South Florida rapper Kodak Black was arrested overnight in Pompano Beach.
Black was on Instagram live at the time of his arrest. The Instagram video showed possible drug paraphernalia and a possible weapon in his home.
Police searched the home, then took him into custody. There was a child inside the home at the time of the arrest.
Black appeared at the Broward County Courthouse, Friday morning.
He has been hit with seven felony charges, including grand theft of a firearm, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, marijuana possession, child neglect without great bodily harm and probation violations from two previous arrests.
The 20-year-old rapper, whose his real name is Dieuson Octave, grew up in Pompano Beach.
“Mr. Octave was arrested yesterday,” said Black’s attorney Brad Cohen. “We’re gonna let the process play out. There’s several defenses to the arrest that was made, and we’re gonna handle it in due course, like anything. I’ve been working with Mr. Octave over the past six months. He’s made great strides, and this is of course a step back, but we’re gonna handle it, and we’re gonna raise the defenses that we need to raise.”
There will be a hearing to determine who will have custody of the child throughout the course of these legal proceedings.
Black is currently being held at the Broward County Jail without bond. #kodakblack #dieusonoctave #iglive#instagramlive #kodakblackhomeraided#kodakblackarrested#kodakblackarrestedoniglive#kodakblackbackinjail#kodakblackprobationviolation#probationviolation #browardcountyjail#childneglect #grandtheftofafirearm#marijuanapossession#feloninpossessionofirearms #felon#lilbigpac #plies #projectbaby
