Kodak Black throws rocks at Florida news crew in altercation, sparking controversy and police investigation.
In a remarkable incident that occurred shortly after his release from prison, rapper Kodak Black attacked a news crew in Florida with rocks.
Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, was approached by a local news team as he left prison. Instead of responding politely, Black reacted aggressively, throwing stones at the journalist and threatening to hit him. Ironically, Black shouted, ‘Call the police!
Journalists Bryan Murphy and Rosh Lowe from WPLG Local 10 attempted to de-escalate the situation while on the other side of the camera. Do you understand what I’m saying? In the video, one of them can be heard saying, ‘Don’t throw anything at our camera’, ‘I won’t submit to you, Kodak’, and ‘Don’t threaten to hit me again.
Should I call the police on you, Kodak?!’ As a response, Kodak simply rapped a few lines of lyrics while walking towards a car that was supposed to drive him away.
According to WPLG Local 10, Murphy was hit in the ribs by some of the stones thrown by Black, but did not sustain any serious injuries.

The incident occurred shortly after Black’s release from prison, where he was incarcerated for drug possession, which also triggered a violation of his probation conditions from a previous weapons case.
Court documents show that Black admitted to the violation and the judge sentenced him to time already served without further supervised release.
The possession charge was also dropped after further tests revealed that the substance found on Black during a traffic stop on December 7th was not cocaine, but a painkiller for which he had a prescription.
Kodak Black is known for his controversial actions and statements. The rapper’s career has been repeatedly overshadowed by legal issues, including multiple arrests for drug possession. The recent incident once again raises questions about the rapper’s behavior and interactions with the media.
