Niagara County, NY – Embattled rapper Kodak Black could be spending more time behind bars. On Thursday (March 12), according to Pitchfork, the 22-year-old Atlantic Records artist pled guilty to attempted second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

He added, “Let me find out Zendaya on her Z sh*t Boi. Everybody screaming ‘Jennaske !’ I’m Proud of her, That’s da Homie!”
The currently incarcerated artist faces 2-7 years in prison that will be served with his federal weapons sentencing. The gun possession charge comes from Kodak’s arrest in April 2019 when he was caught with the weapon while attempting to cross the border into Canada from the U.S.
The “Expeditiously” rapper reportedly never intended to go into the foreign country but was led on a different route from his GPS while traveling to a show in Boston from Detroit. The navigation system was guiding Kodak through Canada, New York and then Massachusetts.
Border authorities searched the Broward County native’s Porsche and arrested him along with three members of his entourage. A total of four handguns and weed were found in the vehicle.
The guilty plea was another chapter in Kodak’s long history with the law. In 2015 at the age of 18, he was arrested for kidnapping and battery along with’ other charges. Since then, he had eight other arrests for various charges, including child neglect, robbery and assault.

In January, the rapper feared for his life while behind bars. He called out two prison lieutenants at the Miami Federal Detention Center for abusing their power and believed it was a “big conspiracy” against him. Kodak was eventually transferred to a federal penitentiary in Kentucky.
