The 21-year-old Atlanta rapper, whose birth name is “DeAndre Cortez Way” but goes by the stage name of Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, was reported as having said via Twitter, “I’m innocent, man” as his bodyguards rushed him into a waiting car outside the bail bond company that helped him post a $10,000 bond. Soulja Boy was traveling with three bodyguards and a driver of the vehicle on Interstate 20, near the Alabama border at the time of the arrest for a broken tail light, per local police.
Police also claim that they found three pistols, a “substantial” amount of marijuana (around five ounces) and $46,000 in cash inside their rented Cadillac Escalade upon doing a routine traffic stop investigation. Per sources, Soulja Boy had apparently hired a limousine to drive himself and his friends to Mississippi. The men were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm and booked into the Carroll County jail.
Later on Tuesday night, the rapper reportedly took to Twitter to thank his fans as well as promote his new documentary "Soulja Boy: The Movie" that was also released that day. He had tweeted that he had missed ten interviews that day for his new movie! Soulja Boy then apologized to those companies and said he was sorry, saying, “you can see I had a lil situation. the show must go on.”
No further information has been posted as of yet about when his case will go to court.
