New reports have surfaced stating that Kodak Black is blaming his most recent legal troubles on his GPS system. Advertisement Bill “Kodak Black” Kapri (born Dieuson Octave) was arrested at the Canadian border on Wednesday for possession of guns and weed. While most outlets reported his travels as starting from Canada and driving into the U.S., that’s not exactly what happened. As reported by TMZ via AllHipHop: The rapper set out Wednesday to drive himself from Detroit to Boston, punched the destination into his GPS, and it put him on the most direct route ... through Canada, NY and onto Massachusetts. The problem for KB, we’re told, is he had no idea he was leaving the good ole U.S of A. We’re told he didn’t realize until he was asked to present a passport, and at that point, there was no turning back ... so they stayed on the route. We all know what happened next: Kodak Black was eventually released on a $20,000 cash bond. He is still facing a first-degree criminal sexual misconduct charge involving a teenage high school student in South Carolina.

Due to the circumstances surrounding his arrest, it's been made clear that a number of his shows are "unlikely" to go ahead. TMZ is now reporting that the Florence County Solicitors Office in South Carolina is looking into if Kodak violated bond conditions relating to his sexual misconduct case. According to CBS-affiliate WBTW, the case is being reviewed for possible bond revocation. If the conclusion is that he did, in fact, break his bond conditions, then prosecutors are expected to hold a hearing in which they'll request the judge revoke his bond. When cops pulled Kodak and his entourage over at the border, they discovered a 9mm pistol and weed. Kodak was indicted back in April 2017 on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He was accused of taking an unnamed teenage girl to his hotel room in February 2016 and raping her, with the victim claiming he said he "couldn't help himself" and tore off her clothes. She also alleged that he bit her numerous times. He was released on $100,000 bond at the time.<doc-sep>Kodak Black ﻿is staring down the possibility of missing more shows on his tour, because Canadian authorities could bar him from entering the country for a couple of scheduled gigs North of the border. Kodak's got concerts on deck Monday in Montreal and Tuesday in Toronto, but those shows are now in limbo because of his drug and gun bust at the Canada-U.S. border. Sources at the Canada Border Services Agency tell TMZ ... anyone crossing the border into Canada must demonstrate that they meet the requirements to enter or stay in the country, and involvement in criminal activity is grounds to bar someone from entering. Our sources at the CBSA wouldn't comment on whether or not Kodak would be admitted into Canada for his gigs, telling us everyone's eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. However, our law enforcement sources tell us anyone with a serious criminal history or anyone facing serious felony charges will likely have a difficult time entering Canada. We're told it's unlikely Kodak will be allowed into the country for those shows. Kodak has some options if he's denied entry, such as requesting a Temporary Resident Permit ... but again, our sources say it's very unlikely Kodak would apply for the permit, because he doesn't meet all its criteria. Play video content 4/18/19 ABC 7 WKBW We broke the story ... Kodak was arrested on on weapons and drug charges at the U.S. border in New York after cutting through Canada on his way from Detroit to Boston. Cops say they found weed on Kodak and a gun in the car he was driving. It was back in July when G-Eazy was denied entry into the country after his cocaine arrest during a trip to Sweden ... Chris Brown faced the same fate in 2015 because of his criminal past. Kodak already missed shows in Boston and Connecticut because of the bust, and now it's looking increasingly likely he will miss at least 2 more.<doc-sep>
(CNN) — Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested. Black, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, 21, was arrested on gun and drug charges Wednesday near Niagara Falls, New York, while trying to enter the US from Canada, New York State Police said. Kapri and three others were detained by US Border and Customs Protection before being arrested by police. Kapri faces allegations of criminal possession of a weapon second degree and unlawful possession of marijuana. Officer James O’Callaghan, a public information officer for Troop A of the New York State Police, told CNN a Glock 9mm pistol was undeclared in their Cadillac Escalade at the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge. CNN has reached out to Black’s representative for comment. Kapri was arraigned at a court in the town of Lewiston and remanded to Niagara County Jail on $20,000/$40,000 cash bond. He posted bail on Thursday, CNN affiliate WKBW reported. A video showed him walking to a parking lot, apparently shielding his face with a fan of cash. The singer has a court date set for next month. He was expected to perform in Boston at The House of Blues on Wednesday. Kapri was raised in Pompano Beach, Florida. His breakout hit “Tunnel Vision” became his first top 10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. He has been arrested multiple times and was indicted by a grand jury in South Carolina in 2016, accused of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. His trial, which was expected to take place this month, was continued.
