Kodak Black Freed: MDMA Charges Dropped in Orlando
12 Sep
Summary
- Orange County prosecutors declined to pursue MDMA trafficking charges against Kodak Black.
- The decision came due to insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.
- Records will be cleared, and any bond released for the rapper.
Rapper Kodak Black, legally known as Bill Kapri, will not face prosecution for a first-degree felony MDMA trafficking charge in Orlando. The Orange County State Attorney's Office officially declined to pursue the case, citing insufficient evidence. This development means that all related records are set to be cleared, and any bond posted for Kodak Black will be released. If he was in custody, he is to be freed, provided no other outstanding charges or holds exist.
The rapper was booked into the Orange County Corrections Department on May 6, 2026, facing the trafficking count, which involved between 10 to 200 grams of MDMA. The investigation traced back to a November 2025 incident where police recovered a pink bag containing MDMA and $37,000 in cash. Despite paperwork bearing his name being found, Kodak Black denied ownership of the bag, though he requested the return of the money, stating it belonged to his business.
His legal team, including attorneys Bradford Cohen and David Bigney, expressed gratitude for the prosecutor's decision, emphasizing that the arrest should not have occurred. They highlighted that their case law arguments were considered, leading to the dismissal of all charges. This legal victory follows another recent win for Kodak Black, where a Broward County judge dismissed a felony fleeing and eluding charge against him.
