As multiple outlets have noted, Kodak Black has been handed a 46-month — three years and 10 months — prison sentence, and will be spending the better of the next four years in a federal institution.
According to U.S. District Court Judge Federico Moreno, Kodak Black lied about his criminal records while attempting to purchase or purchasing six handguns on two different occasions; both incidents reportedly happened at a Hialeah shop known as Lou’s Police and Security Equipment.
“I’m sorry for the actions that led me for where I’m standing. I do take full responsibility for my mishap,” Kodak Black told the courtroom and the judge before receiving his sentence.
“Young people do stupid things,” Federico Moreno told Kodak Black as the rapper and his two lawyers listened for the judge’s decision. “But the problem is that you’ve been doing stupid things since you were 15.”
Prosecutors originally asked the judge to hand down an eight-year sentence, while Kodak Black’s aimed for a three-year sentence.
“This is going to be the longest sentence that he’s going to get in his career, hopefully his life,” Brad Cohen, Kodak’s defense attorney, shares via an official press statement.

A$AP Mob announced its fifth annual Yams Day event on November 13, what would have been the late producer’s 31st birthday. Promising appearances “from A$AP Mob & friends,” the event is to be held at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
A$AP Yams, a founding member of the A$AP mob collective that includes over a dozen members, passed away on January 18, 2015 and has since been memorialized in annual Yams Day events that aim to celebrate Yams’ young life. Past Yams Day gatherings have proven hugely popular, drawing immense crowds and performances from artists that range from Kendrick Lamar and Lil Uzi Vert to Cam’Ron and Soulja Boy.
This year, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Always Strive and Prosper Foundation, founded by Tatianna Rodriguez, Yams’ mother. The foundation aims to provide accessible education about substance use and abuse to young people and underrepresented communities, along with back-to-school events, Thanksgiving dinners and Mother’s Day celebrations.
Scheduled for January 17, tickets for Yams Day 2020 go on sale via Ticketmaster beginning November 15 with a pre-sale currently available with a password revealed on A$AP Mob’s Instagram.
Recently, several Mob members were in attendance at Yams Day vet Tyler, the Creator‘s yearly Camp Flog Gnaw event.
