A first-degree felony drug case against Kodak Black is over before prosecutors ever filed formal charges. The Orange County State Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the Florida rapper over an MDMA trafficking allegation that led to his arrest in May, citing insufficient evidence that he possessed the drugs at the center of the case.
According to Complex, prosecutors filed a No Information Notice on Friday, Sept. 11. Court records reviewed by WFTV state there was not enough evidence to establish that Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, possessed the contraband.
The case stemmed from a November 2025 encounter in Orlando. Police responded to reports of gunfire and searched several vehicles in the area, including a Lamborghini SUV associated with Kodak. Officers said they found a pink bag containing 25.34 grams of MDMA, approximately $37,000 in cash, and paperwork bearing his name. The amount of MDMA was above Florida’s threshold for the trafficking charge he later faced.
Kodak denied that the bag belonged to him but told investigators the cash inside was his and was connected to his business. He was not arrested that night. Authorities continued investigating before taking him into custody on May 6, 2026. Kodak pleaded not guilty and was released after posting bond.

Kodak Black’s Attorney Says The Arrest Should Never Have Happened
Attorney Bradford Cohen welcomed the state’s decision and argued that the evidence never supported charging his client. “Myself and my co counsel David Bigney are grateful that we had a state attorney who read our case law and made the right decision to drop all charges,” Cohen told Complex. “As I said from the beginning, this was an arrest that should not have happened.”
The decision follows another legal win for Kodak in Florida. Days earlier, a Broward County judge dismissed a separate felony charge of fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement with prejudice, meaning prosecutors cannot refile that case. That charge came from a February traffic stop in which deputies alleged Kodak drove away despite being ordered to remain at the scene.
Cohen celebrated that dismissal as well, writing on Instagram, “They asked me what would happen if you lose? I guess we will never know.”
