Kodak Black has been arrested again.

NBC Miami reports that Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies apprehended the rapper in Pompano Beach. Broward County jail records obtained by the outlet show that he was booked for fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence.

Kodak’s latest arrest comes days after he was apprehended in Florida on a drug trafficking charge.

On May 6, the 28-year-old rapper was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department and hit with a first-degree felony charge for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine, arrest records show.

Yak later pleaded not guilty to the felony charge. During the arrest, police discovered MDMA and $37,000 in his vehicle.

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.

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 of a black Tesla that had fled from detectives earlier in April.

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.
