Exclusive: Kodak Black Asks Judge To Drop All Charges From Gun & Drug Bust

Rapper Says Cops Don’t Have Proof He Committed A Crime

Kodak Black has made a bold legal move in his fight for freedom from his recent drug and weapons charges.

The rapper’s lawyer filed papers Thursday asking the judge to dismiss all seven charges against him following a raid on his home last month where cops found guns and drugs in the presence of his toddler son.

In court papers, Kodak, who was born Dieuson Octave, told the judge that there’s no hard evidence that he was involved in any of the alleged crimes that he’s been accused of, including child neglect, grand theft of a firearm, possession of 95 grams of pot and possession of a weapon as a convicted felon. He has been held without bail since the Jan. 18 incident.

Last month, cops busted the “Tunnel Vision” rapper’s Pembroke Pines, Fla. home after concerned fans alerted them to an Instagram live video where two of Kodak’s friends were playing with a handgun in the bathroom, and another had a lit blunt inches away from Kodak’s son’s face. Kodak then comes into view, but allegedly made no attempt to take his son out of that situation, according to the police complaint.

However, Kodak said the Instagram live video isn’t enough proof to show that a crime actually occurred. The rapper said he was getting a tattoo in another room, and just because the video doesn’t show him taking his son out of the bathroom once he realized what was going on doesn’t prove he neglected the boy.

Kodak also said that at least four other people lived at his house, and there were always people coming in and out because his place also functioned as a recording studio for his record label “Sniper Gang.” Kodak said he was in the midst of a nationwide tour, and it wasn’t clear when he’d last actually slept there. He said in court papers that two other people had access to a safe where cops recovered guns and a stack of cash.

Kodak also called out the Broward County Sheriff’s Department for their handling of the bust, saying officers in skeleton masks brandishing AR-15 rifles ran up in his house in the presence of his two year old son. He said before cops read him his Miranda Rights, they demanded the combination to the safe where they found guns and money. He also said that curiously, the cops failed to wear the body cameras that they routinely use during the raid.

Kodak wants all the charges thrown out, as well as the Instagram live video.

A judge has yet to rule on Kodak’s motion.
