It's not known if the rapper, whose real name is now Bill Kapri, was one of the first two inmates involved, or if he joined in the fight after it started.

Kapri pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges and was in the detention center as he awaits sentencing scheduled for Nov. 13. The rapper could face up to eight years in prison.

Prosecutors originally charged Black with crimes including falsifying information on federal forms to buy four firearms from a Miami-area gun shop on two separate occasions. 

Authorities said one of the guns was found at the scene of a March shooting in Pompano Beach.
