Kodak Black can breath a sigh of relief when it comes to his legal concerns. His recent drug possession case has been dismissed.
As reported by XXL, the Pompano Beach, Florida, native is no longer facing charges behind his latest run in with the law. Back in December 2023 the man legally now known as Bill Kapri was arrested in Plantation, Florida, for allegedly illegally parking his Bentley. Police approached the vehicle and claim they found the “Super Gremlin” MC asleep with a white powdery substance around his lips which the badges said later tested positive for cocaine.
On Wednesday, April 17, his longtime lawyer, Bradford Cohen, shared an update via his Instagram account. “Count 2 is now dismissed of Kodaks ‘possession of cocaine’ that wasn’t a cocaine case that should have never been filed or brought by the Broward State Atty Office,” he wrote in the caption. “We showed them his script prior to filing, and they decided to file anyway… even knowing the officer was wrong about the substance and his story changing and making no sense. That case is now completely dismissed.” The accompanying visual was a screenshot of a court document confirming the dismissal.
Kodak Black is still on probation due to a firearms charge he caught back in 2019 while at Rolling Loud Miami. He has yet to formally comment on the charges being dismissed.

Yung Miami saw her name trending this week on social media as the legal issues involving Sean “Diddy” Combs continue to develop swiftly. In an amended lawsuit, Yung Miami was accused of allegedly transporting pink cocaine for Diddy, which is reportedly a mixture of ecstasy and cocaine.
XXL obtained court documents related to the lawsuit brought by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, which has since been amended after the initial filing. According to the report, Lil Rod added 25 pages of additional information related to the matter and went into detail about how the Bad Boy mogul used drug mules to deliver the narcotics.
“Plaintiff and the Combs Rico Enterprise were rehearsing for ‘Something in the Westival.” in Virginia,” reads a portion of the court filing. “Plaintiff Jones personally witnessed Mr. Combs do a few lines of coke in his dressing room. Defendant Sean Combs wanted tuci but Brendan forgot it, so Defendant Kristina Khorram called Yung Miami. Who then brought it on the private jet from Miami.”
The name Brendan mentioned in the above paragraph is Brendan Paul, who was arrested this past Monday (March 25) at the Opa-Locka Airport in Miami, Fla. around the same time police conducted raids on Diddy’s homes.
Yung Miami has not made any mention of the ongoing legal matters that Combs is currently enduring. She has been active on X and shared a tweet that fans seized on amidst the legal happenings while speculating what will happen next for the artist and podcast host.
On X, we’ve got reactions from all sides to the alleged transporting of pink cocaine on Diddy’s behalf below.

Colombian law enforcement have made a considerable dent into their narcotics problem. They have busted a cartel that allegedly moves five tons of cocaine a month.
Raw Story is reporting that local Bogota police have partnered with officials from Ecuador for a major bust of the Los Curva criminal organization. The ring is estimated to do about $2 billion in profits a year via an international network that distributes the illegal substance to various parts of the world including Europe. Lawmen also claim that Los Curva worked with the Sinaloa Cartel, ran formerly by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, in Mexico.
On Saturday (Jan. 6), the two leaders were arrested. Brothers Hader and Dairon Cuero were nabbed on various drug trafficking charges; Hader is also wanted by the United States. “This operation stops the shipment of five tons of cocaine per month,” said General Nicolas Zapata, deputy director of Colombian National Police.
According to Reuters, William Villarroel, national director of Anti-Drug Investigations in Ecuador, detailed that their operation transported the cocaine via speed boats and other sea vessels that ran maritime routes to Mexico. “This network dedicated to international drug trafficking operated strategically by sea, coordinating Colombian and Ecuadorian citizens on the Ecuadorian coasts” per the official statement from Ecuador’s Interior Ministry (according to Google Translate).
The bust comes just days after the nine tons of cocaine was seized in Bolivia.

Habitual prison visitor/rapper Kodak Black found himself back behind bars after violating the terms of his probation.
Local news affiliate NBC South Florida 6 reports Kodak Black, born Bill Kapri, is currently being held at a Miami Federal Detention Center after bonding out of jail after being pinched for cocaine possession and other charges.
The “No Flockin’” rapper was found in his vehicle, passed out with booger sugar, aka cocaine, in his mouth and a baggie in his pocket.
The rapper pleaded not guilty to the charges and claimed he did not have cocaine despite the visible strong evidence against him.
Per NBC South Florida 6:
The Dec. 7 arrest happened in Plantation after an officer spotted a black Bentley SUV parked in the roadway in the 600 block of Northwest 47th Terrace, an arrest report said.
The officer approached the SUV and found the rapper asleep in the driver’s seat, noting that “a strong odor of burnt cannabis” was coming from the vehicle, the report said.
The officer opened the SUV’s door and shut it off. Inside was a cup in the door that smelled of alcohol, along with “cannabis wrapping paper and suspect cannabis residue” in the center console, the report said.
The officer approached and noticed Black’s mouth was “full of white powder,” the report said.
The substance later tested positive for cocaine, the report said. Black also had a clear plastic baggie in his pocket that also was tested, the report said.
Kodak’s History of Arrests
This latest arrest joins the list of his previous interactions with the law. Black was arrested in 2022 on a trespassing charge.
He also served a three-year federal prison sentence for falsifying documents to buy firearms at a Miami gun store.
In a stranger turn of events, aka pandering on another level, the orange menace and the worst president in United States history, not name James Buchanan, Donald Trump, commuted his sentence on the final day of his failed presidency.
Welp.
Trump isn’t here to save Kodak Black this time, and Joe Biden has bigger things to worry about than pardoning this knucklehead rapper.

You can add Kodak Black’s name to the list of rappers trying to clear their name. He has pleaded not guilty to a recent arrest where cops say he had cocaine on him.
HipHopDX is reporting that the Pompano Beach, Florida, native has another legal fight on his hands. On Monday, December 11 he formally submitted a not guilty plea to charges of third-degree cocaine possession, tampering with physical evidence and improper stop/stand/park. On Thursday, December 7 the “ZEZE” rapper was approached by local police and allege that his Bentley SUV smelled of alcohol. Upon further inspection the badges found “cannabis wrapping paper and suspect cannabis residue” in the car and suspect the man known Bill Kapri was trying to discard narcotics as his mouth was “full of white powder.”
The arrest report would go on to provide further details on what occurred when the MC was detained. “I placed Kapri in handcuffs and observed white, rock-like substances on the ground,” the police document read. “Kapri uttered that it was “Percocet”. Naturally the news of the “Super Gremlin” talent allegedly getting caught with drugs quickly went viral. According to XXL Magazine Kodak Black addressed the accusations on Instagram Live.
“If that s**t ain’t me, don’t put that on me,” Kodak told his followers. “Don’t convict me of some s**t that ain’t me” he said. “Them people went cocaine on me. That’s the only s**t that I’m flaming about…I done told y’all, I did meth before. I ain’t into that s**t. I ain’t riding around with no cocaine. These people don’t have no body-cam, none of that. It’s 2023, fam.”

White House officials have confirmed that a powdery substance found near the guest entrance of the West Wing was indeed cocaine. An investigation is currently underway to discover how the narcotic made its way into the White House.
The Washington Post was one of several large outlets covering the discovery of the substance at the White House. The substance was found this past Sunday (July 2) on the ground floor near an area where visitors are instructed to leave their cell phones according to sources speaking with the outlet.
The Secret Service is leading the investigation of the found drugs, which the outlet adds sparked officials to evacuate the building. After initial testing pointed to the substance being cocaine, a final test confirmed the findings.
President Joe Biden was away for the weekend at Camp David and did not return to the White House until Tuesday (July 4). President Biden has not made a public statement regarding the discovery.
Tours of the White House take place on evenings and weekends. As a security measure, guests are told to leave their devices in a series of small boxes prior to entering the West Wing. The cocaine was found near these small storage boxes which essentially points that the substance indeed came from a visitor and not a staff member. However, that fact has yet to be established by Secret Service officials.
Given the political tensions across the nation, some pundits have used the discovery of the drugs to connect the cocaine to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, despite little evidence provided in the case.

At this point no rapper is better equipped to talk white than Pusha T. He has updated a Melle Mel classic for the Cocaine Bear soundtrack.
As spotted on Hype Beast the Clipse member is back to doing what his fans love most. In support of the movie’s launch he has released “White Lines (Cocaine Bear Remix)”. In it he makes several clever references to the powdery substance that tie things back to Rap music but also films. “The dope boys go crazy, they know I get it out the jungle / I ain’t never been a runner, we ain’t never had to wonder / You heard the pilot lost the load, call that dumb and dumber”.
Cocaine Bear is a 2023 American comedy horror film directed and produced by Elizabeth Banks and written by Jimmy Warden. It is loosely inspired by the true story of the “Cocaine Bear”, an American black bear that ingested millions of dollars of lost cocaine in 1985. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta. The film marked the posthumous release for Liotta who died on May 26, 2022, with the film being dedicated to his memory.
