Kodak Black's longtime lawyer has defended his client after the rapper's ex made several explosive allegations against him—and he's claiming that he's ready to take legal action.

On Sunday (May 4), Bradford Cohen shared a post on social media addressing the allegations that Maranda Johnson, the mother of Kodak's daughter Queen Yuri and son Prince Kapri, made against Kodak. Johnson took to her Instagram Story earlier this week with a post calling out the rapper, claiming he was a "dead beat BD" who was emotionally and physically abusive. She also alleged that the rapper sent someone to throw acid at her while she was hosting an event.

Cohen called Johnson's allegations a "money grab," claiming she was "selfish" and peddling "made up stories." He added that Kodak would be suing her for defamation, as well as for what the attorney said was six figures' worth of damage she'd done to his client's property.

"Made up stories where we have evidence of Kodak not only paying and giving money for his children, but also buying gifts," Cohen wrote. "The rest is pure fiction from a very selfish young lady. I didn't want to comment on this young lady committing defamation which we will sue her for, but also for the over 150k worth of damage she did to 7 cars and smashing a window of the house that had his kids inside."

He added, "She fought another mother of kodaks young child hurt the child and the mother at a b day party that Kodak paid thousands of dollars for his daughter. It's really disgusting money grab, not allowing him to see his kids until he pays an ungodly sum of money. It is truly disgusting how fathers are treated as cash cows."

The attorney, a former contestant on Donald Trump's show The Celebrity Apprentice who had a major role in attaining Presidential pardons for both Kodak and Lil Wayne, closed out his caption by saying he had originally hoped to "stay on the sidelines" of issues between Kodak and Johnson, but that was now out of the question.

"I will have to show why you don't threaten my clients," he wrote.

Kodak first met Johnson in 2017. Their relationship was featured in the Netflix series WAGS to Riches, which follows the lives of the partners of established rappers and athletes.
