Kodak Black recently appeared in federal court in Miami on Tuesday, Dec. 19. He was there for probation violation accusations. At the hearing, his attorneys asked for his enrollment in a 90-day drug treatment program in Arizona.
The defense team argued that Black became dependent on Percocet and Oxycodone after being assaulted in a Kentucky prison in 2020. There was some opposition to this reasoning, given that the proposed program did not fall under their jurisdiction, and concerns were raised over the lack of control probation officers would have over Black’s actions.
The judge deferred the decision on the treatment program to the judge overseeing the rapper’s case. Despite the request for enrollment in a drug treatment program, Kodak Black will remain in federal custody.
He had been taken into custody for allegedly violating probation. The arrest happened after authorities found him passed out behind the wheel of his Bentley in Plantation on December 7, charged with cocaine possession and other offenses. According to the arrest report, the responding officer found Black’s mouth full of white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine.
Following his release from a Broward jail, Kodak Black was arrested by federal authorities due to the probation violation.
