Kodak Black returned to an all too familiar site for him this week: the courtroom.
The Sun Sentinel reports that the Pompano Beach rhymer appeared in court on Wednesday (April 19) for a hearing held to determine whether or not he violated the terms of his house arrest.
In addition to proving that he violated his house arrest, prosecutors are also seeking to show that Kodak assaulted a bartender during an unauthorized trip to a Florida strip club.
The bartender, who took the stand during the rapper’s hearing inside a Fort Lauderdale courtroom, says Kodak swung at her and kicked her in the shoulder when she asked him to get down from a bar he was standing on top of.
On the contrary, a Florida Department of Corrections officer referred to the musician as “very polite” and “honest” when she took the stand. The officer, Sandra Friedman, did reveal that Kodak had failed the conditions of his house arrest, but is too young to appropriately “handle everything being thrown at him.”
“At 19, I don’t think he has a mentality yet to be able to handle everything being thrown at him at once,” Friedman said in court, according to the Sun Sentinel. “I think he needs some people who are looking out for his interests. He needs to deal with his problems and he definitely needs anger management … I think he needs to go into counseling immediately. I think he’s aware of what’s going to happen if he doesn’t.”
Prosecutors are seeking eight years in prison for Kodak if they’re able to prove that the assault on the bartender took place. And if they can only prove that he violated the terms of his house arrest, they’re asking for six years in prison.
Kodak will appear in court again on Friday (April 21) to continue with his hearing.
The Florida rhymer was given house arrest in August of last year as part of a plea deal, which was handed out after he was struck with a bounty of legal charges, including possession of a firearm by a delinquent.
Kodak was said to have violated the terms of his house arrest with visits to a handful of places, including a Miami strip club and a boxing match in Ohio. His lawyers have argued that his visits were work related.
Kodak is also out on bail over allegations that he sexually assaulted a fan in a hotel room in South Carolina. If found guilty in that case, he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years.
he dindu nuffin
KODAK WACK is tryin’ to catch up on ‘L’s with CHIEF F*CK-UP & weak meek tha RAT & ADRIEN BONEHEAD! Couldn’t f*ck up MORE if he tried! Destined to be in a prison cell rest of his ‘life’…. BUT ‘he’s better than 2PAC….GTFOH! #DeathToMumbleBumbleFumbleStumbleRap
just another jackass trying to portray street cred, while tryin to cover up fact of liking dick in their ass and/scrote on their throat.
maybe he subconsciously even WANTS that eight years in prison? that would mean a whole lotta soap droppin in the showers
lol. spot on. hip pop for never!
Stay out of trouble, moron. Plain and simple.
You can tell he isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box. Check out his breakfast club interview for reference. Guy almost seems autistic – Not hating on him just facts. Rap is at a weird time where people will pay for his type of music. You have promoters throwing $60k a show at him. This is what you get.
damn son I raised you better than that.
This is what happens when you take a child and exploit him for the purpose harming millions of youth he is just part of the hidden agenda destroying inner city and now this child is about to lose his mind and once he cant be used for this minstrel show they got thousand more trying to get in
This child is 19 and should know the difference between right and wrong but for some reason he doesn’t. Even when he has an outline of do’s and dont’s while on probation, he still can’t do right. No defense for his stupidity.
After reading awhile back that Kodak willfully and gleefully video recorded his friends getting head from a prostitute, he should adjust to prison really quick since viewing a penis puts a smile on his face.
