South Florida’s hottest emerging rapper might be gone for good.
Various media sources are reporting this morning that Kodak Black, one of the most talented rappers in South Florida but a magnet for trouble, has been arrested for grand theft of a firearm, possession of marijuana, child neglect, two counts of possession of a weapon by a felon, and two counts of probation violation.
In light of his criminal past, including rape charges, it’s unlikely he’ll be released on bail.

“Your phone is part of this search warrant. You are not going to get your phone back,” a man says.
Friday morning, he was being held at the Broward County jail in Pompano Beach. He is alleged to have had ammunition, which is illegal for a felon. He posted the address of the jail on Twitter.
