Bill Kapri, otherwise known as rapper Kodak Black was recently taken into custody on May 6th and booked at Orange County Jail on Wednesday May 7th in Florida. He was then charged with trafficking MDMA, more widely known as ecstasy or molly. The arrest goes all the way back to the incident in November of 2025, It happened in Orlando, when the police received a call about hearing gunshots and when they arrived they found a BMW and a Lamborghini. They searched one of the vehicles saying they smelled marijuana and recovered evidence of drugs. The evidence included $37,000 in cash, two pink bags that contained a total of 25.34 grams of MDMA, and a bottle of prescription cough syrup.
The drugs in the car tested positive as cocaine by officer Sean Murphy on scene at the time, later changing the statement turning into MDMA. At the time of this incident there was one person in the car who was later identified as not Kodak. Kodak’s attorney Bradford Cohen’s made a statement that “Kodak’s arrest was a coordinated surrender related to a November 2025 case in which a police officer searched a vehicle with one passenger who was NOT Kodak.” prosecutors and law enforcement now have to connect Kodak to the drugs and cash they found when they searched the car that isn’t even owned by Kodak Black directly.
Kodak later on arrived on the scene claiming that the bag wasn’t his. The reports of the case were released on May 7th 2026, confirming that the rapper Kodak Black surrendered to law enforcement in Florida which was connected to the previous investigation in Orlando. Kodak’s Attorney Bradford Cohen stated that his arrest was a planned surrender, Cohen also said that the charge had a weak legal basis and he also described the filing as a common theme when law enforcement arrests Kodak.
As Cohen’s final statement he said “We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed.” Law enforcement is using one photo from Kodak’s Instagram of him standing next to a pink bag that looks like the one law enforcement recovered at the scene to tie him to the case, and because of his previous convictions the judge set his bond at $50,000 and later raised his bond to $75,000 due to his 12 previous convictions 2 misdemeanors and 1failure to appear.
