Kodak Black has been sentenced to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to federal weapons charges.

According to TMZ, the Wake Up In The Sky rapper has been handed more than three years behind bars, as well as a further three years of supervised release.

The 22-year-old was arrested back in May at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami, and charged with two counts of ‘making a false statement in connection with the acquisition or attempted acquisition of a firearm’.

While the maximum penalty is 10 years in jail and a $250,000 (£194k) fine, the publication states he was given a lighter sentence as part of a plea arrangement.

His lawyer added: ‘Kodak’s been sentenced to nearly four years in prison after he pled guilty in his federal gun case back in August.

‘Kodak’s also been sentenced to three years of supervised release.’

Kodak – real name Bill Kapri – confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing throwback photos of himself posing in a prison cell.

And the rapper told his 8.4million followers he would be ‘calling shots from the box’.

Alongside two uploads, he wrote: ‘Hold It Down While I’m On Lock. Calling Shots From The Box #Literally.’

Fans flooded the comments with advice, begging him to keep his ‘head up’.

‘Keep yo head up bro (sic),’ one penned. ‘We waiting on you & you know what’s up on my end!! Free you!!’

While another suggested: ‘Do them years wisely, read and educate yourself so you don’t end up back in there.’

‘Free da MAIN SNIPPA…,’ a follower added. ‘You’ll be back out here soon it ain’t nun (sic).’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Kodak’s reps for a comment.
