Kodak Black arrested in Florida for alleged drug trafficking

Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida for alleged drug trafficking.

The 28-year-old “Zeze” rapper was taken into custody on Wednesday and booked into the Orange County Corrections Department for trafficking MDMA, Page Six can confirm.

Black, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, looked serious in his mugshot obtained by Page Six.

Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, told us that the rapper’s arrest was a “coordinated surrender” connected with a November 2025 case that involved an officer searching a vehicle that his client wasn’t in.

Cohen said that the officer discovered a bag containing a bottle of prescription cough syrup that allegedly had Black’s fingerprint on it.

“This is a case where the law is not sufficient to charge possession of the item,” he told us. “Then instead of simple possession, they doubled down and filed it as a trafficking charge.”

Black’s lawyer added that he plans to fight the drug trafficking charge over its “weak legal basis.”

“We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen concluded.

This wouldn’t be the first time the hip-hop star was arrested.

The “No Flockin” rapper has had a long history of criminal charges, which have included armed robbery, false imprisonment, weapons possession and sexual assault.

In March 2020, he pleaded guilty to charges of firearms possession and served time in federal prison. However, President Donald Trump commuted his conviction the following June.

He was also arrested for trespassing in his hometown of Pompano Beach, Florida, in January 2022.

A few weeks later, Black pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree assault and battery and was sentenced to 18 months of probation.

Meanwhile, the “Tunnel Vision” rapper opened up about his drug use shortly after being arrested for cocaine possession in Plantation, Florida, in December 2023.

“I’ll tell God himself I do Percs and s–t like that, but them was my medicine prescribed to me,” he said during an Instagram Live at the time, citing the prescription he was given after being shot in the leg in February 2022.

“Even before I got shot and I had got prescribed to them again, I could say that I had started damn abusing,” he added.

Black also opened up about his efforts to get clean following his December 2023 cocaine arrest.

“I’m working on myself. I’m working right now, homie,” the rapper said. “I paid $350,000 and s–t to get clean and get better. I’ve done went to rehab by myself without the court having to tell me to do that. Just me wanting to better myself.”

The dad of five added, “I got children, homie, and I have to be here for them. I never have enough time on the streets to even be no junkie.”
