In March 2019, Soulja Boy went to see his probation officer in a visit that would ultimately end with the rapper in handcuffs. Per TMZ, the rapper got arrested when police executed a search warrant on his home, allegedly finding ammunition in the process — a major violation of his probation. 

The rapper's probation stems from a 2014 arrest for firearm possession, where it was ruled that the rapper can no longer possess any form of guns or ammunition. He was ultimately sentenced to 240 days in jail (with 40 days credited) plus "265 days of community service," according to E! News. Fred Minassian, the rapper's attorney, expressed gratitude toward the judge, stating, "The judge initially indicated that he would be sentenced for two years. We're very grateful the judge sentenced him to 240 days." He entered prison in April 2019 and was released that July.
