The lawyer representing Kodak Black has claimed that the rapper is being targeted by law enforcement.

The Florida rapper (real name Bill Kapri) was arrested last week, marking his second arrest in just eight days.

Kodak was taken into custody at the Broward County jail on May 14th and charged with fleeing/eluding law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence.

Following the incident, his attorney, Bradford Cohen, released a statement providing more details about the arrest.

“This is from a case stemming from an incident over 5 months ago,” he began. “Mr Kapri self-surrendered on the matter yesterday and will get a bond today, May 15th, 2026. This seems to be an ongoing theme that the arresting agencies decide to ‘investigate’ simple incidents for months and then issue a warrant half a year later, coincidentally at the same time another agency issues a warrant from a 6-month-old case. It is another example of how law enforcement has targeted Mr Kapri in a constant charging of cases, that ultimately get dismissed, downgraded or thrown out by a court of law.”

He continued, “Last year, he was accused of having a dirty urine sample, it turned out to be the wrong sample; in another case he was accused of having illicit drugs, when it was tested they tested as aspirin; yet another case he was accused of having illegal drugs, that allegedly tested positive on scene. When tested by a lab it turned out to be his prescribed medication.”

Cohen went on to say, “The fact that the Judge rejected the argument of the State Attorneys Office who was seeking an electronic monitor, 50k bond and no driving on a misdemeanour and 3rd degree felony, speaks volumes. The bond increase was denied, and the judge set the bond at $3500.00.”

Kodak was previously arrested on drug trafficking charges on May 6th and detained at the Orange County Corrections Department.

He was accused of trafficking MDMA, with Cohen claiming his arrest was a coordinated surrender relating to a November 2025 incident.
