U.S. rapper Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida on allegations of drug trafficking, according to local authorities.
The artist, whose real name is Bill Kahan Kapri, was taken into custody on Wednesday and booked into the Orange County Corrections Department on charges linked to trafficking MDMA, a synthetic stimulant commonly known as “Molly,” official records indicated.
Authorities said the rapper was processed following his arrest, with booking images showing him appearing solemn, wearing his trademark long dreadlocks.
Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, described the arrest as a “coordinated surrender” connected to a November 2025 incident in which police searched a vehicle occupied by a passenger who was not the rapper.
According to Cohen, officers reportedly recovered a bag containing several items, including a bottle of prescription cough syrup that allegedly bore Kodak Black’s fingerprint.
The attorney said the defence intends to challenge the trafficking charge, describing it as lacking a strong legal basis.
“We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen said.
Kodak Black has faced multiple legal issues in the past, including arrests related to drug possession, weapons charges, assault, battery and trespassing, marking a long history of encounters with law enforcement.
