Kodak Black Avoids Jail, Must Enter Drug Program After Begging Judge

Authorities said the warrant was issued last week after the 25-year-old rapper failed to submit a random drug test and alcohol testing on Feb. 3.

Kodak violated the conditions of his pretrial release related to an oxycodone trafficking charge, according to the Broward County Clerk of Courts.

On Feb. 8, he took a drug and alcohol test, which revealed traces of fentanyl. He was then issued the warrant by the judge.

Kodak’s attorney questioned the urine test, telling Judge Barbara Duffy that the rapper and another person had submitted a sample of their urine at the same time and said the samples could’ve been mixed up, reports NBC News.

Kodak also told the judge ‘Whatever I need to do, cry, beg, I’ll do it. But there’s so much about this situation that isn’t right,” he told Judge Duffy. I don’t know why people be so hungry to send me to jail.”

The judge then said that she would allow Kodak to attend a 30-day drug treatment program, which will begin next week after he performs at the Rolling Loud music festival in California, according to the news outlet.

Black was arrested in July of 2022 after he was pulled over by Florida Highway Patrol troopers pulled him over and discovered 31 oxycodone pills and $74,960 in. He was also driving with an expired driver’s license and tags.
