This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news. in all of the conversation that shakes the room, baby. Now, we are checking in behind the scenes of the grind, and I am so excited. Today kicks off Mother's Day weekend, and I am not excited because I'm expecting a child, okay? Don't misconstrue. I am excited because I'm getting to go home

with my mom and my grandmother and celebrate them for Mother's Day. I love any weekend that I can take off of work and just be with my family, period, point-blank, period again. but Mother's Day weekend is always really special for my family. We do a mother-daughter sleepover that has been happening for years and years and years and years in my family. And this year we are doing it again. And it's kind of crazy how when you get older, so many different things become like your responsibility that wouldn't have been your responsibility before. So like now me and my cousins are tasked with planning the mother-daughter sleepover. And honestly, I have not been as big of a help this year.

These last couple weeks have been crazy, but I will be there. Okay. So if you are listening to this right now, I am already headed to my mother, my family, to celebrate all things, mom. And I don't know. I just think it's the older I get, and I've always been a very family-oriented person. I talk a lot about my family here on a podcast and wherever you listen or watch me at. But the older I get, I just really appreciate coming from a family full of love.

like, you know, everything don't always be perfect. People had our things. Every family has their things. But as I navigate the world and I navigate different people in different places and different experiences, I feel like you can always tell the difference in people who were raised in love. And I mean, in real love, like people who actually love them and support them no matter what they can and can't do for them, no matter who they are.

But like real bond, family love. And my family is very traditional as well, too. And the older I get, oh, my, I just appreciate and look forward to that so much. I've always been like this since I was a kid where I looked forward to like any time our family was getting together. But I just really appreciate it a lot more now, you know, with my mom and my grandmother getting older, a lot of my family members getting older. You just, I don't know, you just want things to, you want things to be like right and calm and easy for the people you love and they're older. age but you also look back and you just really want to give them their flowers for making sure your life was like that in the beginning of your life like very calm very easy very comfortable

um so it's an amazing feeling and i'm excited and yeah just i hope everybody is is headed out to have a great mother's day uh weekend for you know everybody this weekend um that are grieving mothers and women and your family i know sometimes holidays like this can be hard for people as well too.

Each episode, we pick a here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s.

To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast. podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, I want to segue on into the latest because we're talking about people, you know, just having things that they're having to deal with in real life. And for me, it's like, okay, we sit and we talk about all of this news and we report

all of this news. But what I'm beginning to learn as I get older as well, too, is like there's always, there are humans behind these stories with real lives, real, you know, effects, the headlines really affect them in real life. And they're actually, people are really battling these controversies that we are covering because it's trending or it's what people are talking about in real life. And speaking of a person who, it seems like, you know, he's been battling a lot over these last couple of years. Kodak Black. So today I broke a story via my Twitter handle, Lauren LaRosa, L-O-R-E-N-L-R-O-S-A.

And we spoke about it a bit on the Breakfast Club as well, too, that Kodak Black, is back at it again going back and forth with the law this time down in Florida. So I gotten a tip through someone connected to the show that Kodak Black had been arrested down in Florida. I reached out to his attorney, Bradford Cohen, who then confirmed to me that Kodak Black had been taken into police custody. Now what he tells me is that Kodak Black actually turned himself in on the night of Cinco DeMayo.

because their team had been notified that marshals planned to arrest Kodak Black. So Kodak Black got in contact with his attorney. His attorney reached out to the U.S. Marshals down in Florida, down in Orlando, Florida. He flew in from California and turned himself in. Once he turned himself in, he was then charged with drug trafficking, and they mentioned MDMA in the charges. Now, Kodak Black's attorney, Bradford Cohen, tells me that he believes. leaves his client is being targeted by police and here's why he's saying that. So for background, this is all stemming from an incident that happened in November of 2025. So back in November

2025, police say that they were responding to a phone call of gunshots fired in a neighborhood. When they arrived, they found two luxury vehicles, one of them being a Lamborghini SUV. They approached the vehicles after responding to the call and there were a ton of people in and around the vehicles. Kodak Black, they allege is one of the people that were around the vehicles, but not in the vehicle. Police alleged that the vehicle smelt like weed, so the officers then had probable cause to search the vehicles. So they did that. Police say when they searched the vehicles, they then found a $100 bill inside a Lamborghini SUV that had a white substance on the $100 bill. They then say they found a pink bag containing a plastic bag of

MDMA. They found in that pink bag $37,000. And they also found in that pink bag a ton of documents with Kodak Black's name listed on them. Now, police say that at the time of the, you know, the search on the scene that no one wanted to take ownership for the bag or anything that was found. But Kodak Black did ask police officers if he could have the $37,000 back because he said that it belonged to his business, even though the bag was not his. Now, police then say later on in their investigation following these searches, they went on Instagram and found photos, they alleged photos that they found of Kodak Black with a pink bag that matched the bag that was found at the scene where things were found in a very specific

lighter that was, I guess, found at the scene as well too, was in another one of the photos in Kodak Black's possession. So they are linking Kodak Black to this bag that was found with. with the drugs from photos from Instagram. Now, originally, I will say, originally when I talked to Kodak Black's attorney, he had told me that police officer said that they found a bottle of Kau-Sahrup, Orlean,

in the pink bag, and on that bottle, there were fingerprints, and that the fingerprints checked out to be Kodak Blacks. Now, that is changing. Now, you know, Kodak Black's attorney is telling me there are no fingerprints on anything, whatsoever, but that police are only linking him to that pink bag and charging him because of the photos that they found on Instagram.

And he tells me that the photo that was found on Instagram was from a week prior to the search that police are leaning everything on. Now, Kodak Black made his first appearance in court yesterday. I was told, you know, earlier yesterday when I talked to his attorney that he would be making an appearance in court, that they, you know, weren't worried at all about him receiving a bond. And that is what happened. even though the bond amount and how it escalated, to me, signal some things about what we might see later on in this case,

and I'll get to that. But Codec Black made his first appearance in court yesterday. He pled not guilty. He asked for a jury trial, which is really smart in a situation like this, and I'll explain why I say to that as well. And he also waived his right to appear in person at an upcoming arraignment in Florida, which just means that his team will be able to go for him and just say not guilty again or whatever is needed. Now, the state requested,

that, you know, in light of his occupation and the fact that he is not actually from Orlando, that the bond be increased and that one of the conditions be that he surrender his passport. But Kodak Black's attorney says that, you know, Kodak Black is a Haitian American. He is a proud Haitian American, but he is an American. He has a U.S. passport. He doesn't have any plans on leaving the country. And that, you know, they face cases. that are 10 times more than the case that they're currently having a conversation with.

And his attorney makes it clear that he's won, by the way. But the fact that he's a rapper doesn't give, you know, the state any legal room to act for harsher bond or, you know, harsher bond circumstances. Canadian women are looking for more.

To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day But just so y'all know I mean at this point Mark this is the second episode where we've discussed crack So I'm starting to see There's a through line

We also have AIDS on the table right now So Thank you for finishing that sentence I don't think there's a more important year for black people Really? Yeah For me it's one of the most important years

For black people in American history Listen to look back at it On the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts Or wherever you get your podcasts So let's clarify a few things. So his team, so Kodak Black's attorney, asks the judge to set the bond at 10K.

The prosecutors of the state ask for it to be 50K because they basically feel like it needs to be heavier so that they can be for sure that he'll show up the court. And they, again, list the fact that he's a professional rapper and you know that he moves around and all these things. Now, a judge pointed out that Kodak Black had previous felony convictions, had previous misdemeanor convictions and had actually had been convicted of failure to appear

in court a time previous. So the judge decided to go above both the prosecutors and the defense and set the bond at $75,000. And he cited that there were 12 previous felony convictions and two misdemeanor convictions and one failure to appear to be clear. So the judge says he's not worried about the fact that Kodak Black is a rapper. It's more. about his record at this point. Like, I'm seeing all these convictions and I'm seeing that at some point you didn't even appear to court, you know, at some point in one of these cases. So I can't really trust that you honor the court enough to take it easy on you. And I think that that signals a lot for what we'll see. And that's what I was talking about earlier because, you know, I think the judge

pointing out the fact that he doesn't care about code and black being a rapper is great. But the fact that he's leaning on here's what your past shows me and tells me it it doesn't sound like a judge trust um you know the responsibility of code at black which is going to say a lot but it's it's great that they asked for the jury hearing uh which i pointed out earlier because if that is the case now it's not just on the judge to determine anything right you have 12 people outside of the judge um who will actually be listening and determining so it kind of stacks the court not in Kodak's favor, but at least give them a more fair shot at trying to convince the court that he's, you know, not guilty, but also responsible enough to learn from his, you know, whatever, you know,

in case he does get hit with anything from this case that he's able to learn from it and, you know, no harsh punishments. You know, just thinking forward. His team is thinking forward. But Bradford Cohen is a really great attorney, so I'm not surprised at that. I don't know. I just think, you know, there's been so many combos over this last year. year or two about Kodak Black. And I feel like people always have so much to say about Kodak Black

and his decisions that he makes out loud. But I just really pray that people in silent, like behind the scenes, what we're not able to see, you know, anybody that he will listen to is actually having conversations with him that need to be had because Kodak Black is super talented. He has been able to become, you know, very successful music artist from nothing, but you only get one life and it can't be played with. And I would hate to see a judge and a jail and a jury be the final conversations or one of the final conversations that he has in order for him to realize that because, you know, once that happens, a lot of times you lose everything, you know, you got to start back over. And he's been down this road before. This is not anything new.

So it just seems like he needs some real guidance and support. And I pray that he gets that. So we'll keep you guys updated on, you know, where things go from here and any exclusive updates that I get. And again, whenever I'm breaking news in real time, it normally hits social media first. And then I bring it back here to the latest for the real conversation and the real deep dive. So follow me everywhere, Lauren La Rosa, L-O-R-E-N, L-O-R-O-S-A.
