Skater rapper Soulja Boy found himself in trouble early Sunday morning after Los Angeles police say they discovered a firearm during a routine traffic stop.
According to reports, the SODMG boss was riding as a passenger when the vehicle was pulled over at around 2:30 AM. Officers reportedly noticed a gun inside the car, leading to Soulja Boy’s arrest. He was booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Authorities haven’t revealed what led to the stop, and there’s still no word on whether the driver or any other passengers were involved.
Just hours before the arrest, Soulja Boy was out celebrating. He posted several videos on Instagram from a birthday party at Poppy, a well-known Los Angeles nightclub.
This isn’t the first time Soulja Boy has had legal issues involving firearms. His history with law enforcement is no secret, but the details around this incident are still developing.
Police have not released more information about the weapon found in the vehicle, and it remains unclear if charges will be formally filed.
NBC Los Angeles was the first to break the news of the arrest. So far, there’s been no response from Soulja Boy’s team or legal representatives. Fans are keeping an eye on the situation, hoping for more clarity in the coming days.
