Arrest warrant issued for rapper Kodak Black in Florida
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida. – A Florida judge has issued an arrest warrant for rapper Kodak Black for failing a drug test while on bail on drug charges, court records show.
The warrant was issued Thursday after Black, whose legal name is Bill Capri, failed to show up for a scheduled drug test in early February and then submitted a sample days later that tested positive for fentanyl, according to reports.
Broward County Judge Barbara Duffy issued a warrant and wrote that the rapper had violated the terms of his pretrial release on charges of dealing oxycodone since July.
Black pleaded not guilty to the human trafficking charges. His lawyer was not immediately available for comment on Sunday.
In January 2020, then-President Donald Trump commuted the rapper’s three-year prison sentence for falsifying documents used to buy weapons. Black served about half of his sentence.
Black is nominated for Hip-Hop of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and has sold over 30 million singles with hits like “Super Gremlin” which peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 last year.
