Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested for the second time in less than a month after deputies accused him of fleeing during a traffic stop in Pompano Beach.
The rapper, born Bill Kapri, was booked into Broward County jail on charges including fleeing law enforcement, a third-degree felony, and resisting or obstructing an officer without violence. Investigators say the case stems from a February 27 stop involving Kodak’s pink Jeep Grand Cherokee.
According to the arrest affidavit, deputies claimed Kodak initially pulled over before driving away after several armed guards, described as part of his security team, arrived at the scene in separate vehicles. Officers later linked the rapper to the stop through clothing matching photos posted to social media earlier that day.
Hours later, the same pink Jeep was stopped again while being driven by another person. Deputies said they found 16 grams of Oxycodone, cannabis, more than $26,000 in cash, and diamond jewelry inside the vehicle.
How Serious Are the Charges Against Kodak Black?
Under state law, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement is treated as a felony offense that can lead to prison time. Kodak Black is now dealing with multiple pending cases following his earlier drug trafficking arrest this month, which could complicate future hearings. Judges can also impose temporary restrictions while charges remain active, including limits involving firearms.
During Friday’s hearing, the judge ordered the rapper not to possess weapons while the case continues.
Deputies Say Armed Guards Changed the Stop
One of the most unusual details in the arrest report involved several armed men investigators identified as Kodak Black’s security team. Deputies said the guards arrived beside the stop before Kodak allegedly got back into his Jeep and drove away.
Investigators later pointed to that encounter as a key part of the case. Kodak’s attorney, Bradford M. Cohen, defended the guards in court and said they were legally licensed to carry firearms.
What started as a roadside stop quickly became more chaotic once the security team arrived.
Kodak was released later Friday after posting a $3,500 bond.
The latest arrest comes just days after Kodak was taken into custody on separate drug trafficking charges tied to an earlier investigation involving alleged MDMA possession. His attorney previously described that case as a “coordinated surrender” and argued the rapper was not present when police allegedly discovered prescription cough syrup during a vehicle search tied to the investigation.
The “Super Gremlin” and “Zeze” rapper has faced repeated legal problems throughout his career, and the back-to-back arrests are likely to bring even more attention to his growing list of pending cases.
