Jay Z Hones In On Yet Another Deal With Barclays Center

Kodak Black was reportedly arrested in Miami on Saturday (May 11) as he was en route to his set at the Rolling Loud Miami Festival, the Miami Herald reports.

The arrest was made by Miami-Dade’s Northside Station and agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and U.S. Marshals near the Hard Rock Stadium where Kodak was scheduled to perform. It was reportedly part of an "extensive investigation," according to the U.S. Marshals.

A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Police Department confirmed the rapper – born Dieuson Octave – was charged with a crime in relation to weapons but did not elaborate on the severity of the charge.

Rolling Loud officials released an official statement clarifying details surrounding Kodak's arrest. "Kodak Black was not arrested at Rolling Loud," the statement reads per Vulture. "He was arrested on his way to the festival and we have no knowledge of what led to the arrest since he was not on festival property."

The recent arrest is just the latest addition to Kodak's ongoing legal issues. In April 2019, the rapper was arrested on drug and weapons charges as he attempted to cross the border from Canada into the United States. Kodak blamed his GPS for the mishap at the time. The Project Baby artist was also arrested in Broward County for grand theft, marijuana possession, and child neglect. Black's trial has also been delayed after being charged with sexual assault.

It is unclear if Kodak is facing jail time in relation to his latest arrest.

NBA YoungBoy was allegedly the target of a shooting that took place near Miami on Mother's Day (May 12), TMZ reports. The shooting left one person dead.

The incident reportedly took place at the Trump Beach Resort. Multiple witnesses alleged seeing a person opened fire on NBA YoungBoy and his crew while they were outside of the beachside hotel. It's unclear what NBA's relation to the shooter was.

Footage obtained by TMZ shows the aftermath of the shooting. The one-minute video appears to show an emergency official transporting a body into the back of an ambulance. NBA and his team were allegedly in the prominent black van.

Initial reports claimed that YoungBoy's girlfriend, Kay Marie, was injured at the scene. Other reports suggested YoungBoy's security shot and killed the alleged shooter. The Aventura Police Department has not verified any of these reports at this time. The police have only confirmed that one person is dead, although their identity has not been revealed.

Another shooting reportedly took place in Sunny Isles, which is fairly close to where NBA YoungBoy was shot at. Investigators are looking into whether the two incidents are connected.

Fans who journeyed to Miami to see Lil Wayne perform at the Rolling Loud music festival were hit with a major bummer when Tunechi took to Twitter to tell them he wouldn't hit the stage.

The Carter V artist said security (not Rolling Loud) was insistent of patting him down and he refused to be policed in order to do his job.

To all my fans who came to see me at Rolling Loud, I’m sorry but I won’t be performing. The Festival Police (Not Rolling Loud) made it mandatory that I had to be policed and checked to get on the stadium grounds. I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job

"I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job," Weezy tweeted.

Wayne was reportedly set to hit the Audiomack Stage, at 10:55 p.m, with Travis Scott performing on the Loud Stage at 10:50 p.m. However, less than two hours before his slated performance, Lil Wayne pulled the plug.

Rolling Loud has been putting out fires all weekend. Prior to Wayne's removal, there were false reports of an active shooter on the grounds. Festival co-founder Tariq Cherif issued a statement refuting the claim.

"Shortly after 11 p.m. on Friday night, there was a disturbance that led a large group of fans to believe there was an active shooter within the festival grounds. The commotion resulted in these fans running out of the venue, some of whom were injured and/or scared in the process. Security and public authorities immediately sprung into action, established it was a false alarm and there was not an active shooter in the festival, and diffused the situation," Cherif's statement reads.

"Safety is #1 at Rolling Loud. We have hundreds of police officers and security guards hired to protect our fans. While we are upset this situation occurred, we are proud of the swift reaction of law enforcement to verify the area was secure."
