The rapper was taken into custody on Thursday, May 14.

Kodak Black has reportedly been arrested again in South Florida. According to Broward County Sheriff’s Office records, the rapper was taken into custody Thursday in Pompano Beach. Jail records show the 28-year-old artist remains in custody at Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale as of Thursday. Court records tied to the arrest had not yet been filed at the time of reporting.

Kodak Black is currently facing charges of fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement, along with resisting arrest without violence. Additional details surrounding the incident have not yet been made public.

The latest arrest comes just days after Kodak Black was reportedly arrested in Orange County, Florida on May 6 on drug-related charges. The back-to-back legal incidents have once again placed the rapper’s personal life under heavy public scrutiny. Over the years, Kodak has frequently found himself in headlines tied to arrests. The issues have surrounded probation and other legal troubles. Furthermore, these are legal affairs that have at times interrupted his music career.

As HNHH previously reported, it seems as though just as momentum starts building again, "another mugshot or court case pulls the conversation away from the music." Therefor, the public returns back to the same questions about whether Kodak can stay out of trouble long enough for the focus to remain on his career.

Moreover, Kodak Black has continued releasing music consistently while navigating various personal and legal controversies. These legal issues have followed his career for years now.

As of now, neither Kodak Black nor his team have publicly addressed the latest arrest. In addition, more information is expected to surface once official court documents are filed.
