ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2013 No charges were filed against rapper Kodak Black after he was booked into the Orange County Jail earlier this year<\/a>, according to court records obtained by News 6.<\/p>\n

Black \u2014 whose real name is Bill Kapri, 28 \u2014 was arrested back in May, when deputies said he was taken into custody on a charge of trafficking in MDMA.<\/p>\n

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, the arrest stems from an incident in November 2025 at the Children\u2019s Safety Village on Fairvilla Road. <\/p>\n

Police said they were investigating calls about gunshots and found two vehicles there. After smelling freshly burnt cannabis, the officer searched the vehicles, finding a pink bag that contained what appeared to be MDMA. <\/p>\n

The affidavit shows the bag is the same one seen on Kapri\u2019s Instagram account, along with other paraphernalia, like a pair of scissors and a lighter.<\/p>\n

Police said testing by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed the substance in the pink bag was MDMA, and was considered to be a trafficking amount. That report came back on April 17, 2026.<\/p>\n

But on Friday, a no information notice was filed in Kapri\u2019s case, indicating that prosecutors opted not to formally file any charges against the rapper.<\/p>\n

That ntoice claims that the evidence in the case was \u201cinsufficient to prove possession of contraband.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kapri has faced previous legal issues<\/p>\n

In 2023, police in Plantation arrested Kapri<\/a> after finding him asleep at the wheel with white powder around his mouth, officials said. Although authorities said the powder initially tested positive for cocaine, a lab test later revealed it was oxycodone, for which Kapri obtained a prescription.<\/p>\n

The arrest was a violation of his probation from an unrelated case, which led to him being locked up in Miami for two months.<\/p>\n

Kapri was also arrested<\/a> in 2022 on charges of trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. He was freed on bond with regular drug testing as a condition of his release. Kapri was ordered into drug rehab<\/a> for 30 days in 2023 after missing a drug test and then testing positive for fentanyl several days later, according to court records. <\/p>\n

In January 2021, then-President Donald Trump commuted a three-year federal prison<\/a> sentence the rapper had for falsifying documents used to buy weapons. Kapri had served about half his sentence.<\/p>\n

As Kodak Black, Kapri has sold more than 30 million singles, with massive hits such as \u201cSuper Gremlin,\u201d which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2022.<\/p>\n
