President Donald Trump commuted Kodak Black’s prison sentence on January 20, 2021, his final day in office.
His record of armed robbery and weapons possession led to a January 2022 trespassing arrest in Pompano Beach, after which he pleaded guilty to assault and battery and received a probation sentence.
Following a December 2023 cocaine possession arrest in Plantation, Florida, he disclosed $350,000 spent on rehab and stressed his duty as a father of five.

Judge set Bill Kapri’s bond at $75,000, allowing the rapper to post bail, be released that evening, and leave Orange County Jail wearing a red hoodie, ignoring reporters.
Police responding to gunfire near Fairvilla Road on Nov. 24 searched a vehicle, recovered pills, and found a bag containing Kapri’s identification.
Kapri’s attorneys called the accusations ridiculous, asserted the searched vehicle was not his, and said they will fight the case.

Historical Context

In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed the Omnibus Crime Bill, which added a ten-year assault-weapons ban and expanded the death penalty to drug kingpins. The law intensified federal drug enforcement throughout the 1990s. Decades later, Orlando police arrested rapper Kodak Black in 2026 for MDMA trafficking, echoing the bill’s lasting impact.
