Kodak Black Turns Himself in to Police on 2025 MDMA Drug Trafficking Charges in Florida

Kodak Black was arrested in Orange County, Florida, earlier this week, on suspicion of drug trafficking, according to a search of Orange County Inmate Records. The records show that authorities have accused the rapper, real name Bill Kahan Kapri, of trafficking an amount of MDMA greater than 10 grams in mass but less than 200 grams. The rapper, whose last known location was Fort Lauderdale, was booked on Wednesday and “presentenced.” His case will be considered in a circuit court.

The Orlando Police Department did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

Kapri’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells Rolling Stone that the arrest was a “coordinated surrender” related to an incident in November 2025 when police found “a bag containing several items, including a bottle of prescription cough syrup,” in a car they searched. Kapri was not in the car, but, Cohen says, the bottle “allegedly had Mr. Kapri’s fingerprint on it.” Cohen believes the case is “not sufficient to charge possession of the item,” at least legally.

“Instead of simple possession, they doubled down and filed it as a trafficking charge,” he says. “I will be fighting the charge. This is an ongoing theme where cases that would normally not be filed due to a weak legal basis are filed against Mr. Kapri. We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed.”

Police have previously arrested Kapri on multiple charges. He was convicted federally of two counts of making false statements on government forms and, on the state level, of first-degree assault and battery. The federal conviction found him sentenced to 46 months in prison, a sentence that was commuted after 10 months, and 18 months of probation on the state charges.

The 28-year-old last released his eighth and most recent album, Just Getting Started, in late 2025. It peaked at Number 77 on the Billboard 200.
