Soulja Boy Reportedly Arrested For Gun Possession

Officers were called to his home after he allegedly threatened people online with guns

Soulja Boy was reportedly arrested this morning (December 15) for a violation of probation after police found a gun in his home.

According to TMZ, police were called to the 26-year-old rapper’s L.A. home after receiving a tip that he had been “threatening people online with guns.” While searching the home, officers found a firearm, a spokesman for the LAPD confirmed to the Los Angeles Times. Soulja is currently on probation stemming from a 2014 arrest for illegally carrying a loaded gun. He took a plea deal in the case that includes 24 months of probation, during which he’s barred from owning a firearm.

The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star is also facing a lawsuit over an August Instagram video in which he threatened a man while waving a gun. Indeed, Soulja’s gotten into a bad habit of flaunting his weapons all over social media, so it’s not like he hadn’t given police enough evidence to work with. Lil Yachty, for one, had this to say once news of “the social media Al Capone’s” arrest broke today:
