Studio City (91604) – Shocking Turn: Soulja Boy Arrested on Weapons Charge in Los Angeles – DEVELOPING STORY

Studio City (91604) – Hip-hop artist and entrepreneur Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested late Monday evening in Los Angeles on a weapons-related charge, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry and his fanbase. The arrest occurred during a routine traffic stop in Studio City, where Los Angeles Police Department officers allegedly found a loaded firearm in the rapper’s vehicle, in violation of his probation terms.

According to LAPD officials, Soulja Boy was detained around 10:40 PM near Ventura Boulevard. The rapper is currently on probation from a 2019 weapons case and is prohibited from possessing firearms. Officers on the scene confirmed that the weapon found was a semi-automatic handgun, though it was not brandished during the stop.

The 34-year-old artist, known for hits like Crank That (Soulja Boy), was taken into custody without resistance and later booked at the Van Nuys jail facility. As of Tuesday morning, he has since posted bail and been released. Legal experts suggest this arrest could result in a potential probation violation hearing, and possibly jail time, depending on the outcome of the investigation.

His legal team has not yet released a formal statement, though sources close to the artist say he intends to “fully cooperate” with authorities.
