Kodak Black‘s sweet tooth got the best of him in court this week when the Florida rapper was forced to appear following a failed drug test amid his current probation.
In video captured from inside the courtroom on Tuesday (February 28), Yak is seen thanking the judge as the room adjourns – but then awkwardly lingering for a moment as he seemingly contemplates his next move.
After a few beats, he finally decided to pop the question: “I can get another Jolly Rancher? Please?”
The judge was more than happy to oblige and even let out a laugh while doing so.

Kodak Black and his legal team appeared in the Broward County courtroom to explain what happened with the failed random mandatory drug test from earlier this month. According to Yak’s lawyer, the rapper was out of town when he was asked to do the first test, and he even said the second test he took was a mix-up.
“There’s just so much with this that’s unjust and not right about this situation,” Kodak Black said during the hearing. “Not only am I denying it, but I’m hurt about it too because my character is being assassinated and I can’t speak about all that because I don’t wanna make the story bigger than what it is … All the good deeds, all the good things I do never goes viral and I don’t know why.”
Authorities claimed Kodak failed to submit to random drug and alcohol testing on February 3. He managed to take the tests on February 8, but they came out positive for Fentanyl. A judge revoked Yak’s release and signed a warrant for his arrest.
During Tuesday’s appearance, Kodak’s legal team argued their client had never tested positive for Fentanyl and has been seeking treatment for addiction to other drugs. Kodak’s lawyer Bradford Cohen claimed the lab might have mixed up his urine sample due to a star-struck employee handling the tests.
The employee testified it was probable that an error in the tests could’ve been made. Judge Barbara Duffy took note and told Kodak a hair sample could be taken to determine whether he had drugs in his system – but he refused.
He has since been ordered to enter rehab for 30 days.
