Soulja Boy Arrested in Los Angeles for Gun Possession
LOS ANGELES – Famous rapper Soulja Boy was arrested early Sunday morning after a traffic stop in Los Angeles.
According to foreign media, the 35-year-old artist, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was taken into custody on suspicion of having a gun while being a convicted felon. The arrest happened around 2:35 a.m., and he was booked into jail at the LAPD Wilshire Division around 6 a.m.
Police said Soulja Boy was a passenger in the car, but they did not share more details. His team has not yet made a public statement.
This is not the first time Soulja Boy has faced legal trouble. He became famous in 2007 with the hit song Crank That (Soulja Boy), which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and got him a Grammy nomination.
Earlier this year, in April, a court ordered the rapper to pay $4 million in damages after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting and abusing a former assistant.
