Even though former United States president, Donald Trump, commuted Kodak Black’s sentence following pressure from the hip-hop community, the artiste may eventually serve the full sentence.
This follows his arrest after he was found in his car with signs of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine present while the engine was still running.
The latest development could reportedly bring back the sentence handed to him in 2020.
Black has since been in jail and may remain there for two more weeks until a hearing to evaluate reinstating his previously commuted sentence. According to AllHipHop, that hearing is due to take place on January 22.
In an attempt to help the rapper overcome his addiction to drugs, his lawyers filed for a 90-day drug treatment program after his arrest, but a judge shut down the proposal a few days later, as he described Black as a danger to the community.
