Kodak Black will have to sit in jail as his lawyer's request to have him enter a drug treatment program has been denied.

According to the Miami Herald, Jacqueline Becerra denied Bradford Cohen, Kodak's attorny, request to place the rapper into rehab. Beccera, in her denial, called the rapper, real name Bill Kapri, a menace to society.

"If you're buying drugs or using drugs, you're a danger to the community," she said.

Judge Barbara Duffy, who is overseeing the case, has allowed the state to submit a subpoena for Kodak's full pharmacy records, presumably to see exactly where the rapper is getting his drugs.

Kodak Black's latest round of legal troubles began on December 7, when he was charged with cocaine possession and tampering with physical evidence as well as being improperly parked.

Four days later, he formally pleaded not guilty to the charges and has requested a trial by jury.

According to the police report, officers approached Kodak's Bentley when they observed the vehicle parked on an active roadway. When they approached the vehicle, they claimed they could smell alcohol and upon searching the car found cannabis rolling paper, cannabis residue and white powder.

During an Instagram Live on December 11, the Florida rapper made numerous confessions about his drug usage, including that he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on rehab.

Addressing his recent arrest for cocaine possession, Yak said: "I was on the lean, homie. I was asleep in front of my family house, bro. That's it. That ain't illegal."

He went on to call the arrest "bogus" and took issue with his mugshot being "plastered all over the internet."
