Kodak Black has been arrested for the second time in less than a month, as the Florida rapper (born Bill Kapri) was booked into custody Thursday (May 14) on charges of fleeing law enforcement.
According to Broward County Clerk of Courts jail records, in addition to the charge of fleeing law enforcement — a third-degree felony — Kodak was also charged with resisting or obstructing without violence, which is a misdemeanor.

The charges stem from a Feb. 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach, Fla., according to NBC6, which viewed the arrest affidavit that claims Kodak “did have knowledge that he had been ordered to stop such vehicle by a duly authorized law enforcement officer, stopped in knowing compliance with such order, and proceeded to flee from deputies.”
Of the Feb. 27 incident, the report states that officers spotted Kodak in a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee and alleged he was stopped and holding up traffic. The “Super Gremlin” rapper then began driving and was eventually pulled over by the officers.
The situation took a turn when an SUV and a minivan pulled up next to the traffic stop, and multiple armed men, allegedly Kodak’s security guards, hopped out. That’s when Kodak got back in his Jeep and drove off, according to deputies.
Officers said Kodak was wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey at the time of the traffic stop, which matched the wardrobe he was wearing in a post on social media earlier on Feb. 27.
The same pink Jeep Cherokee was allegedly pulled over again hours later, though it was then being driven by another individual. Officers found 16 grams of Oxycodone, three grams of cannabis, more than $26,000 in cash and prized diamond jewelry pieces.
The Sniper Gang rapper was in court for a hearing on Friday (May 15). “When they say everyone was armed, that pulled up, that was his security team. So yes, his security team is armed, they are licensed to carry. It is a Second Amendment state,” Kodak’s attorney, Bradford M. Cohen, reportedly told the judge. “And they all have permits for their firearms.”
Kodak posted a $3,500 bond and was released on Friday following the hearing. He was ordered not to use any weapons while the case remains active.
The rapper ran into legal trouble earlier in the month when he was arrested in Florida on May 6 on drug trafficking charges. He’s accused of trafficking MDMA, the drug more commonly known as Molly or ecstasy.
At the time of that arrest, Kodak’s attorney Cohen explained in a statement to Billboard that it was a “coordinated surrender” to authorities over a November 2025 incident in which police discovered a bottle of prescription cough syrup while searching a car. Cohen claims his client wasn’t in the car at the time, and that there were no fingerprints on the bottle leading back to the rapper.
“We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen added.
Billboard has reached out to Cohen for comment on the latest incident.
