Kodak Black, whose real name is Dieuson Octave, was among the most in-demand rappers in the country after his breakout single “Look at Me!” reigned atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2015, generating more than 300 million streams and selling more than two million copies.
He was initially sentenced to a two-year jail term on weapons charges from his arrest in South Florida. A judge placed him on supervised probation, which included periodic random drug and alcohol testing, during the prison sentence in July 2015.
