Soulja Boy Arrested on Weapons Charge During Los Angeles Traffic Stop

Soulja Boy has found himself in more legal trouble.

The “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” hitmaker (real name DeAndre Cortez Way) was arrested on a weapons charge during a traffic stop in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, E! News has confirmed.

The incident happened just after 2:30 a.m. on August 3 when police made a traffic stop near the intersection of Melrose Ave and Genesee Ave during which Soulja Boy, a passenger in the car, was detained and subsequently arrested for carrying a firearm as a convicted felon, the Los Angeles Police Department stated.

The 35-year-old was then booked just after 6 a.m. at the LAPD Metropolitan Detention Center, according to inmate records provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. It’s unclear if Soulja Boy has since been released or if he is still in custody.

E! News has reached out to Soulja Boy’s rep for comment and has yet to hear back.
