Kodak Black Arrested for MDMA Trafficking in Florida

Kodak Black is behind bars again. The Florida rapper — born Bill Kapri — was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Orange County Jail on a felony charge of trafficking MDMA, according to Orange County Jail records. He’s currently being held on no bond.

His mugshot tells its own story. Gone is the usual bravado — Kodak stared into the camera stone-faced, dreadlocks fanning out in every direction, looking every bit like a man who knew this moment was coming.

And apparently, it was. According to attorney Bradford Cohen, Wednesday’s arrest wasn’t a surprise bust — it was a coordinated surrender connected to a case that dates back to November 2025. Cohen told TMZ that the incident in question involved a police officer searching a vehicle with one passenger who was not Kodak. Inside that vehicle, cops allegedly found a bag containing several items, including a bottle of prescription cough syrup that reportedly had Kodak’s fingerprint on it.

That fingerprint, it seems, is the crux of the trafficking charge.

His Lawyer Is Already Pushing Back

Cohen isn’t mincing words. He’s calling the charge weak and says this kind of overreach is a pattern when it comes to his client. “We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen said, making clear he intends to fight this one hard.

MDMA — also known as ecstasy or molly — is a synthetic stimulant, and trafficking charges in Florida carry serious mandatory minimum sentences. But Cohen’s position is that the legal basis here simply doesn’t hold up.

This is far from Kodak’s first run-in with law enforcement. The rapper has a well-documented history of arrests spanning drug possession, weapons charges, assault, battery, trespassing, and probation violations. He was previously granted clemency by President Trump in 2021 after serving time on federal weapons charges, only to face additional legal trouble in the years since.

Jail records show Kodak was expected to appear before a judge Thursday. His legal team is already in motion — and if Cohen’s track record with Kodak cases is any indication, this fight is just getting started.
