Soulja Boy (DeAndre Cortez Way) was arrested early this morning for drug possession after the police found a "substantial amount" of marijuana, guns, and cash ($70,000) inside his car during a routine traffic stop in Georgia. The hip-hop star was a passenger in the rented Cadillac Escalade and was taken into custody shortly after police discovered the drugs and weapons. The authorities are are investigating whether any of the men had licenses to have any of the firearms, but sadly that seems to be the least of Soulja Boy's worries right now. According to the Sheriff's Office, the rapper was charged with marijuana possession and intent to distribute, so he could be looking to serve some real jail time in the near future. His past criminal record probably won't help matters either since this isn't the first time Soulja's had a problem with the law. In October 2009, he was arrested after cops caught him partying in an abandoned house. He was charged with one count of misdemeanor obstruction for running from the police.
In an odd coincidence (or the worst PR stunt in history), the artist's movie, Soulja Boy--The Move, was released today on DVD. The documentary examines the rapper's life along with his rise to fame and features interviews with his family and close friends. With any luck, he'll be able to use all the proceeds to make bail so he too can be "released." Although Hollywood stars tend to have slightly altered sentences when it comes to the law. Perhaps Lindsay Lohan can give him the name of her lawyer since she's doing a rather impressive job of continually bailing the actress out of trouble.
