Florida rapper Kodak Black was arrested on drug charges after getting pulled over for a traffic stop. Though he's been pretty vocal about the incident on his social media accounts he recently deleted Instagram.

This comes a week after the footage of his arrest went viral. A fan account published a clip that gained 25.5K views online, the clip shows the artist getting a pat down from the cops and pleading for them to wait for his brother and mom to arrive.

"My brother was driving...please have them come over here," the rapper says to the police in the clip.

Users commenting on the post wondered what the cause behind the arrest was if the rapper wasn't even behind the wheel.

The Floridian and his family were originally stopped for having windows that were too tinted for the legal shade in the state and an expired tag.

Although he deleted Insta, the "Super Gremlin" rap star still has an active Twitter account. On July 26 he published his thoughts about his arrest and claimed he was being "racially profiled."

"No way I should be getting harassed bout my tag being expired, that’s no reason to even search my car in the first place and going to jail about having my medication in the car is insane," he added in another tweet.

So, if fans are looking for more of the rapper's thoughts on the incident they'll have to wait for him to either reactivate or settle for Twitter

In the meantime, the rapper has been busy promoting new songs and music videos, many of which he filmed in his hometown in the Sunshine State. He even recently collaborated with Orlando's very own, Hotboii.
