Kodak Black was arrested Friday after allegedly being in possession of dozens of oxycodone pills during a stop in Florida.
The 25-year-old “Codeine Dreaming” rapper was driving a Dodge Durango in Fort Lauderdale when police pulled him over on suspicion of illegally tinting the windows, according to TMZ.
Officers reportedly smelled marijuana when they approached his truck. A search of the vehicle turned up 31 oxy pills and $74,960 in cash, the store said.
Black’s vehicle license and tags were also expired and the rapper was taken to the Broward County Jail on unspecified charges, according to the report.
Black, who was born Dieuson Octave and later changed his legal name to Bill Kahan Kapri, has had a number of legal troubles, including a carjacking charge when he was in middle school.

The Pompano Beach rapper has been in and out of jail and prison in connection with various crimes throughout his young career.
In 2019, he was arrested for weapons possession and sentenced to four years in prison. He served about half the term before his sentence was commuted by former President Donald Trump before he left office.
The Atlantic Records recording artist avoided more prison time last year by taking a plea deal after being accused of raping a teenager in 2016.
Black, known for hits like “No Flockin'” and “Roll in Peace,” has sold more than 30 million singles since 2014.
