It seemed like the busted Oxydocene pills retrieved from Kodak Black's recent weekend arrest were not illegal after all.
Last Friday, the "Super Gremlin" rapper was stopped by over Ft. Lauderdale when authorities found that he was reeking marijuana and in possession of the said drugs and cold cash.
Although released on bond, Black's legal team has been relentless in proving that the drugs were actually not illegal.
Kodak Black's Oxydocene Pills Not Illegal
Speaking to TMZ very recently, Kodak Black's lawyer has revealed that the recovered Oxydocene pills found on the rapper's Dodge Durano last Friday that led to his arrest were actually prescribed by his doctor.
Apparently, the "Usain Boo" rapper was using the Oxydocene pills to battle "chronic pain" since he was shot last Superbowl LVI weekend in Indio, California. Bradford Cohen, Kodak's lawyer, deemed the pills "necessary" for the rapper's treatment.
Aside from the Super Bowl Weekend injuries, Cohen also highlighted that a Kentucky federal prison guards had assaulted him before his release from jail in 2020, which injuries are also being treated by the oxy pill.
According to Cohen, he has already proven that the Oxydocene pills found on the scene were legally prescribed to Kodak Black to "quickly resolve" the matter.
Kodak Black Arrested in Florida For Trafficking
Apart from the recovered Oxydocene pills on Kodak Black's car last Friday, cash amounting to $74,960 were also found.
Shortly after, the 25-year-old rapper was charged with trafficking, Fox reports.
More details: Kodak Black was stopped for an expired tag and illegal window tints. Cops smelled weed when he opened the door to the bulletproof SUV he was driving, so they began a search.

That's when they found the pills without a prescription and the cash.
However, Kodak asked his lawyer, Bradford Cohen, to check the drugs found in his car. The latter then filed a motion to inspect the evidence via a third party.
"It is impossible ... to explore a defense on behalf of [Kodak] without being able to inspect, weigh, and independently test the substances," Cohen said in a statement.
For Cohen, the right to inspect ensures his client's rights to a fair hearing, right to confrontation, his right to prepare a defense on his own behalf, his right to effective assistance to counsel, and due process of law.
Eventually, the Pompano Beach native filed a bond worth $75,000 and pleaded not guilty to the case.
This was not the first time Kodak has had run-ins with the law, as he has frequent jail visits because of his somewhat irregular lifestyle.
