Federal prosecutors are saying the Florida rapper lied on said applications in a two-count indictment that was filed in the Southern District of Florida. Prosecutors are alleging that Kodak lied on two separate occasions and was able to purchase guns after completing one of the applications (Firearms Transaction Record a.k.a. Form 4473). The alleged lie? Kodak claimed he was not under indictment by checking the "no" box on the form. The Dying to Live rapper was indicted for sexually assaulting a teenage girl in 2016. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.Â
