Rapper Kodak Black is back in the headlines after another run-in with law enforcement. The Florida artist was taken into custody again this week after he attempted to flee police. The arrest marks the latest in a series of legal issues the 28-year-old has faced throughout his career.
Rapper Kodak Black arrested again
Kodak Black was arrested again in Florida on Thursday, May 14, marking his second arrest in less than two weeks.
The rapper, born Bill Kapri, faces charges of resisting an officer without violence and attempting to flee law enforcement, according to Broward County Sheriff’s Office records. Following the arrest, Kapri was booked into the Broward County Jail. Records list both charges as pending trial, with bond set at $0.
“This is a self-surrender from yet another ‘investigation’ that just happened to also take 5 months to ‘investigate’ for allegedly fleeing and alluding,” Kapri’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, told TMZ.
“It’s not unexpected, as this is usually the procedure we go through where there is an unfounded weak arrest and then followed up by yet another arrest for cases that allegedly take 5 or 6 months to investigate,” Cohen added. “At this point, I think everyone agrees that Kodak is consistently being targeted.”
Kodak Black was also arrested on May 6 on a felony MDMA trafficking charge. The charge stems from an alleged November 2025 incident in Orlando involving reports of gunfire outside the Children’s Safety Village.
According to the affidavit, Orlando police responding to the scene said that they smelled marijuana from a parked car, and Kapri allegedly approached during the search. Officers claim that they found drugs in the vehicle, along with pink scissors, a ring, and a gun. They say those items appeared to match posts from Kapri’s Instagram.
According to police, the discovery of drugs in one vehicle prompted the Pompano Beach native’s arrest.
At his May 7 arraignment, Bill Kapri pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial. The judge set a $75,000 bond, citing his prior record, and he later bonded out.
