Kodak Black posts $75K bond; attorney blasts "horrible" affidavit in MDMA trafficking case, citing weak evidence on constructive possession.
- May 10, 2026
AceShowbiz - Kodak Black secured his release from an Orange County, Florida jail after posting a $75,000 bond on Thursday. Immediately following his release, his attorney, Bradford Cohen, expressed strong criticism of the affidavit used in the MDMA trafficking case against his client.
The affidavit, which supports the charges, was described by Cohen as "horrible" and legally insufficient. With over 30 years of experience as a defense attorney, Cohen stated that it was one of the worst probable cause affidavits he has encountered in years. He emphasized that his critique is based solely on legal standards and not the identity of his client.
The central legal issue in the case involves the concept of constructive possession. Prosecutors must establish that Kodak Black had control or dominion over a bag containing 25.34 grams of MDMA found in a Lamborghini. However, according to Cohen, the affidavit fails to prove this connection because Kodak was neither inside the vehicle nor in possession of the bag.
In the affidavit, law enforcement detailed a November 2025 incident in Orlando. Responding to a gunshot call, officers discovered two luxury SUVs parked nearby. Inside one of those vehicles, the Lamborghini, police found the pink bag with MDMA, $37,000 in cash, and documents bearing Kodak Black's name. Neither vehicle was registered to him, and he was not present in either car during the search. Cohen highlighted this significant gap in the prosecution's case, calling it a "ridiculous probable cause affidavit."
According to Cohen, the defense team is already preparing multiple motions to challenge the legal sufficiency of the charges. He has also announced plans to make the affidavit publicly accessible online so that others can evaluate its contents and legal merit.
Cohen expressed hope that the prosecuting authorities will reconsider their position, urging them to adhere strictly to legal standards, especially concerning constructive possession. "Hopefully, they do the right thing and actually adhere to the law and see that this is not a constructive possession case," he said.
Kodak Black has entered a plea of not guilty and has requested a jury trial. According to NBC Miami, he waived his right to be present at the upcoming arraignment, allowing Cohen to represent him in court proceedings moving forward.
As of now, no court date has been scheduled for Kodak Black’s next appearance in Orange County, Florida.
