Last month Kodak Black was sentenced after he was found guilty of violating his probation.
He was sentenced to a year in county jail, but the judge said his sentence would be reduced if he attended a life skills program.
According to XXL, Kodak fired his two previous lawyers and hired a new one, who provided the Sun Sentinel with an update on how he is doing since receiving his sentence.
Kodak’s lawyer, Brad Cohen said in a statement, “Dieuson is doing great, he was transferred to the location where the Life skills program is given. He has enrolled in life skills and we anticipate him completing it in the next 30 days. After that program is completed, I believe with his gain time and credit for time he has already served he should be released. We are excited the Judge gave him a chance to demonstrate that he can abide by the terms and conditions of his plea. I am grateful that I was hired for his sentencing after he fired his previous attorneys to assure he didn’t get years in prison.”
The judge said that the 19-year-old rapper’s sentence would be reduced to 180 days, and with the time he has already spent behind bars, that would count towards his sentence.
