American rapper Kodak Black’s time with the jail officers is over as he has been released from Broward County Jail after serving seven months behind bars. He was imprisoned way back in January after he posted a video on Instagram where there was the presence of marijuana and a gun near a small kid. He was later cleared of many of these charges but still had to serve seven months behind the bar.
Kodak Black, whose real name is Dieuson Octave, was arrested in his home state of Floria and multiple charges were pressed against him. The charges included two counts of probation violation, possession of marijuana, possession of a weapon, child neglect, and many other felonies.

He has also been previously arrested for charges like sexual assault as well as possession of a gun which belonged to a convicted felon. Kodak Black’s Net Worth is $2.5 million.
