Rapper Soulja Boy, 23, was arrested early Wednesday morning in Los Angeles for suspicion of being in possession of a loaded gun. The arrest took place during a traffic stop early in the morning.
Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was the passenger in a car that had run through a stop sign. LAPD officer Wendy Reyes told the LA Times that he was arrested for possession of a concealed weapon at about 4 a.m. in Granada Hills when the car’s driver, Abrahim Mustafa, 23, ran through a stop sign. Mustafa was also driving without a license.
MTV News reports that Way was released Wednesday afternoon with a $35,000 bail and is to appear in court on Feb. 20. Los Angeles police would not confirm whether the weapon was a loaded gun or not.
This was not Soulja Boy’s first time being arrested. In 2011, he was arrested with similar charges in Georgia for gun and drug possession.
