After he was found guilty of violating his probation earlier this week, Kodak Black could be facing up to eight years in prison, but his lawyer, Raven Ramona Liberty, says she does not expect that to be her client’s sentence.
Speaking with Bossip, Liberty explained that there are several sentencing options with the prison term being the most severe. She believes the 19-year-old Florida rapper will receive something along the lines of his probation being extended or reinstated. The attorney also highlights that Kodak Black’s own probation officer has not recommended a prison term. Instead, it has been suggested that he continues anger management classes, which he was kicked out of recently for being disruptive and gassy.
Project Baby is scheduled to tour with Future and Migos on the Nobody’s Safe Tour, which starts May 4. As of now, he is in jail until his next hearing that day.
“I have the utmost faith in God that he will be out on the fourth and will start the tour,” Liberty said, noting Kodak Black’s age. “Fortunately he has the money to pay for attorneys. But this happens all the time to young men in his situation. I don’t think sitting in jail is the correct punishment.”
The “Tunnel Vision” rapper violated his probation by going to a Miami strip club and attending a boxing match in Ohio. He was facing assault charges brought against him by a bartender at the club, but he was acquitted.
Kodak Black’s debut album, Painting Pictures, was released while he was in jail. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
He is also facing charges for criminal sexual conduct in South Carolina and is out on $100,000 bond in that case.
oh yeah? the lawyer doing an interview with bossip?? okay….
snitchin cuts sentence
nah he cant snitch .
He needs a reality check and he should do time. There can be excuses that maybe he doesn’t know any better or maybe he wasn’t raised properly, but I know guys I grew up with that came from shit. Single mother home, neglected, and exposed to substance abuse and they still made something of their life. Still able to act as a mature kid to an adult. This Kodak guy is trash and he has no intention of bettering himself.
THIS DIRTY HAITIAN!!!!
Sending Kodak to prison would not be the right decision, He needs someone who can show him the right way, advise him and really care about him. Remember that behaviour is learnt and if you are not exposed to the socially accepted behaviour you will not have those boundaries. Kodak has always been exposed to the harsh realities of life, maybe his family could have taught him to have greater empathy – but environment is a big influence and being a young black man in a racist society means that he has witnessed and been subjected to some of the worst prejudices. He obviously has a talent and putying him in prison could possibly ruin the life chances he has.
on some real shitt
Is this positive?
