Rapper Kodak Black was arrested Friday for drug possession and trafficking in Florida after being pulled over in a traffic stop, authorities said.
Kodak Black, 25, whose real name is Bill Kahan Kapri, was driving a purple Dodge Durango when he was pulled over by Florida Highway Patrol for an expired registration tag and windows that "appeared darker than the legal limit," Lt. Alex Camacho said, according to the Miami Herald.
According to the report, police say they smelled a strong odor of marijuana from inside the vehicle and found during a search a small clear bag that contained 31 tablets of oxycodone and a total of $74,960 in cash.
According to the jail's online records, Kapri is being held at Broward County Jail under charges of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription and trafficking oxycodone of fewer than 25 grams.
The rapper was charged with a felony, one charge of trafficking oxycodone, and a lesser charge of possession of a controlled substance, according to the Broward County clerk. A $75,000 bond for Black's release was negotiated at a Saturday morning bail hearing, his lawyer Bradford Cohen told Rolling Stone.
"Never judge a case based on an arrest. There are facts and circumstances that give rise to a defense, especially in this case," Cohen told Rolling Stone Saturday morning. "We will move forward with resolving the matter quickly."
The rapper was sentenced to 46 months in prison in 2019 for knowingly making false statements on federal forms to acquire a firearm from a federal firearm dealer. In January 2021, on his last day in office, former President Donald Trump granted Kapri clemency, praising him for his philanthropy.
