Kodak Black felony charge dismissal and drug trafficking charges dismissed
A Broward County judge dismissed a felony charge against rapper Kodak Black regarding an alleged attempt to flee from law enforcement during a February 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach. The defense argued the encounter was not a lawful stop, noting that the deputy did not use lights or sirens, failed to request documentation, and did not inform the artist he was being detained. Defense attorney Bradford Cohen stated that body camera footage showed the rapper driving away at a normal speed following what appeared to be a “concluded consensual encounter.” Judge Corey B. Friedman granted the motion to dismiss, and the dismissal was granted dismiss with prejudice, prejudice on September 8, meaning the case cannot be refiled. While this specific charge is resolved, Kodak Black remains involved in Prosecutors did not oppose the motion. In a subsequent legal development, prosecutors declined to pursue a separate drug trafficking case against the rapper. This case stemmed from a November 2025 incident in Florida. Orlando, where police reported finding a bag containing MDMA and $37,000 in cash. However, prosecutors filed a notice stating the case was “insufficient to prove possession of contraband” due to a lack of evidence.
