Kodak Black is wanted by the Florida police department after he allegedly violated his bail conditions by failing a drug test earlier this month, Media Take Out has confirmed.
According to multiple local reports, a judge signed off an arrest warrant in Kodak’s name earlier this week & it was filed on Friday in Broward County court. The documents say that if sheriff deputies locate Kodak, he is to be taken into custody immediately.
The judge explained, in the paperwork viewed by Media Take Out, that on Feb. 3rd, Kodak was supposed to report for a random drug test yet he was a no call/no show for the screening and failed to submit a sample that day. The judge added that on Feb. 8th, Black did submit a sample – and unfortunately it came up dirty.
Kodak is now considered a fugitive from justice. If he’s caught, authorities are ordered to hold him without bond until his next hearing in this case.
Kodak gained initial recognition with his single “No Flockin”, released in 2014. His debut album, Painting Pictures (2017), peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and included the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 single “Tunnel Vision”. Black’s second album, Dying to Live (2018), peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was supported by the single “Zeze” (featuring Travis Scott and Offset), which peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100.
Kodak Black’s career has been marked by periods of mainstream success, as well as public controversies and legal issues. His legal troubles began in middle school and spiked significantly throughout the late 2010s. Black was accused of rape in 2016 and faced the charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in South Carolina. He was given a plea bargain in 2021 to the lesser offense of assault and battery and was sentenced to probation. In 2019, Black was arrested for making false statements to possess weapons and was sentenced to almost four years in federal prison; his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump in 2021. While incarcerated, he released his third studio album, Bill Israel (2020). His fourth studio album, Back for Everything followed in 2022, and contains the hit single “Super Gremlin” as a bonus track.
