Ever since Kodak Black was released from jail earlier this month, he's been on a musical roll. Not only did he hop on Kyle's hit "iSpy," but he followed that up with a video for "First Day Out." This week, it was announced that he'd be heading back to court, but not for what you'd expect.

Bossipreports Kodak applied to have his name legally changed. Not his stage name of Kodak Black, but his government name Dieuson Octave. While that's a unique name, Kodak's got something even more interesting to be called: Bill Kahan Blanco. What does that mean? UOENO, and neither do we. Maybe he's paying homage to famed mathematician William Kahan? #Shrug.

Also, would this effect his son, King Khalid? Also, what bearing on his stage name will this new name change have?
