Rapper Kodak Black secretly recorded apology from Florida public official, then posted it for the world to see

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Renowned rapper Kodak Black caused a commotion this week when he secretly recorded a public official apologizing to him over the phone.

Broward County Commissioner Mark Bogen called the rapper Monday to apologize for opposing a proclamation in honor of Black’s charitable work. Bogen said he was reacting to Black’s well-publicized run-ins with the law and didn’t realize what good he had done.

What Bogen didn’t know is that Black was recording the conversation and then posted a 3-minute, 40-second video for his 10.5 million followers on Instagram.

It’s illegal in Florida to record someone without their permission, although it’s not clear where Black was at the time. Raised in Pompano Beach, he received the proclamation Friday while visiting Broward County for his birthday.

Although Black is on probation in connection with a sexual assault case, there seems little chance he’ll be prosecuted for the recording. The Broward State Attorney’s Office did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

The video was removed from Instagram on Tuesday after receiving a half-million views. Black’s lawyer did not respond to questions about why the video was removed.

Some of the rapper’s Instagram followers mocked Bogen’s apology before the video was taken down.

“plzzz mr Kodak I’m srry,” one wrote.

“Bruh sound scared [as expletive],” wrote another referring to Bogen.

Commissioner Dale Holness issued the proclamation, which lists several of Black’s contributions. They include paying college costs for the three children of two FBI agents killed in a raid in Sunrise; funeral costs of a South Carolina police officer; and $100,000 to Nova Southeastern University’s law school in memory of Meadow Pollack, who was killed in the Parkland high school shooting in 2018.

But Black’s criminal record touched off Bogen’s initial opposition.

Black, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, is on probation after he pleaded guilty in April to assault and battery in a sex assault case in which he was accused of attacking a teenage girl in a South Carolina hotel room. He received a suspended 10-year sentence and 18 months’ probation.

Space nuclear power is nearing critical mass as the final frontier’s next frontier

George Sowers, a space industry veteran who’s now an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines, has run the numbers on the power requirements for a lunar operation that would mine polar ice to produce fuel as well as drinkable water and breathable air for future astronauts. He figures it would take a 2-megawatt nuclear power plant to convert the H2O into hydrogen and oxygen.

Nuclear power is also being studied for in-space propulsion: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is one of the companies working on a Pentagon project aimed at demonstrating a nuclear thermal propulsion system beyond low Earth orbit in 2025. (Nuclear thermal propulsion systems generate heat to drive rocket propellant, while nuclear electric propulsion systems generate electricity for ion thrusters.)

The project is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, and is known as the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations, or DRACO. Blue Origin’s commercial partners in DRACO are General Atomics, which will design the nuclear reactor; and Lockheed Martin, which will work with Blue Origin on the spacecraft concept.

During DRACO’s initial 18-month design phase, General Atomics is due to get $22.2 million, while Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin have been awarded $2.5 million and $2.9 million respectively. DARPA will issue separate solicitations for future phases.

DARPA is interested in nuclear thermal propulsion because it promises to be as much as five times more efficient than traditional chemical propulsion, with a thrust-to-weight ratio that’s 10,000 times greater than electric propulsion systems.
