Kodak Black has a perfectly reasonable explanation for his recent arrest — GPS. According to TMZ, the Pompano Beach native says his navigation system led him into Canada where he was pulled over by border patrol and ultimately arrested for guns and marijuana.
He was attempting to drive from Detroit to Boston where he was expected to perform at The House Of Blues.
He reportedly entered the destination into his GPS, and it put him on the most direct route. Unknowingly, he was sent through Canada, New York and then onto Massachusetts. He evidently didn’t realize this until he was asked to present a passport.
During the search, authorities discovered a Glock 9mm pistol and weed in the Cadillac Escalade Kodak was driving. A Porsche traveling with Kodak’s team was also pulled over and searched. They found two loaded handguns and a third in the trunk along with more marijuana.
Kodak was released from Niagra County Jail on Wednesday (April 18) after posting a $20,000 bond. As he was leaving lockup, he shielded his face with stacks of cash.

Kodak Black failed to show up for a concert at Boston’s House Of Blues on Wednesday night (April 17) and now it’s clear why it was canceled last minute. According to The Blast, Niagara County Jail has confirmed the Pompano Beach native was in custody on a $20,000-$40,000 cash bond on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Kodak was arrested while crossing the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge, which crosses the Niagara River and serves as an international bridge between the United States and Canada.
Border officials stopped the Cadillac Escalade Kodak was driving and discovered marijuana and a Glock 9mm pistol. Nobody in the vehicle had declared the gun so they were all charged with it.
Another man in Kodak’s entourage named Jeantony Saintmelus was driving a Porsche, which was also pulled over. Authorities found two loaded handguns, a third one in the trunk and more marijuana.
After two hours of waiting, House Of Blues finally pulled the plug on the show, however Kodak’s fans weren’t told why. As a result, the Boston Police Department were forced to issue a notice to stay clear of the area due to the crowd getting “out of control.”
TMZ reports Kodak has been released from custody after posting a $20,000 bond.
i bet the police who pulled him over told all his cop buddies “yo dude, i just arrested kodak black, let’s gooo” headahh
“finna get this pay roll” lmaoo
The cops don’t know who Kodak Black is. They just saw an ugly ass mofo in a fancy car so they knew he was up to no good.
T.I probably made an anonymous crimestoppers call to say Kodak is coming back from Canada, check dude
Or just maybe they spotted a sketchy looking midget driving a Cadillac and they performed a standard border search. Only a fool would try to cross the border with weapons and drugs. Nobody had to snitch on this bozo he did it to himself.
t.i. must’ve fucked your mom. he got you all mad.
Weed is legal in Canada, trying to bring it across the US border not so much
No one cares about Kodak black. Why u driving around with guns in Canada? No one hurts people in canada
Do some research. Lots of murders in the Greater Toronto Area.
Dude wat u talking bout jus seen someone getting shanked then the day after seen some next lvl shit going down
you care though, you posted haha
Weeds legal in Canada, this guy is dumber than I thought, why try bringing it across when you can buy it here at a store? This dude is straight up the product of a crack smoking while pregnant.
he was leaving canada to enter to US for his show in boston
Kodak has no friends. If he did, one of them would’ve took that charge so he can leave, do the show, and secure that bag. All those leeches dont realize cause of him, they even get to see Canada and possibly the world.
Couldn’t they just leave Kodak wack in canada.
This n*gga is one of the dumbest rappers alive and on top of that Can’t do any shows in LA no more What a f*cking chump
LOL LA aint doing shit. just like Tekashi went there and clowned YG and them gangsters who said he couldnt go there
wait wait wait so you mean to tell me Kodak does not know geography? What settings does he have his GPS on? Avoid tolls, highways, byways, backroads, no roads, rivers, streams basically avoid everything and take the longest possible route. He probably had the setting on walking that’s why it took him so long.
maybe it was the shortest route from where he began. i know the shortest route across canada involve going through the USA
Kodak looks like if I smacked him upside his head, it would start snowing dandruff..
So i seen this guy with his attorney explain to me why dont wealthy african americans support other african american lawyers by allowing them to defend them? Is it a confidence issue?
It’s a quality issue. Johnny Cochran was one of the greatest and most expensive lawyers ever. Until Karma gave him brain cancer. Your point is mute.people with money hire the best lawyers with the best track records. How many defendants they got off, etc.
But how will they get the oportunity to get big name people off and get that reputation if not given the oportunity?see johnny cochran was given an oportunity and he seized it and became known so why not others? I always hear support black this support black that but those same people who preach that shit cant even support a black man who worked his ass off to pay for 6-8 years of college which is a signifigant accomplishment for many black men considering how rough alot of black men can have it in the inner cities of the u.s also a mountain of debt that he could use help with im also aware its their freedom or financial well being possibly being defended but what life is a black man cursed to live without oportunities? so im just curious i guess
i think that guy was his bail bondsman he didnt look like a lawyer. but most rappers got j3wish lawyers
Is it a badge of honor to be ignorant if you’re a Florida rapper?
Wait a minute. You mean to tell me a black man in America has an EXCUSE for his criminal behavior, other then simply saying “they got me?” I’m shocked. It has to be systematic racism, or some form of whitey. Sarcasm. BLM yo.
I like the hustle…getting their with no tour bus
