Soulja Boy has been arrested on gun charges.

The rapper was detained in San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles for reportedly possessing a loaded gun.

The 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)' man got into hot water when police pulled over a car he was a passenger in at 4am on Wednesday (January 22).

However, cops discovered that he was seemingly in possession of a loaded gun.

Soulja Boy - real name DeAndre Cortez Way - has reportedly been released on bail.

The American was also arrested in 2011 in Georgia after police found weapons and marijuana in his car.

After that arrest, Soulja Boy tweeted: "Thank you and I'm sorry. Love you forever, seeing your letters and you standing outside that jail made me feel the love. My fans r the best... I missed 10 interviews today for my new movie! To those companies I'm sorry!

"You can see I had a lil situation. The show must go on... Aye can I have a real n**ga moment? My fans was deep as f**k outside that jail man I'm sorry!!! That's love!"
