Prison Sentence
In 2019, Kodak Black was arrested for making false statements in order to possess firearms, leading to a nearly four-year sentence in federal prison. However, in 2021, President Donald Trump commuted his sentence.
During his time behind bars, Kodak released his third album, Bill Israel (2020), though it received less commercial attention. In 2021, his single "Super Gremlin" achieved a significant commercial comeback, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The track was later featured on his fourth album, Back for Everything (2022). Kodak continued to release new music in 2023, with the release of his fifth and sixth albums, Pistolz & Pearlz and When I Was Dead.

Kodak Black and Maranda 'Mjae' Johnson
Maranda 'Mjae' Johnson, a prominent figure on WAGs To Riches, is known for her fiery personality and tumultuous relationship with rapper Kodak Black. Mjae, a reality TV star and entrepreneur, works as a realtor for Allure Realty, owned by Sharelle Rosado, and is the founder of Seven Luke Cosmetics. She joined Allure Realty at just 21 years old.
Mjae has been in an on-and-off relationship with Kodak since 2017, and the couple shares two children: a daughter, Queen Yuri, born on 22 January 2022, and a son, Prince Kapri, born on 27 February 2024.
On the show, Mjae spoke candidly about the challenges of dating an artist, saying, "The bad things that come along with dating an artist is all the little girls. They're like flies that won't go away. You just gotta swat them b***hes. They're just annoying. But long as your man have self-control... Some men do. Some don't."
Mjae made headlines for her arrest in 2023 for burglary, battery, and grand theft after an alleged altercation with Jammiah Broomfield, Kodak's first child's mother. She spent a night in prison following the incident, which Mjae discussed on the show. I guess it runs in the family...
