Kodak Black’s attorney has criticized the media coverage around the rapper following his release from jail.
Black was released from prison earlier this week after admitting to a probation violation though additional charges related to drug possession were dropped.

Yak, who appeared to get himself into trouble immediately after exiting jail after getting into a confrontation with local media, has found a defender in his attorney Bradford Cohen.
Cohen slammed the mainstream media on Instagram for focusing on negative stories about the rapper and not positive ones such as him donating money to the family of a slain police officer.

“I’m sure the mainstream won’t carry it. @tmz_tv will probably only run something negative,” he wrote. “But we know how @kodakblack moves and what he’s been doing since day one. It’s a shame when people only want negativity on someone.”
In a separate post, Cohen wrote: “In typically Kodak fashion, he just pledged to donate to the college fund of a 2-year-old and a 5 month old. Whose father was a Minnesota officer killed recently in the line of duty. Expecting his 2nd son this Friday, he knows how important family is and hopes it helps relieve some burden.”
Shortly after being released from jail, Kodak was seen throwing rocks at a camera operator and threatened to punch a broadcast journalist.
The reporter for Local 10 confirmed that a police report had been filed against the rapper for his actions outside the jail as the rocks injured the camera operator.

Kodak Black (real name Bill Kapri) had been in jail since December after he was arrested for oxycodone possession, evidence tampering and being improperly parked.
The drug possession charge was dismissed after prosecutors could not determine whether Kodak had a prescription for oxycodone, as he had previously claimed. Black had repeatedly claimed that the substance was not cocaine.
During an Instagram Live shortly after his arrest, Yak addressed his drug addictions but denied cocaine use.
Addressing his arrest, Yak said: “I was on the lean, homie. I was asleep in front of my family house, bro. That’s it. That ain’t illegal.”

He also denied taking cocaine, saying: “Come on, fam. Hell fuck no, bruh. Hell nah. And I ain’t finna say I’m against muthafuckas who do coke. Man, I ain’t on that shit.”
