Florida rapper Kodak Black has found himself back in police custody after being arrested in central Florida on a felony drug trafficking charge.

The 28-year-old artist, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department late Wednesday night. According to official jail records, Kapri is facing a charge of trafficking in MDMA and is currently being held without bond.

The arrest reportedly stems from a November 2025 investigation. According to details shared by his legal representation, the incident began when police officers approached two parked vehicles that smelled of marijuana. While Kapri was in the vicinity, his lawyer states he was not inside either vehicle at the time of the search.

During the search, officers discovered a bag next to a passenger in one of the cars. The bag contained Kapri's identification card and a bottle of prescription cough syrup. Authorities allege that fingerprints found on the bottle matched the rapper.

Bradford Cohen, the attorney representing Kapri, has publicly criticized the arrest, arguing that the trafficking charge has a "weak legal basis." Cohen contends that while possessing the prescription bottle without authorization is illegal, merely touching it is not, especially given that his client was not inside the vehicle when it was discovered.

"We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed," Cohen told media outlets Thursday morning.

The rapper, known for his breakout 2018 album "Dying to Live" and hits like "Super Gremlin," has a lengthy history of legal troubles, including previous arrests for drug and weapons possession. In 2021, his federal prison sentence for a firearms charge was famously commuted by then-President Donald Trump.

Kapri's legal team has indicated they plan to aggressively fight the new trafficking charge and are working to secure a bond hearing before the weekend.
