Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida on a drug trafficking charge, adding to the legal woes of the 28-year-old star.
The rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department on Wednesday, facing a first-degree felony charge for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine (MDMA), per TMZ.
In Florida, trafficking 10 grams or more of MDMA is considered a serious first-degree felony, carrying a mandatory minimum three-year prison sentence and a $50,000 fine.
According to a five-page police affidavit, the case stems from an incident outside the Children’s Safety Village, a nonprofit for children in Orlando, back in November 2025.
Police say they were called to the location after reports of gunfire, and upon arriving, found a BMW and a Lamborghini parked outside. Detecting the smell of marijuana, officers began searching the vehicles.
During the search, Kapri reportedly approached the officers.

Authorities said they discovered a pink pair of scissors on the floorboard of one of the cars, which matched a pair of scissors seen in a photo on the rapper’s Instagram a week earlier.
They also found rings in the car that matched items featured on his social media account.
The search eventually uncovered drugs inside the vehicle.
Kapri’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, told TMZ that Kodak’s arrest on Wednesday came as part of a coordinated surrender linked to the November 2025 incident, when police searched a vehicle carrying a passenger who was not the rapper
Cohen said the trafficking charge has a ‘weak legal basis,’ and ‘should have never been filed.’
This is not the first time Kapri has faced legal trouble. In 2023, he was arrested in South Florida on charges of cocaine possession, tampering with evidence, and violating probation.
The previous year, in 2022, he was arrested for trafficking oxycodone and possessing a controlled substance without a prescription, and was also cited for driving with an expired driver’s license and registration tags.
