Since being arrested on federal gun charges in Florida earlier this month, Kodak Black has faced a mountain of legal trouble. The rapper was already dealing with legal issues stemming from a criminal sexual conduct case from 2016, and now, he’s asking the judge presiding over it if he can be released to deal with the case.

Black has formally requested that a judge grant him a supervised release from jail so he can appear in a South Carolina courtroom to stand trial for a criminal sexual conduct case. However, the federal authorities want to keep Kodak detained in Miami, where he’s locked up for allegedly lying on a firearm application in order to obtain guns.
