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 Duffy will 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.”
Kodak’s Legal Woes
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 Bill Vol. 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.
