A side-by-side of Kodak Black’s two fresh mugshots from this month hit the timeline like a brick and instantly turned into meme fuel.
The photos, from his May 7 booking in Orange County and his May 14 self-surrender in Broward, got blasted out by @mymixtapez and spread everywhere. The internet being the internet, half the comments were “clone theory” jokes about how different he looked in each pic. The other half were sighs and head-shakes:
“Here we go again.”
The latest situation went down in Broward County. On May 14, Kodak turned himself in on charges of attempting to flee or elude law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence. Both stem from a February 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach. Deputies say a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee was blocking traffic. When they tried to pull it over, Kodak allegedly hopped into another vehicle and took off.

He saw the judge the next day. Bond was set at a combined $3,500—$2,500 for the fleeing charge and $1,000 for resisting. He was out by May 15 with the usual warning: no guns or weapons while the case is open.
This came right on the heels of another self-surrender just days earlier. Around May 6 in Orange County, he was booked on a felony MDMAtrafficking charge (10-200 grams). That case dates back to November 24, 2025, in Orlando. Police rolled up on reports of gunshots near the Children’s Safety Village, searched a green Lamborghini SUV, and found 25.34 grams of MDMA in a pink bag, plus roughly $37,000 in cash and paperwork with Kodak’s name and prison ID on it.
He pleaded not guilty and posted a $75,000 bond in that one too.
At 28 (turning 29 soon), Bill Kahan Kapribetter known as Kodak Black or Dieuson Octave has been through this cycle more times than most artists his age. From “No Flockin” to “Super Gremlin,” his music stays in heavy rotation, but so do the headlines about his legal issues. Old cases in Pompano Beach, federal weapons charges, the whole nine. A lot of people still bring up how former President Trump commuted his federal sentence back in 2021.
Now the conversations are swirling again in hip-hop circles: Is South Florida’s most unpredictable star being hotboxed by the system because of who he is, or is this just the same old pattern playing out? His camp says a lot of these cases eventually get dropped or knocked down. Critics say the pattern is the problem.
Both the MDMA trafficking case and the new fleeing/resisting charges are still pending. For now, Kodak is back on the streets on relatively low bonds, and the internet along with everybody who’s been watching his career is still watching.
