Kodak Black has been issued an arrest warrant in Florida after testing positive for fentanyl, reports Associated Press. A Broward County circuit judge issued the warrant on Thursday (Feb. 23) after Black did not show up for a scheduled test on Feb. 3, submitted a sample late on Feb. 8, and failed.
Judge Barbara Duffy wrote that the southern rapper, née Bill Kahan Kapri, had violated the conditions of his “pretrial release for an oxycodone trafficking charge” from July 2022.

The trafficking charge found the artist with 14 to 24 grams of oxycodone in his possession during a traffic stop, according to ABC News. Black pleaded not guilty to the 2022 trafficking charge.
The CDC reports that oxycodone and fentanyl are synthetic opioids. However, both substances can be legally retrieved if prescribed or administered adequately at medical facilities. Fentanyl is detailed as being 50 times stronger than heroin and made its way across the United States at alarming rates, resulting in massive overdoses on American soil.
