Black, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, 21, was arrested on gun and drug charges Wednesday near Niagara Falls, New York, while trying to enter the US from Canada, New York State Police said.

Kapri and three others were detained by US Border and Customs Protection before being arrested by police.

Kapri faces allegations of criminal possession of a weapon second degree and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Officer James O'Callaghan, a public information officer for Troop A of the New York State Police, told CNN a Glock 9mm pistol was undeclared in their Cadillac Escalade at the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge.

CNN has reached out to Black's representative for comment.

Kapri was arraigned at a court in the town of Lewiston and remanded to Niagara County Jail on $20,000/$40,000 cash bond.

He posted bail on Thursday, CNN affiliate WKBW reported. A video showed him walking to a parking lot, apparently shielding his face with a fan of cash.

The singer has a court date set for next month.

He was expected to perform in Boston at The House of Blues on Wednesday.

Kapri was raised in Pompano Beach, Florida. His breakout hit "Tunnel Vision" became his first top 10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

He has been arrested multiple times and was indicted by a grand jury in South Carolina in 2016, accused of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. His trial, which was expected to take place this month, was continued.

A More In Depth Look At Kim And Kanye's Insane Bathroom - BuzzFeed

But recent videos and things have highlighted her bathroom, so it's time we talk specifically about that.

First of all, it's ridiculously large. Probably smaller than a tennis court but def bigger than a racquetball court.

This is the tub. It's square and pointy and large.

These are the showers. There are two of them, along with a shower bench.

The ceilings are giant lightboxes. So basically the whole ceiling is one big lamp.

There's also a bathroom patio.

And here are two random chairs to sit in and watch people wash their face.

Here's a giant wall mirror for taking pictures with.

And then of course here are the sinks.

The sinks are in the middle of the room because it's ~cooler~ and ~different~ that way.

The sinks work, btw, even though from afar they just look like counters with faucets as decorations.

So yeah, that's the bathroom!

No word however on where they pee.

Rapper Kodak Black and three others were arrested after they allegedly tried crossing the U.S.-Canada border near Buffalo with guns and marijuana, officials said Thursday.

The artist — born Bill Kapri — was a no-show for concerts in Boston on Wednesday night, after he was stopped at the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge hours earlier, authorities said.

Kodak, 21, and Jeantony Saintmelus, 22, were booked on suspicion of criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of marijuana, state police said. Stetson J. President, 24, and Madarrow D. Smith, 20, were booked for alleged criminal possession of a weapon.

“During the initial inspection, the U.S. citizens admitted to being in possession of marijuana and firearms,” according to a statement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “During a secondary inspection, it was revealed that the weapons were possessed unlawfully in New York State and subsequently the marijuana, firearms and subjects were turned over to the New York State Police for further processing.”

Kodak was behind the wheel of a Cadillac Escalade, with a temporary California registration, when he was stopped. The gun in the Cadillac was a Glock 9mm pistol, state police said.

Saintmelus was driving a Porche, alongside Kodak’s Escalade, and there were three guns and marijuana found inside that car, police said.

The arrests caused Kodak to miss shows at the House of Blues in Boston on Wednesday night.

Kodak was widely criticized earlier this month after he publicly declared his intentions of romantically pursuing the grieving girlfriend of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle.

His comments were met with swift backlash, including from rappers The Game and T.I. and Justin Credible, a disc jockey at Los Angeles radio station Power 106, who pledged to no longer play Kodak's music.

Kodak issued a tepid apology to Lauren London, who has a son with Hussle.

“If I disrespected you, Lauren London, in any shape or form, I'm sorry, even though I didn't," he said.
