Kodak Black arrested in Florida over fleeing police

Kodak Black has been arrested for the second time in eight days.

The Florida rapper has been charged with fleeing/eluding law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence.

According to TMZ, Kodak was taken into custody at the Broward County jail on May 14th, with his bond set at $0.

The news comes shortly after he was detained at the Orange County Corrections Department on May 6th on drug trafficking charges.

In a statement, Kodak’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, said, “This is a self-surrender from yet another ‘investigation’ that just happened to also take five months to ‘investigate’ for allegedly fleeing and eluding.”

He continued, “It’s not unexpected, as this is usually the procedure we go through where there is an unfounded weak arrest and then followed up by yet another arrest for cases that allegedly take five or six months to investigate. At this point, I think everyone agrees that Kodak is consistently being targeted.”

In his arrest earlier this month, Kodak was accused of trafficking MDMA. Cohen claimed it was a coordinated surrender related to a November 2025 incident, allegedly involving a police officer searching a vehicle with one passenger who wasn’t Kodak.

Officers found a bag containing various items, including a bottle of prescription cough syrup with the rapper’s fingerprints on it. Cohen stated that Kodak planned to fight the trafficking charge, alleging that it has a “weak legal basis.”

In a statement, he said, “We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed.”

Kodak released his last album, Just Getting Started, in October 2025, with features from Pharrell, Chance The Rapper, Gunna, Lil Yachty, Don Toliver, and more.
