Kodak Black

<p>Authorities just sentenced Syko Bob, signed to <a href="/profile/kodakblack" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kodak Black</a>&#8217;s Sniper Gang collective, to five years behind bars. Moreover, the Florida rapper (real name Cambrel Smart) pleaded guilty to a charge of gun possession back in December of 2022. While not many details surrounding this case came out, it followed a January 2022 <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/382132-kodak-blacks-right-hand-man-syko-bob-arrested-on-dui-drugs-and-weapons-charges-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traffic stop</a> at around 3:00 a.m. During this pull-over for speeding on I-75 in Collier County, Florida, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper found a bag of marijuana and a loaded gun.</p>



<p>Furthermore, <em>HipHopDX</em> discovered jail record copies showing alleged charges of a DUI, carrying a concealed gun, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, and possession of a weapon or ammo by a convicted felon. As of writing this article, Kodak Black has yet to respond to these developments on social media. However, given their <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/635076-kodak-black-syko-bob-connect-on-my-lil-sht" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">close collaboration</a>, hopefully the label boss is supporting his artist in any way possible through this tough time. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not the most dangerous headline Syko&#8217;s had to face.</p>

<p>To elaborate, Bob was one of a few targets of a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/362374-kodak-blacks-artist-syko-bob-targeted-in-florida-shooting-report-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">drive-by shooting</a> in April of 2021, which assumedly targeted them directly. According to reports from <em>The Sun Sentinel</em>, police claimed the 29-year-old and two other men drove around Lauderhill, Florida at the time of the attack. Then, a black BMW drove close by and shot at the group. Car crashes ensued as both vehicles tried to move quickly, with someone in Syko&#8217;s car allegedly shooting back. What&#8217;s more is that the vehicles disappeared by the time police responded, and so they went to see the three victims in the hospital, who were rushed there by bystanders.</p>



<p>According to Lt. Michael Santiago, Syko and his crew &#8220;refused to cooperate with the investigation and provided no details on the events.&#8221; The <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/358975-kodak-blacks-sniper-gang-share-sniper-gang-presents-syko-bob-and-snapkatt-nightmare-babies-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sniper Gang MC</a> took to Instagram Live to let fans know he survived unscathed. &#8220;Please stop talking about ‘get well’ when s**t ain’t wrong,” he expressed. “Don’t send me s**t about no ‘get well’ no more when s**t ain’t happen to me.&#8221; Regardless, log back into <em>HNHH</em> for the latest news and updates on Syko Bob and Kodak Black.</p>
