Kodak Black was reportedly sentenced to three years and eight months in federal prison on Wednesday (November 13), far less than the 10-year maximum he was facing.
According to the Miami Herald, U.S. District Court Judge Federico Moreno sentenced the Pompano Beach native for lying about his criminal record while purchasing or attempting to purchase six pistols on two different occasions at Lou’s Police and Security Equipment in Hialeah.
“Young people do stupid things,” Moreno told Kodak. “But the problem is that you’ve been doing stupid things since you were 15.”
While speaking to Moreno before he handed down the sentence, Kodak apologized, “I’m sorry for the actions that led me for where I’m standing. I do take full responsibility for my mishap.”
During the hearing, prosecutors confirmed Kodak was involved in a violent prison fight, although it wasn’t a factor in the judge’s sentencing.
“Kapri displayed disruptive behavior,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Brown said. “He was involved in a fight on October 29 with another inmate.” As a result, a corrections officer had to spray mace on both inmates involved in the altercation.
Prosecutors said Kodak was “visibly under the influence of an unknown substance” when he attacked the officer. The beating was reportedly so severe, the guard ended up in the hospital with a hernia.
Kodak’s lawyers, however, insisted he was drugged and instigated into the altercation by a gang member.
The 22-year-old rapper still has other pending criminal cases, including the alleged sexual assault of a high school female from Florence, South Carolina.
“This is going to be the longest sentence that he’s going to get in his career, hopefully his life,” Kodak’s defense attorney Brad Cohen said.
In the meantime, prosecutors plan to bring the prison fight to a grand jury.
Kodak was arrested on May 11, shortly before went he took the Rolling Loud Miami music festival stage. The Grammy-nominated artist released his latest project, Dying To Live, last December, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and marked his first chart-topping album.
If you want a long-lasting career in rap, you gotta stay outta trouble. That’s three years of opportunity lost to make more & easy money doing what you’re so-called “good” at.
WTF…He must be sucking the Judge’s balls under the desk or something. Three years. I know niggaz doing 15 for the same thing…. that’s BS.
You know broke niggas doing 15 for that same thing…when you gonna learn, money talks
But you’re ok with Kodak sucking balls tho lol…da fuck wrong wit y’all
Damn, give him life, I don’t want to hear his wack music any time soon. Three years ain’t enough.
I already reported this an hour before this story dropped. This lame site needs to stop censoring my posts and infringing on my rights to free speech by deleting my comments. Then they go ahead and whip up the article. haha you busters
But TI got a year?
well ya he told..
Not even a fan of TI but not sure what y’all talking about?! TI didn’t tell, he went to jail because he was snitched on! The dude delivering the guns to him got caught on the way and was told that they’ll let him walk away if he completes the delivery while they monitor him so they can arrest the person receiving the guns which in this case was TI. Get your facts straight.
Yeah, sentencing for different cases with different variables leads to different outcomes. I know that’s a hard idea to wrap your head around when your an idiot.
and his career is a wrap
the internet gone keep him alive like they did bobby shmurda
Bobby who?
Welp it was fun looking at his ugly face and hearing his weak bars while it lasted. This plus the prison fight and the pending sexual allegations, seems like it’s over for this guy.
Good fucking riddance, another cancer to rap and hip hop culture out the way
This guy is named after a Cardi B song
You joking right……you do know Cardi B named her song after him because her song was a remake of his?
The fact you know that is not a good thing… Stop making shitty music famous!
Tonight on…When keeping it real goes wrong…
I HATE TO SEE ANYONE OF COLOR GO TO PRISON. HOWEVER THIS YOUNG MAN NEEDS TO GO TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED AND INTRODUCED TO BODYWASH AND SHAMPOO.
The self destruction is strong in this one smh….see what talking reckless about the dead gets u? … This nigga got enemies on the spiritual realm… Some Mfs don’t learn that fire burns until they are engulfed in the flames, just sticking their hands in the fire isn’t enuff for them, they gotta throw their whole soul into the inferno… You are witnessing a dude going into deeper levels of mental hell.. Jail is usually one of the symptoms
The laws of physics work differently in the Bermuda Triangle, because of a disturbance in the time-space continuum. The objects that disappeared reappear in the future, in the past, in another part of the world or, alternately, can be found floating around the universe.
The beating was so bad the cop ended up in the hospital with a hernia? Most these fuckin fat 280+ lbs police officers even bend over too quickly they give themselfs hernias so he got pushed down? Oooooo
Hahahahaha do it to yourself!!!
