Kodak Black<\/a> has been arrested in Florida<\/a> on a drug trafficking charge.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old rapper was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department on Wednesday (May 6) and hit with a first-degree felony charge for allegedly trafficking methamphetamine (MDMA), arrest records show. Complex has reached out to his attorney, Bradford Cohen, for comment, as well as to the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Cohen told TMZ<\/a> that Kodak\u2019s arrest on Wednesday is connected to a November 2025 case involving the search of a vehicle with one passenger who wasn\u2019t the rapper. Police reportedly found a bag containing a bottle of prescription cough syrup, which authorities alleged had Kodak\u2019s fingerprint on it. Cohen said the trafficking charge has a \u201cweak legal basis,\u201d and \u201cshould have never been filed.\u201d<\/p>\n

That report, as well as separate reporting from<\/a> Loren LoRosa, indicate that Kodak voluntarily turned himself into police.<\/p>\n
