Florida authorities arrested rapper Kodak Black on Wednesday on an MDMA trafficking charge linked to a November 2025 case, his attorney said.
Officials booked the 28-year-old artist, whose legal name is Bill K. Kapri, into the Orange County Corrections Department.
Attorney Bradford Cohen told Page Six the arrest followed a “coordinated surrender.” Cohen said the case stems from a search of a vehicle in which Kodak Black was not present.
He said police allegedly found a bag containing prescription cough syrup with the rapper’s fingerprint.
“This is a case where the law is not sufficient to charge possession of the item,” Cohen said.
Cohen said prosecutors filed the matter as a trafficking charge and called the legal basis weak.
TMZ reported that officers also found $37,000 in cash, documents bearing Kodak Black’s legal name and a gun-shaped lighter in the bag.
Kodak Black rose to fame with tracks including “No Flockin” and “Tunnel Vision.”
He has previously faced legal issues, including firearms and sexual assault convictions. In 2020, he served time in federal prison before President Donald Trump commuted his sentence. Cohen said the latest case “should have never been filed” and vowed to fight the charge.
