The American artist Kodak Black was arrested on Friday July 15 while driving his car in Florida.
Officers suspected the vehicle's windows were tinted more than the law allows, CNN reports.
As
Deadline
points out, the paperwork was not up to date.
Then, smelling marijuana, the police conducted a search of the car.
During this, they found 75,000 dollars in cash and 31 pills of oxycodone, an addictive opiate, used against pain.
Kodak Black, has, for the time being, been transferred to the Broward County Jail.
“We have negotiated $75,000 bail and will move forward to quickly resolve this issue,”
his attorney Bradford Cohen told CNN.
The 25-year-old rapper was still in custody on Saturday July 16.
Far from being a first for the singer with 30 million singles sold.
He was prosecuted in April 2019 for
“possession of drugs and weapons”
while trying to return to the United States from Canada, then sentenced to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to
“falsifying documents”
with the goal to buy guns in Miami.
But a few hours before Joe Biden's inauguration at the White House, outgoing President Donald Trump had decided to grant presidential pardon to 73 people, including the rapper.
His condemnations do not stop there.
In April 2021, Kodak Black, real name Bill Kahan Kapri, was sentenced to probation after assaulting a teenage girl in a hotel room in South Carolina.
More recently, in February 2022, he was injured by a bullet in the leg during a crowd movement, starting from an argument between him and a person he allegedly hit.
