Bradford Cohen, Kodak Black’s loyal attorney, criticized “mainstream” media outlets for focusing on negative stories regarding his client. Cohen questioned why the rapper’s pledge to donate to the family of a slain police officer did not much attention on Thursday (February 22).
“I’m sure the mainstream won’t carry it,” Cohen wrote on Instagram. “@tmz_tv will probably only run something negative. But we know how @kodakblack moves and what he’s been doing since day one. It’s a shame when people only want negativity on someone.”
Cohen announced Kodak’s plans to donate on Wednesday (February 21). The attorney revealed the good deed the same day his client was released from jail.
“In typically Kodak fashion, he just pledged to donate to the college fund of a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old,” Cohen wrote. “Whose father was a Minnesota officer killed recently in the line of duty. Expecting his 2nd son this Friday, he knows how important family is and hopes it helps relieve some burden.”
Cohen circled back to the donation in the comments of his Instagram post on Thursday.
“Just got off the phone with the charity that goes directly to the families,” the lawyer wrote. “So appreciative and kind. We wish them all the best in these difficult times. No kid should grow up without a Dad lost to a senseless act.”
Kodak secured his release from jail after pleading guilty to failure to report police contact. He was arrested on drug-related charges in December 2023.
Earlier this month, a judge dismissed Kodak’s possession of oxycodone charge. He received time served for a probation violation, allowing him to walk free on Wednesday. But he quickly found himself in more trouble as threatened and threw rocks at a local news crew covering his release. A police report was filed over the incident.
