Soulja Boy arrested

Soulja Boy has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of drugs possession. The 21-year-old rapper was detained by police in Temple, Georgia, this morning when the officials discovered drugs, weapons and money in a vehicle he was traveling in with four other people.

According to gossip website TMZ, police found a “substantial amount” of marijuana and money inside the car that came to the value of around $70,000.
 
The officials — who are thought to have originally pulled the vehicle over for a traffic violation before discovering the drugs — are investigating whether the Crank That hitmaker or his traveling companions were in possession of licenses for the weapons.
 
It is not the first time Soulja Boy — whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way –- has been in trouble with police. He was arrested in 2009 and charged with obstruction after an incident at a video shoot in Georgia.
 
The rapper — who is working on his fourth studio album Respect My Hustle — shot to fame in 2007 when his single Crank That reached number one.
 
Soulja Boy’s recent arrest comes as a DVD of Soulja Boy: The Movie was released today.
