Kodak Black Released From Prison, Still Faces Sexual Assault Charge

Kodak Black is a free man.

The rapper, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was released from a federal prison outside of Chicago on Wednesday, Jan. 20, after Donald Trump granted him clemency. He was serving a 46-month prison sentence for falsifying paperwork to obtain a firearm and served nearly half of that time.

I Want To Thank The President @RealDonaldTrump For His Commitment To Justice Reform And Shortening My Sentence. I Also Want To Thank Everyone For Their Support And Love.

Despite his commutation, his legal woes are not over. The Florida rapper still faces a felony charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in South Carolina. According to TMZ, prosecutors are planning to “aggressively” proceed with the pending case against Kodak, who is accused of raping on an 18-year-old woman in a hotel room following a 2016 concert. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in state prison.
