Soulja Boy arrested for weapons charge during traffic stop

Soulja Boy found themselves in hot water during an early morning traffic stop in Los Angeles. The arrest occurred due to suspicion of the rapper, also known as DeAndre Cortez Way, being a convicted felon with a firearm. This incident took place at 2:35 a.m., resulting in Soulja Boy being booked into the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division jail just after 6 a.m. Unfortunately, we don’t have more details on what led to the stop and who else was involved in the scenario at this time.

For those unfamiliar with Soulja Boy, they made a big splash in the music industry with the 2007 hit single, “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” which soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the rapper a Grammy nomination for best rap song. However, it’s worth noting that Soulja Boy faced a different kind of spotlight earlier this year, as they were ordered to pay over 4 million dollars in damages after being found liable for various offenses, including sexual assault and mistreatment towards a former assistant.

Though we reached out to Way’s representative for a comment, no response was provided to address this incident. Stay tuned for updates as more information may become available. We wish Soulja Boy the best in navigating this challenging situation.
