A judge ordered Kodak Black to attend a 30-day drug treatment program after his performance at Rolling Loud.

Rolling Loud took place in California this weekend and Kodak Black delivered an excellent set. The rapper appeared on stage to deliver his biggest hit records without little issues. However, he almost beat a concertgoer with a belt for throwing water on him. But besides his brief issue with a fan, the entire set went down without a hitch. Yak breezed through hit records like “Super Gremlin” and more. Fans were happy, as was his team, as he crushed his performance ahead of his stint in rehab.

According to TMZ, Kodak Black's team ensured his sobriety throughout the event. His attorney confirmed a number of personnel attended the festival and dedicated their time to keeping Kodak Black away from negative influences. A physician was around who observed Yak’s eating habits while another individual sat by the rapper throughout the entire day to make sure he didn’t touch any substances. Additionally, the rapper veered clear of the after-party, which is apparently quite normal for Yak.

Last week, a Florida judge ordered Kodak Black to enter 30 days of rehab after he tested positive for fentanyl. The rapper was expected to do two drug tests in February as part of his conditions related to a drug bust last summer, though he failedto appear for both. However, the fentanyl found in his system breached his conditions. Though the lawyer successfully argued that it was likely a mistake in the lab, the judge agreed to allow Yak to enter a 30-day rehab program after his performance at Rolling Loud.

Yak’s conditions stem from his arrest last July for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and drug trafficking. Police found over 30 pills of oxycodone in his car after he was pulled over in Florida. The rapper posted $75K bond while his attorney, Bradford Cohen, said that the arrest wasn’t exactly what it seemed. “There are facts and circumstances that give rise to a defense, especially in this case,” Cohen said.
