Kodak Black Taken Into Federal Custody for Probation Violation Amidst Recent Arrest
In a turn of events, rapper Kodak Black, legally known as Bill Kapri, has found himself in federal custody due to a probation violation. The 26-year-old artist has been placed in the Federal Detention Center in Miami, FL, as confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. While the specifics of when he was taken into custody remain unclear, it is evident that Kodak Black is currently incarcerated, with no release date listed.
The recent legal troubles for the rapper began on December 7 when he was arrested in South Florida on charges of cocaine possession, tampering with physical evidence, and improper parking. Subsequently, on December 11, Kodak Black pleaded not guilty to the charges and opted for a trial by jury.
According to the police report, the arrest took place when officers approached Kodak’s Bentley, parked on an active roadway. The encounter led to allegations of alcohol smell, and a search of the vehicle reportedly revealed cannabis rolling paper, cannabis residue, and white powder. Officers also claimed that Kodak’s mouth contained white powder.
In an Instagram Live session on December 11, Kodak Black addressed his recent arrest, denying the allegations and labeling them as “bogus.” He expressed frustration with his mugshot being circulated on the internet and, in a rambling confession, discussed his drug usage.
The rapper admitted to abusing Percocet, stating it was prescribed after being shot in the leg in February 2022. He asserted, “I’ll tell God himself I do Percs and shit like that, but them was my medicine prescribed to me.” Kodak Black revealed efforts to get clean, having spent $350,000 on rehab, emphasizing his commitment to self-improvement and the responsibility of being there for his children.
The development of federal custody introduces a new layer of complexity to Kodak Black’s legal situation, and further information is awaited from the FBI’s Miami field office for clarification on the matter.
