The “Super Gremlin” rapper was arrested on drug trafficking and possession charges in Fort Lauderdale, Florida earlier this month after police discovered 31 Oxycodone pills and over $50,000 in cash in his vehicle during a traffic stop.
The 25-year-old was released from Broward County jail the following day after posting a $75,000 bond and later placed on house arrest. He also agreed to a $225,000 surety bond, along with submitting drug tests, wearing a GPS ankle monitor and remaining at home unless for medical reasons, court appearances or employment.

Kodak Black’s “Zombie” collaborator NLE Choppa also bemoaned his recent arrest, accusing Broward County attorneys of being “corrupt” and “racist.”
“broward state attorneys corrupt and racist hopefully this new black dude in office Change Shit around!” he tweeted, referencing Harold Pryor’s 2020 appointment as the county’s first Black State Attorney. “I got locked up in broward so I know firsthand.”
Choppa was arrested in Davie, Florida on burglary, weapons and drug charges in March 2021. He was released on a $4,500 bond and later claimed he was “setup” by police, accusing them of “planting” drugs on him.
