, and woodwind-like elements add an ethereal vibe to the violent track. D-Block Europe makes a witty reference to the first-person shooting game, Valorant to show their aggressive nature. “Got sticks at home and I still play VALORANT.” Check it out for yourself above.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Still Play Valorant,” by D-Block Europe and Kodak Black? Who had the best performance out of the three? Who is going to have the biggest year in 2024 and why? Where do you rank Black’s guest verse amongst the rest of his features?

Quotable Lyrics:
Eight car garage, Rolls seats come with massage She wanna have a ménage Stick to my rules, this won’t be hard She don’t understand what’s happenin’ Yeah, I’m rich and I’m arrogant Three Ms on the crib
When the film’s director and soundtrack executive producer, Jeymes Samuel, teased that the world wasn’t ready for what was up his sleeve, it wasn’t an exaggeration. Following months of fighting off claims that she’s a Satanist, The Book Of Clarence’s official soundtrack gave Doja Cat the divine platform to part her sea of haters for good. If there was ever any lingering doubt that Doja Cat isn’t a “real rapper,” it should be put to bed thanks to her verse on “Jeezu.”
Doja Cat lyrically rains holy hell down on her naysayers. “Pass the Kirkland, I see she thirstin’, see me, and they nerd out / I been doin’ God’s work, haters got the word out / Y’all got an agenda, but we’ll see how that gon’ turn out / Many false prophets leavin’ brothers with a firm doubt / Father, please forgive me, for today, they finna learn now / Put me in the dirt, and you gon’ see, I make it worthwhile,” raps Doja.
Yes, she’s a force in the pop space, but she made it clear that she’s no rap slouch. In his verse, Kodak Black used it as a confessional to address his troubled past with Adekunle Gold there to finish out the holy trinity.
Listen to Jeymes Samuel, Doja Cat, &Kodak Black’s new track “Jeezu” featuring Adekunle Gold above.

Kodak Black finds himself in legal trouble again as he prepares for a mandatory arraignment and bond status hearing related to his arrest in December 2023.
More Legal Woes For Yak
Kodak Black faces a mandatory arraignment and bond status hearing about his arrest in Plantation, Florida, in December 2023. According to the Broward Clerk, Judge Barbara Duffywill preside over the case.
A capias order, which commands law enforcement officers to arrest Kodak Black if seen, was filed by Judge Duffy on Wednesday, Jan. 10.
What’s A Capias Order?
A capias order is typically issued by a judge when a person fails to comply with a court order. In Kodak Black’s case, it was issued due to his pending charges in Broward County Court, where the rapper is known to have two possession cases pending in Fort Lauderdale.
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has filed a notice with the Broward Clerk for a ‘Motion To Suppress’ hearing scheduled for Feb. 23.

Kodak Black’s Attorney Exposes Lab Report: No Cocaine
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has made shocking allegations after a lab report revealed that the white substance found during the rapper’s December 2023 arrest was not cocaine but oxycodone.
Not Cocaine?
On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Bradford Cohen, the attorney for Kodak Black, posted on Instagram, revealing that the lab report related to the South Florida rapper’s Dec. 2023 arrest in Plantation, Florida, did not indicate a positive test for cocaine.
Instead, it showed the presence of oxycodone. In the Instagram caption, Cohen expressed:
“As stated when this new case first was filed. This was not cocaine and the officer was lying about his observations. We finally got the lab report…its oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance. Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State Atty Office still filed the charged. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officer is disgusting. We will be seeking a new bond hearing and addressing these unethical practices by the police department.”
According to the report, the substance discovered during the “Walk” rapper’s arrest was identified as oxycodone, a drug for which Black had a valid prescription. This contradicts the initial claims made by Officer A. Stern, who alleged that he found Black in his mouth full of white powder, which he believed to be cocaine.
Kodak Black’s legal troubles date back to his December 7, 2023 arrest when he was caught passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation, Florida. In addition to the cocaine possession charge, the rapper faced other offenses at the time.
However, with this new evidence, the validity of the original allegations is being called into question.
As the case unfolds, Kodak Black is currently in federal custody at FDC. He is scheduled for a final hearing on Jan. 22 in the Miami division of Federal Court.

Kodak Black’s Lawyers Request Judge to Enroll Him In Drug Treatment Program
Kodak Black recently found himself in federal court in Miami facing probation violation allegations. During the proceedings, the South Florida rapper’s attorneys sought permission for him to enroll in a drug treatment program.
Kodak’s Defense Team Requests Treatment
Kodak Black recently made an appearance in a federal court in Miami on Tuesday, Dec. 19. During his court hearing, his attorneys requested that the judge grant permission for the rapper to attend a 90-day drug treatment program in Arizona.
The defense team argued that Black became dependent on Percocet and Oxycodone after being assaulted in a Kentucky prison in 2020. However, authorities opposed the reasoning, arguing that the proposed program fell outside their jurisdiction and raised concerns about the lack of control probation officers would have over Black’s actions.
Judge Defers Decision
The judge decided to defer the decision on the treatment program to the judge overseeing the rapper’s case. Despite the request for enrollment in a drug treatment program, Kodak Black will continue to remain in federal custody.
He was taken into custody for allegedly violating probation. The arrest came about after authorities found him passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation on December 7, charged with cocaine possession and other offenses. According to the arrest report, the responding officer discovered Black’s mouth full of white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine.
Following his release from a Broward jail, Kodak Black was apprehended by federal authorities due to the probation violation.

Kodak Black Comes Clean About Lean Use
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.
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has made shocking allegations after a lab report revealed that the white substance found during the rapper’s December 2023 arrest was not cocaine but oxycodone.

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.
No matter how discouraging Kodak Black’s situation looks from the outside, Bradford Cohen remains dedicated to bringing the Back For Everything artist home. As his client remains behind bars, the famous attorney is speaking out on his behalf. He claims that the substance on Yak’s person during his latest arrest wasn’t cocaine, as authorities claim. Rather, it was allegedly Oxycodone, which he has a prescription for after enduring beatdowns during past stints in prison.
Unfortunately for the Southern entertainer, Cohen’s request for a drug treatment program was denied. The presiding judge is calling him a “danger to the community.” Nevertheless, Black’s legal team continues in their fight for his freedom. They lit up social media with an update on Tuesday (January 9) morning. “As stated when this new case first was filed, this was not cocaine and the officer was lying about his observations,” the 26-year-old’s lawyer wrote in his latest Instagram caption.
“We finally got the lab report,” Cohen continued. “It’s Oxycodone that Kodak had a prescription for and not an illegal substance. Knowing that the officer substantially misrepresented his observations, the Broward State [Attorney] Office still filed the [charges]. Unbelievable and it will not be tolerated. This level of abuse of power by the arresting officers is disgusting.” For now, the plan of action is to “seek a new bond hearing and address these unethical practices by the police department.”
Unfortunately for Kodak Black, 2024 isn’t off to an optimistic start. After announcing on IG Live that he’s got another baby on the way, rumour has it that the Florida native might be behind bars even longer than expected. If all goes the prosecutor’s way, Yak will have to serve the sentence that was formerly pardoned by Donald Trump in 2020. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

The world of Hip Hop is no stranger to rap beefs. The industry has turned friends into foes, and vice versa. Kodak Black and Jackboy were supposed to rule the rap scene together. After a turbulent come-up, the pair soon began to make waves, showing love to one another constantly. However, their friendship turned sour around 2020 and has yet to be salvaged since then. Since then, Kodak Black and Jackboy have taken shots at each other constantly. From their shared ambitions to one of contemporary Hip Hop’s ongoing beefs, let’s explore the timeline of their friendship.
Kodak Black, born Bill Kahan Kapri, and Jackboy, born Pierre Delince, began their journey together in the rough neighborhoods of Pompano Beach, Florida. The two friends met at Golden Acres, a notorious public housing project in Pompano Beach. Kodak Black and Jackboy bonded over their similarities. These include both of them being children of Haitian immigrants, to being just a few months apart in age. The friendship between the two also transcended the ordinary, with shared dreams of making it big and getting out of poverty. As a result, both Jackboy and Kodak Black were inseparable.
Beyond their shared aspirations, Kodak and Jackboy were involved in crimes and often entangled in legal trouble. From breaking into homes to credit card fraud, Jackboy was arrested several times. He was also in juvie for four years, and then in prison for another four. This was due to his involvement in various crimes, including armed robbery and aggravated battery. Throughout all this, the only one who advocated for his release and stayed by his side was his best friend Kodak Black.
2016: Jackboy And Kodak Black On The Rise Together
While Jackboy was serving time, Kodak Black made a name for himself in the rap industry. In 2016, he formed the collective known as Sniper Gang, a reflection of shared experiences and determination to rise above challenging pasts. Soon enough, Kodak’s career took off, and he was featured in XXL Magazine’s 2016 Freshman class roster. Jackboy also began to gain momentum after freestyling over Bobby Schmurda’s “Hot N***a.”
In December 2016, Jackboy released his first mixtape Stick Up Kid, which featured Kodak Black and PnB Rock. In an interview with Miami New Times, Jackboy stated hadn’t taken rap seriously until he was arrested again. This was a result of his realization that rap could save him. He and Kodak continued to collaborate on various projects, and their supportive bond was evident in interviews and social media. Collaborations on tracks like “G To The A” and “Lingo” showcased a chemistry that extended beyond the recording booth
2020: An Unexpected Beef
In 2020, Kodak Black was arrested for firearms possession and was sentenced to 46 months in prison. While in prison, the ongoing beef between the rapper and his old collaborator NBA YoungBoy intensified. Kodak took shots at YoungBoy and accused him of collaborating with law enforcement. This was mostly regarding the reported stabbing incident involving Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather.
At the time, Jackboy had been the one holding down the Sniper Gang fort. Moreover, his music had started to gain traction. Out of loyalty to his friend, the rapper joined the feud and addressed YoungBoy in an Instagram Live. Kodak Black was eventually pardoned by President Trump and released. Following his release, many expected a wild reunion for Sniper Gang. However, that was not the case. Instead, Kodak blamed Jackboy for the beef.
By mid-2021, the relationship between Kodak Black and Jackboy began to show serious signs of strain. Public disagreements and cryptic social media posts hinted at underlying tensions. Fans speculated that business disputes and personal differences led to their rift. Nonetheless, in a surprising turn of events, the friendship between the two reached a breaking point. Social media then became the battleground for their differences, with both artists airing their grievances in public.
Kodak went off in a series of now-deleted tweets, saying: “I Ain’t Signing Rappers No More. These N**gas Ungrateful,” “Made A ‘M’ Off Lil Jack!!! Thanks Lil’ Bra,” and “Took Long Enough But Dat Businezz Must B Stood On.”
Jackboy responded by sharing the lyrics of the song “Vouch” by Kevin Gates: “They copyrighted my name and wanted one million dollars. The label laughed in my face, I had to pay out my pocket.” Soon after, Kodak Black unfollowed Jackboy on Instagram. This left fans bewildered, witnessing the demise of a once-unbreakable bond. Jackboy then addressed the situation via Instagram Live.
That’s my brother at the end of the day. Hey, see your number, unblock me off Instagram, see your number, and I can holla at you. All that other sh*t? Everybody know like, as far as ‘day ones,’ Jackboy’s a real a&s n***a. So, I’m not gonna go in detail or explain shit to nobody. I don’t care. This shit don’t mean that much to me. I made millions off this shit! I already won. I bought my mom a house. I won. I bought my mom a car, paid off, I won. All my cars, I got three cars, paid off. I won. Like, I’m not gonna come on here and talk bad about my brother.
Sept. 2021: A Glimmer Of Hope
Following the death of WizDaWizard, Kodak Black sent a peace offering to Jackboy. The rapper tweeted: “F*cked Up Feeling When You Can’t Even Explain How You Feel & Even When You Do Or Try To You Get Judged By Your Feelings. Then, Funerals Turn To Photoshoots You Can’t Even Grieve In Peace. Let’s Use This As a Wakeup Call @Jackboy. Shit Get Real Krazy Real Kwik Out Here, Unexpectedly! & Fuck This Distance Love N***a Come Give Me a Hug N***a.” At this point, the internet believed that the two artists had put their differences aside. However, the intended reconciliation wasn’t the case.
March 2022: Kodak Black Speaks On His Beef With Jackboy
Almost a year after Kodak Black reached out to Jackboy to reconcile, the rapper was featured in an interview with Revolt’s Big Facts Podcast. During the chat, he spoke out about his withered relationship with Jackboy. “You Know I love that lil n***a… I would never open up my platform to you if there wasn’t no love. I could’ve kept the n***a as just a n***a that I know but I gave the n***a all the game and all that tight time because it was genuine love.”
August 2022: A Rekindled Feud
In August, 2022, Jackboy and DJ Akademiks had a chat of their own. There, the rapper explained his beef with NBA Youngboy, and denied Kodak Black’s claims that he had started the rift. He insisted he couldn’t possibly be beefing with Youngboy because he and the rapper had never even met before. Moreover, Jackboy believed that Kodak Black couldn’t be happy for him without claiming to be the source of his success.
I definitely ain’t beefing up with no dude because I don’t even know Youngboy. I don’t know him. I never met him so it’s like how could I beef with you? I only comment after whenever y’all say something, I’ma comment back. I was in prison when the beef started. I was in prison in Virginia and I guess n***a burnt the boxes or some shit. That’s how the beef start. N***a burnt your boxes, ain’t my merch. I feel like bruh super love when I do good but it gotta be like you helped me to do good.
In 2021, Kodak Black had claimed that Jackboy owed him money. As a result, the latter made a move against Kodak months later with his song “Renegade (Closure).” He stated: “You ain’t Z, you bought your way in. Boy you ain’t no killer, you be cryin’ when you get caged in.”
Soon after, Kodak responded to the diss track with a post on his Instagram stories. He wrote: “People B Hurt When They Can’t B Yo Friend No More. They Start Doing Lil Pussy Ass Hating Shit And Lyin On Yo Name Try Bring You Down Wit Em Kuz They Really Need You Fr So If You Can’t Be They Friend No More All They Motion Gone and They Lose Hope.” Evidently, the pair are still at loggerheads.
December 2022: $2 Million Boxing Match Challenge
Just when things were starting to quiet down between the former friends, Jackboy went on Instagram Live and issued a challenge to Kodak. Placing $2 Million on the line, Jackboy challenged Kodak Black to a boxing match. He said, “I would put up $2 million right now to fight Yak in the ring on some Jake Paul shit that man ain’t gon do that… That boy can go get trained by God, boy I’m gon beat this boy ass boy. That’s like a little brother like you know, say your little brother don’t matter how good he get or what he learn in life you just could whoop him.”
August 2023: Kodak Black Accuses Jackboy Of Fake Street Cred
Once again, Kodak Black publicly criticized his former friend. He asserted that Jackboy’s entire persona is, in fact, a fabrication. During Jackboy’s recent Instagram Live session, Kodak took the opportunity to join the comments section. Specifically, he brought attention to Jackboy’s previous legal troubles. His comments read: “You stole outta Sports Authority and went to juvie came home a gangster,” and “I made you.” However, seemingly finding the subtle insult amusing, Jackboy went ahead to pin one of the comments.
Kodak Black recently found himself in federal court in Miami facing probation violation allegations. During the proceedings, the South Florida rapper’s attorneys sought permission for him to enroll in a drug treatment program.
Kodak’s Defense Team Requests Treatment
Kodak Black recently made an appearance in a federal court in Miami on Tuesday, Dec. 19. During his court hearing, his attorneys requested that the judge grant permission for the rapper to attend a 90-day drug treatment program in Arizona.
The defense team argued that Black became dependent on Percocet and Oxycodone after being assaulted in a Kentucky prison in 2020. However, authorities opposed the reasoning, arguing that the proposed program fell outside their jurisdiction and raised concerns about the lack of control probation officers would have over Black’s actions.
Judge Defers Decision
The judge decided to defer the decision on the treatment program to the judge overseeing the rapper’s case. Despite the request for enrollment in a drug treatment program, Kodak Black will continue to remain in federal custody.
He was taken into custody for allegedly violating probation. The arrest came about after authorities found him passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation on December 7, charged with cocaine possession and other offenses. According to the arrest report, the responding officer discovered Black’s mouth full of white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine.
Following his release from a Broward jail, Kodak Black was apprehended by federal authorities due to the probation violation.

Kodak Black Comes Clean About Lean Use
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.
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.”
