What Happened

Orange County prosecutors declined to prosecute Kodak Black on a first-degree felony MDMA trafficking charge tied to his May 2026 arrest, citing insufficient evidence to prove possession.

Why It Matters

A serious Florida trafficking charge has ended without prosecution, changing the legal picture around an arrest that had carried much heavier implications when it was first reported.

Kodak Black will not be prosecuted on the MDMA trafficking charge tied to his May arrest in Orlando.

The Orange County State Attorney’s Office filed a No Information notice, meaning prosecutors declined to move forward with the first-degree felony case. The filing cited insufficient evidence to prove that Kodak, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, possessed the contraband at issue.

That is not the same thing as an acquittal after trial. The case stopped before prosecutors formally pursued it.

The charge came from a 2025 police encounter

The allegation traced back to a November 2025 encounter involving a vehicle where authorities said they recovered MDMA and cash from a bag. Kodak denied the bag belonged to him.

He was later arrested in May 2026 on a trafficking count covering 10 to 200 grams of MDMA.

After reviewing the case, prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to prove possession and declined to file the charge.

Kodak’s attorney says the arrest should not have happened

Attorney Bradford Cohen said the prosecution made the right decision after reviewing the law and evidence and argued that Kodak should not have been arrested in the first place.

That is Cohen’s position. The confirmed development is that Orange County prosecutors are not moving forward with the trafficking case.

For Kodak, it closes a serious Florida charge without a prosecution hanging over him.
