Soulja Boy sings 'first day out' as he celebrates his release from police custody. He was arrested in Los Angeles over the weekend on suspicion of felony weapons possession.

This isn’t Soulja Boy’s first run-in with firearm-related charges. Back in 2014, he was convicted for carrying a loaded weapon. More recently, the 34-year-old artist has been entangled in multiple legal battles, including a 2025 civil trial in which a jury found him liable for rape, sexual battery, and emotional distress.

The rapper, whose legal name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested early Sunday morning on suspicion of possession of a firearm while being a felon.
