Florida Rapper Kodak Black could be home soon as his lawyers seek to have drug charges dismissed after a test proved it wasn’t cocaine.
Kodak Black spent his holiday season behind bars after being arrested in December for cocaine possession and evidence tampering. This weekend on Instagram he promised long-time friend Lamar Jackson he would be home to see him hopefully win the Super Bowl.
At the time the comment made little sense due to his current incarceration and the Super Bowl rapidly approaching. According to XXL, Kodak might have been on to something as his lawyers have filed motions to have the drug charges dropped.
“This is an abuse of discretion to file a charge on an individual that has provided a valid prescription for the very item that as found,” Cohen told XXL in a statement. “All this after the officer misrepresented and said it was cocaine. Clearly it was not cocaine, nothing has happened to the officer who misrepresented the item, and my client was taken into custody due to his misrepresentation.”
Cohen continued,
“The fact that this case has not been dismissed by the Broward State Attorney’s Office shows that bias against Mr. Kapri. Anyone else would have had their case dismissed or they wouldn’t have filed.”
Since Kodak’s arrest, he has maintained his innocence claiming the drug was oxycodone which he has a prescription for. Recently he admitted to previously using meth but for some reason draws the line at cocaine. It seems he was telling the truth but either way he still has yet to be released. Hopefully, Kodak will be released soon to catch Lamar’s game. However, it seems the authorities are trying to keep him as long as they can.
At this time the reason for keeping him behind bars is unknown but trust soon enough they will reveal why.
