Kodak Black will remain behind bars for the forseeable future. During a U.S. District Court hearing on Wednesday (May 29), Judge Federico Moreno ruled the “Zeze” rapper to be a “danger to the community” in Florida, according to WPLG Local 10.
The 21-year-old was arrested by feds on various weapons charges earlier in May before he was slated to hit the Rolling Loud stage in Miami. The Sun-Sentinel reported that a judge originally granted Kodak bond for $550,000 with house arrest, but state prosectors successfully appealed the determination based on Black’s lenghty rap sheet.
