Kodak Black arrested in Broward County. It’s his second arrest this month
Editor's Note: Kodak Black was arrested on Thursday for a second time this month in Florida, according to Broward County jail records.
On Friday, the 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was being held in the county’s main jail in Fort Lauderdale on a total bond of $3,500 on charges of fleeing and eluding police and resisting arrest without violence. Details of the charges were not immediately available.
His attorney, Bradford Cohen, did not immediately respond to the Miami Herald’s request for comments, but told celebrity news outlet TMZ that the arrest stems from an ongoing investigation.
“This is a self surrender from yet another ‘investigation’ that just happened to also take 5 months to ‘investigate’ for allegedly fleeing and eluding,” Cohen said. “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. At this point I think everyone agrees that Kodak is consistently being targeted.”
Kapri, who was born in Pompano Beach, turned himself in to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando on May 6 on charges of trafficking MDMA, the party drug known as molly or ecstasy.
That arrest stemmed from an incident that happened six months prior in Orlando on Nov. 24, 2025, when officers responded to gunshots near the Children’s Safety Village, a nonprofit helping at-risk children, according to an arrest report.
Officers searched a BMW SUV and a Lamborghini SUV, which both smelled of marijuana, the report states. The drivers of both cars were arrested. The report did not detail their relationship to Kapri.
Cops found weed and a metal container containing a pink pill inside the BMW’s trunk, according to the report. They found a “white, powdery substance” on a $100 bill on the Lamborghini’s floorboard, the report states. There was also a pair of scissors that were seen in photos on Kapri’s Instagram account and found near the cars, police say.
Also found in the Lamborghini was a pink bag, which contained $37,000, “numerous documents” and a prison ID card that carried the name “Bill Kapri,” according to the report.
A sample collected from the cars turned up positive for MDMA after a test at a Florida Department of Law Enforcement lab in April, police say.
