- Kodak Black is suing the prison facility he is in for denying him his right to practice his religion.
- While in prison Kodak became a Black Hebrew Israelite.
- He changed his name to Bill Kahen Blanco. His middle name is an alternative spelling of 'Kohen.' Kohen means Jewish priest.
- He is suing the prison because they will not let him consult with a Rabbi.
- While in-person visits with spiritual leaders were placed on hold due to COVID-19, it is unclear if phone consultations with spiritual leaders are also on hold.
- He would be suing under the First Amendment right to practice religion.
