Soulja Boy, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested on Sunday local time by the police in Los Angeles.

This is not the first time the now 35-year-old artist has gotten into trouble with the law. In April this year, he was sentenced to pay damages of 4 million dollars after sexual abuse against one of his former assistants.

In 2019, Soulja Boy was sentenced to prison for violating his probation. As early as 2014, he was sentenced to probation after being arrested by the police when he was carrying a loaded weapon in a car.

Soulja Boy got a huge hit in 2007 with his debut single "Crank that".
