Kodak Black just can’t seem to stay free enough to consistently enjoy rap stardom, and his career is in jeopardy once again. The 19-year-old rapper from Pompano Beach, Florida, who was born Dieuson Octave, was found guilty Wednesday (April 26) of parole violations stemming from a trip to a Miami-Dade strip club, a boxing match in Ohio and other unauthorized rendezvous that proved to be more trouble than they were worth.
The Sun-Sentinel reports that Judge Thomas M. Lynch made the ruling that will inevitably be handed down come May 4 when the “Lockjaw” creator is sentenced. The state of Florida is pushing for the maximum eight-year sentence while his legal team wants him to be released. This latest saga in the teenage rapper’s life publicly came to an apex earlier in the week when it was discovered his belching was the catalyst for him being booted from an anger management class.
The nature of Kodak’s violated probation stemmed from his August 2016 trial where he was placed on one year’s house arrest, and given five years probation, community service and anger management classes over armed robbery and false imprisonment charges.
In the case of the February 2017 strip club incident, a Miami-Dade police detective took the stand to reveal that a bartender at Club Lexx alleged that Kodak assaulted her. The officer also admitted there was credible video footage of Kodak and the accuser hugging. The former manager of the club, Baljit Singh, contradicted the accuser’s testimony, saying, “Nothing happened. I was like, ‘This is ridiculous.’” Kodak was found not guilty of battery.
Kodak’s attorneys, Gary Kollin and Allan Stephen Zamren, had argued that their rapper client was actually conducting rapper business during the visits to the strip club and the boxing match, while other defense witnesses claim they made honest attempts to let his probation officer know of his whereabouts.
The latest string of arrest drama has stunted Kodak’s major label debut, Painting Pictures, which has since fallen to No. 13 on the Billboard 200 Charts after a No. 3 debut back in March.
It hasn’t been a promising day for #FreeRapper campaigns. Elsewhere in Cook County, IL, Kevin Gates is mentally preparing for a 30-month sentence stemming from an illegal weapons charge.
Just heard Kodack on the radio he was exquisite Holla
All these trap rappers taking Ls left and right going to jail n shit while Cole, Kendrick, Chance, Joey and others are getting play, sales and accolades. It’s like balance is being restored to the rap force.

Damn, how hard is it to not violate your probation? Seems like anyone that’s on probation always does something stupid and finds themselves back in hot water again. Just do what you’re supposed to do and you’ll be a free man again.

Black rappers really dumb as donkey shit.
At least Kodak Black and Kevin Gates keep it real, they got that street cred… while you suburban kids never go to prison… bitches! skrrt
Kodak black is in prison. Why are you on the internet. U got no street cred yourself. Go to prison lame ass.
If you know you can’t go anywhere without permission and you still do it, you deserve to be locked up. Another moron ruining his life because he wanted a lap dance. Please fuck off and never drop another track. Thank you.
Kodak is cool and commits crimes. Be like kodak kill whiteys. Bet hhdx will allow this and not my positive comment.
I’m not even close to being a fan of Kodak, but this is bullshit.
I’ve never seen a clearer case of someone being railroaded into prison off their personna.
Free kodak Black
Rather you than me Kodak! lol the law bout to put your baby ass on time out….fucking clown ass rappers
FREE KODAK thats my mf babe
Yes, free Kodak because some random bitch named savannah. called him his “mf babe” and just ignore all the counts of sexual assault, weapon possession, robbery or whatever the fuck else he’s done that got him arrested in the first place. Sounds legit.
I would hope it aint grown men jammin this boys music. I dont even understand how the youngins fuck with this shit to be honest but it is wht it is. This latest generation is all about fuck shit it seems
Cause it’s about the message my homie Kodak is spreading. He grew up rough and it shows in his music, you can hear rappers from these tore up areas breaking out of their cage through rap. It’s expressive and liked by millions so…
All them crosses on his face and hes probably one of the most ungodly people. Total contradiction..
Kodak WACK is DUMBER than a Box of Rocks, & might as well SIT DOWN for 8 years & GROW UP! otherwise this FOOL is gonna tie up the Courts going IN & OUT every week……… #FCKmumbleFumbleBumbleStumbleCrumbleRap!
