Florida rapper Kodak Black was busted on Friday after he was allegedly in possession of dozens of oxycodone pills during a traffic stop.
The 25-year-old Pompano Beach rapper was driving a Dodge Durango in Fort Lauderdale when police pulled him over for a suspected illegal window tint, according to TMZ.
Officers reportedly smelled marijuana when they approached Black’s truck. A search of the vehicle turned up 31 oxy pills and $74,960 in cash, the outlet said.
In addition, cops found that the license and tags on Black’s vehicle were expired and the rapper was taken to Broward County jail on unspecified charges, according to the report.
Black, who was born Dieuson Octave and later changed his legal name to Bill Kahan Kapri, has had a litany of legal problems that include an auto theft charge when he was just in middle school.
Black has been in and out of jail and prison in connection with various felonies throughout his young career. He was busted for weapons possession In 2019 and sentenced to four years in prison. He served about half the term before his sentence was commuted by former President Donald Trump before he left office.
The Atlantic Records recording artist avoided more prison time last year by taking a plea deal after being charged with raping a teenager in 2016.
In January 2022, Florida prosecutors rejected a trespassing charge against Kodak Black after the “Zeze” rapper was apprehended at the Golden Acres public housing development in his Pompano Beach hometown on New Year’s Day, the RollingStone reported.
Black, known for hits like “No Flockin’” and “Roll in Peace,” has sold more than 30 million singles since 2014.
