Kodak Black reportedly found himself in trouble in prison.

It has undoubtedly been a rough year for Kodak Black. One that will take some serious time and effort to recuperate from. The rapper's legal troubles have piled up and now, he's behind bars as he awaits his sentencing for a gun charge. The rapper's attempted to get out on bond, although that was shut down.

Unlike his previous stint behind bars, it doesn't look like things are going as smoothly this time around. According to Miami's Local 10 outlet, Kodak Black was involved in a prison fight on Thursday night in Miami. Two inmates got into a scrap in the prison but it's unclear if Kodak Black was one of them. The details surrounding the situation are pretty unclear right now so it's hard to determine the capacity of Kodak's involvement.

The prison scrap ended up resulting in the injury of a prison guard. The guard was taken to the hospital but again, the details on the injury haven't been released.

Kodak Black pleaded guilty to firearms charges earlier this year. The rapper was arrested ahead of his performance at Rolling Loud Miami in May on federal firearms charges. The rapper did take a deal in the case, changing his plea for "not guilty" to guilty." He's currently awaiting his sentencing which is set to take place on November 13th. He's currently facing eight years in prison.
