In a plot twist that sounds like a B-movie script, rapper Soulja Boy found himself in hot water after a late-night traffic stop turned into a legal nightmare.

The 35-year-old artist, known for his viral 2007 hit “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” was reportedly arrested in the early morning hours on suspicion of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

A History of Legal Troubles

This isn’t Soulja Boy’s first rodeo with the legal system. Just months earlier, he was ordered to pay a staggering $4 million in damages after being found liable for sexually assaulting and abusing a former assistant. The rapper’s legal challenges seem to be mounting faster than his music streams.

The Arrest Details

According to police reports, the incident occurred around 2:35 a.m. when Soulja Boy was a passenger during a traffic stop. By 6 a.m., he was booked into the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division. The specifics of what triggered the traffic stop remain shrouded in mystery, with law enforcement keeping tight-lipped about the additional details.

Career and Controversy

Once a Grammy-nominated artist known for his infectious dance track, Soulja Boy’s recent years have been marked more by controversy than musical achievements. From legal battles to questionable business ventures, the rapper continues to make headlines for reasons far removed from his chart-topping days.
