American rapper Bill Kapri, widely known as Kodak Black, found himself back in legal trouble after being arrested on Thursday in South Florida. The 26-year-old artist faces charges of cocaine possession, evidence tampering, and violating his existing probation.<\/p>\n
According to a police statement, Kodak Black was discovered asleep in a Bentley around 3 a.m. in Plantation, where drugs were found on his person.<\/p>\n
Following his arrest, the rapper was taken into custody at Broward County jail. However, NBC Miami reported that he managed to secure his release on Thursday night after posting bail.<\/p>\n
This is not the first encounter with the law for Kodak Black. In January 2021, former U.S. President Donald Trump commuted his 46-month prison sentence, which stemmed from falsifying information on federal forms to purchase firearms. This decision was made on Trump’s last full day in office.<\/p>\n
The rapper’s legal history includes a previous seven-month stint in a Florida prison for charges such as marijuana possession, child neglect, grand theft of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Additionally, Kodak Black has faced charges related to weapons possession, armed robbery, sexual assault, probation violations, and fleeing from officers in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
