The cops was clocking Kodak all day yesterday … he thought a fan was trolling when they said this.
Following the arrest, Rolling Loud releases a statement:
“Kodak Black was not arrested at Rolling Loud. He was arrested on his way to the festival and we have no knowledge of what led to the arrest since he was not on festival property.”
