Fans were surprised that Kodak Black performed at the Rolling Loud Festival over the weekend.
After all, he was sentenced to 30 days in rehab by a Florida judge after police said he breached his bail terms after testing positive for Fentanyl.
The "Wake Up in the Sky" rapper was wanted by officers in the state around a week ago after failing a drug test.
In court documents obtained by People, a court issued an arrest warrant in his name after he failed to appear for a planned drug test in early February. Then, a few days later, he submitted a Fentanyl-positive sample.
The warrant was issued by County Judge Barbara Duffy, who stated that the 25-year-old rapper had breached the terms of his pre-trial release on an oxycodone trafficking charge from July 2022. He entered a not guilty plea to the case.
Over the weekend, though, Kodak Black lit up the stage at the Rolling Loud Festival in California. It seems like he put forth a lot of effort behind the scenes to stay sober in the days leading up to his performance.
The rapper's appearance at the three-day festival was his final hoorah before entering in-patient treatment next week.
Kodak Black was in Los Angeles with a team of individuals, according to his attorney, Bradford Cohen, to ensure he was free of any adverse influences, who spoke to TMZ.
According to an insider, the crew included a doctor to monitor his dietary habits, and another individual was assigned to be at his side at all times to ensure the rapper kept on "the straight and narrow."
The lawyer also stated that Kodak Black does not normally partake in the after-party scene, so he had one less thing to worry about while in California.
