Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida on a drug trafficking charge.
The 28-year-old rapper was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department on Wednesday (May 6) and hit with a first-degree felony charge for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine (MDMA), arrest records show. Complex has reached out to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
When reached for comment, Kodak’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, said that the charges against his client have a “weak legal basis,” and “should have never been filed.
“This was a coordinated surrender on a case from Nov. of 2025 where after an officer searched a vehicle that had one passenger in it, that was not Mr Kapri, they found a bag containing several items including a bottle of prescription cough syrup,” said Cohen. “That bottle was fingerprinted and allegedly had Mr. Kapri's fingerprint on it. This is a case [that] legally is not sufficient to charge possession of the item. Then instead of simple possession they doubled down and filed it as a trafficking charge. I will be fighting the charge. This is an ongoing theme where cases that would normally not be filed due to a weak legal basis are filed against Mr. Kapri. We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed.”
His arrest comes less than a month after the mother of one of his children, Jammiah Broomfield, was arrested on charges including trafficking methamphetamine, resisting an officer without violence, and driving with a suspended license. Authorities said the arrest followed a pursuit involving a black Tesla, which had previously fled from detectives earlier in April.
Broomfield was taken into custody and later told police that she was picking up methamphetamine for her boyfriend. She was on probation until 2030 at the time of the arrest for an unrelated grand theft charge. When the news broke, Kodak reacted on social media and called for her release.
Kodak Black has a history of legal issues, including being arrested for cocaine possession in December 2023. He was also arrested two times in 2022, once for trespassing and once for drug possession. His 2020 conviction for firearms possession was commuted by President Donald Trump in January, 2021.
