Kodak Black was arrested on weapons charges earlier today (May 11) in Miami prior to his scheduled performance Rolling Loud festival, the Miami Herald and NBC report.

According to NBC, U.S. marshals stated that Kodak was arrested at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami-Dade county before his scheduled performance at Rolling Loud. They also reportedly stated that Kodak’s arrest was made following “an extensive investigation conducted by the U.S. Marshals, ATF, and Miami-Dade Police Department’s North Side Gang Unit.” U.S. marshals reportedly went on to say that Kodak will be charged with both state and federal firearms violations. He is reportedly being booked into the Federal Detention Center in Miami. The investigation is reportedly being led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

Update (May 12, 2:48 p.m. Eastern): Representatives for Rolling Loud clarified in a statement that the rapper was not arrested at Rolling Loud, but rather while he was on his way to the festival. “We have no knowledge of what led to the arrest since he was not on festival property,” representatives wrote.

Kodak is scheduled for an initial appearance at the U.S. Courthouse in Downtown Miami on Monday.

Last month, Kodak was arrested at the U.S. border and charged with possessing a weapon and marijuana. He subsequently missed a scheduled performance in Boston.
