ORANGE COUNTY, Florida (WESH) — Florida rapper Kodak Black was booked into the Orange County Jail on Wednesday.
Booking records show that the 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was arrested on a drug trafficking charge.
According to a five-page affidavit, the incident began outside the Children’s Safety Village, a nonprofit for kids in Orlando, back in November. Orlando police were called to the location after reports of gunfire.
When officers arrived, they found a BMW and a Lamborghini parked outside. Detecting the smell of marijuana, they began searching the vehicles.
During the search, Kapri approached the officers.
Authorities said they discovered a pink pair of scissors on the floorboard of one of the cars, which matched a pair of scissors seen in a photo on the rapper’s Instagram a week earlier.
They also found rings in the car that matched items seen on his Instagram.
Eventually, the search uncovered drugs inside the vehicle.
WESH 2 was there Thursday evening as Kapri was released from jail after posting $75,000 bond.
This is not the first time Kapri has been placed behind bars.
In 2023, he was arrested in South Florida and booked into the Broward County Jail on charges of cocaine possession, tampering with evidence and violating probation.
The previous year, in 2022, he faced arrest for trafficking oxycodone and possessing a controlled substance without a prescription. He was also cited for driving with an expired driver’s license and registration tags.
