Why Was The Rapper Arrested?
Plantation authorities found the rapper in his Bentley vehicle earlier this week. The rapper’s car was blocking a road at the time, and his taillights were on. When the officer approached the vehicle, they found the rapper asleep with the window halfway down. Additionally, they noticed the smell of “burnt weed” and a cup of alcohol, per XXL.
The officer reportedly ran the rapper’s driver’s license information and observed white powder “falling from the rapper.” It was then determined that the substance was coming from Black’s mouth. The rapper was arrested and booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with possession of cocaine, tampering with evidence, and an “improper stop/stand/park/.”
At the time, it was reported that the rapper’s bail would be revealed after a bond hearing. Additionally, it was reported that Black would appear in court on Thursday, December 7.
