ORLANDO, Fla. — South Florida rapper Kodak Black was arrested Wednesday in central Florida on a drug trafficking charge, stemming from a 2025 investigation.
According to an arrest warrant prepared by an Orlando police officer, the rapper, whose real name is Bill Kapri, faces a felony charge of trafficking in MDMA.
The arrest stems from a November 2025 investigation by Orlando police after officers responded to reports of gunfire near Children’s Safety Village on Fairvilla Road in Orlando.
According to the warrant, officers arrived to find several people gathered around two vehicles, including a BMW SUV and a Lamborghini SUV.
Police said officers smelled burnt cannabis coming from the BMW and conducted a search of the vehicle, where they found cannabis and a pink pill that tested positive for MDMA. During the investigation, Kapri, 28, who is currently living in Fort Lauderdale, approached officers and watched the search, the warrant states.
Investigators later searched the Lamborghini SUV and reported finding suspected narcotics, cash and firearms inside the vehicle.
According to the warrant, officers discovered a pink bag containing a substance later identified by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as MDMA, along with about $37,000 in cash and documents bearing Kapri’s name.
The warrant states investigators also compared items found inside the vehicle, including a bag and lighter, to images posted on Kodak Black’s Instagram accounts.
Authorities said FDLE officials later confirmed the substance recovered from the bag was MDMA, weighing approximately 25 grams.
The rapper and others at the scene denied that the bag was theirs, however when he was informed that there was money in the bag, Kapri tried multiple times to have officers hand him the cash, saying it belonged to his business, the warrant stated.
Based on the investigation, Orlando police sought a warrant charging Kapri with trafficking in MDMA between 14 and 200 grams.
Kapri is expected to appear in court Thursday afternoon.
