Kodak Black claims he had a perfectly good reason for having several oxycodone pills when he was busted last weekend … his legal team insists he needs them to deal with serious pain.
Kodak’s attorney Bradford Cohen tells TMZ … the “Super Gremlin” rapper has battled chronic pain after getting shot in February during a scuffle in L.A. over Super Bowl weekend. Cohen says Kodak was prescribed pain pills to take as necessary to deal with that injury.

What’s more, prior to the shooting, Kodak alleged he was assaulted by guards during his stint in a Kentucky federal prison, before Donald Trump commuted his sentence and released him. We’re told he suffers ongoing pain from the attack and the meds help with that pain.
Cohen says he’s handed over proof to prosecutors that the pills were legally prescribed, in an effort to resolve the matter STAT.
As we reported last Saturday, Kodak was stopped by Florida Highway patrol after his illegal window tint alerted their radar, where they uncovered 31 pills.
