Rapper Kodak Black Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Florida, Jail Records Show

Authorities say a vehicle search led to a prescription cough syrup bottle with his fingerprint, and Kodak Black is being held without bond.

  • On Wednesday, rapper Kodak Black, known legally as Bill Kapri, was booked into the Orange County Jail on a felony drug trafficking charge. The 28-year-old is facing an MDMA trafficking charge.
  • Attorney Bradford Cohen described the arrest as a "coordinated surrender" in connection with a November 2025 case, and Kodak is being held without bond while his legal team seeks a bond hearing.
  • Police allegedly discovered a bottle of prescription cough syrup featuring the rapper's fingerprint, though Cohen criticized the charge's "weak legal basis," maintaining that the medicine was lawfully possessed.
  • The investigation stems from a vehicle search where a passenger, not Kodak, was present. Cohen stated, "We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed."
  • Kapri has faced previous arrests, including a 2022 charge for trafficking oxycodone and 2023 arrests for cocaine possession, tampering with evidence, and violating probation. This pattern establishes a lengthy criminal history.
