Kodak Black

Kodak Black, born Bill Kahan Kapri on June 11, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Florida, is one of the most prominent yet controversial figures in modern hip-hop. Raised in a public housing project called Golden Acres, he began rapping at a young age and joined a local rap group called Brutal Youngnz before eventually going solo. His breakout single “No Flockin” in 2014 caught massive attention online, propelling him from a local Florida rapper to a nationally recognized artist almost overnight.

His debut studio album “Painting Pictures” was released in 2017 and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart. The album featured the hit single “Tunnel Vision,” which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple platinum. He followed up with several successful projects including “Dying to Live” in 2018, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and featured the chart-topping collaboration “ZEZE” with Travis Scott and Offset.

Despite his musical success, Kodak Black’s career has been repeatedly interrupted by legal troubles. He has faced multiple arrests and charges ranging from weapons possession to federal firearms violations. In 2020, he received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, which commuted his federal prison sentence. His legal issues have significantly impacted his ability to accumulate and retain wealth, with substantial legal fees and periods of incarceration limiting his earning potential.

As of 2026, Kodak Black’s net worth is estimated at approximately $2 million. While his music catalog generates consistent streaming revenue and he continues to release new projects, his financial standing has been heavily affected by legal expenses, lifestyle spending, and time spent away from the music industry. He remains a popular streaming artist with billions of cumulative plays across platforms.
