Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested on charges of trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, according to court documents.
Black, a 25-year-old Miramar resident and Pompano Beach native whose name is Bill Kapri, was stopped by Florida Highway Patrol on Friday evening for illegal window tint and expired tags.
Troopers smelled marijuana when Black opened the door of his bulletproof SUV and a subsequent search turned up Oxycodone pills and more than $50,000 in cash, the report said.
He is now being held at Broward Main Jail, reports Sun Sentinel.
Black’s arrest comes a week before his anticipated performance at Rolling Loud, a highly-regarded national hip-hop festival at Hard Rock Stadium.
It was the second time this year that Black would have a problem with law enforcement.
He was arrested on New Year’s Day morning in Pompano Beach for trespassing.
He served about a year and a half of a federal sentence for falsifying information used to buy guns from a Miami gun shop.
Donald Trump commuted his sentence on the last day of his presidency.
In May 2019, Black was arrested on a weapons charge before he was about to perform at Rolling Loud.
