Kodak Black har gripits igen

Den amerikanske rapparen Kodak Black har gripits för narkotikainnehav, rapporterar Deadline. Han misstänks även för att ha manipulerat bevis och för ett trafikbrott.

Rapparen, vars riktiga namn är Bill Kapri, har tidigare kommit i klammeri med rättvisan. Han fick stor uppmärksamhet när han 2021 benådades av dåvarande president Donald Trump, vilket gjorde att han kunde släppas i förtid från ett treårigt fängelsestraff.

Bill Kahan Kapri (born Dieuson Octave; June 11, 1997), known professionally as Kodak Black, is an American rapper. He gained initial recognition following the release of his 2014 song "No Flockin". Atlantic Records then re-released "No Flockin" as his debut single the following year, where it marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. A 2017 follow-up single, "Tunnel Vision" would reach further success at number six on the Hot 100, preceding his debut album, Painting Pictures (2017). The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, and saw continued mainstream success with its follow up, Dying to Live (2018), as it peaked at number one on the chart. Dying to Live was led by the single "Zeze" (featuring Travis Scott and Offset), which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Kodak Black's career has been marked by periods of mainstream success, as well as public controversies and legal issues. His legal troubles began in middle school and spiked crucially throughout the late 2010s. Black was accused of rape in 2016 and faced the charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in South Carolina. He was given a plea bargain in 2021 to the lesser offense of assault and battery and was sentenced to probation. In 2019, Black was arrested for making false statements to possess weapons and was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison; his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump in 2021. While incarcerated, he released his third studio album Bill Israel (2020), which saw less promotion and commercial orientation. His fourth studio album, Back for Everything (2022) marked a resurgence as it was preceded by the single "Super Gremlin", which peaked at number three on Billboard Hot 100. His fifth and sixth albums, Pistolz & Pearlz and When I Was Dead (both 2023) followed thereafter.
