American rapper Soulja Boy was taken into custody early Sunday morning in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony firearm possession, police confirmed. The 33-year-old artist, born DeAndre Cortez Way, was arrested around 2:35am after officers conducting a traffic stop allegedly found him carrying a gun as a passenger in a vehicle in the Melrose district. Under California law, convicted felons are prohibited from owning firearms - the rapper has prior convictions including domestic violence and probation violations.
美国说唱歌手Soulja Boy周日凌晨在洛杉矶因涉嫌重罪持枪被警方拘留。这位33岁的艺人(本名德安德烈·科尔特斯·韦)在凌晨2:35左右被捕,当时警察在梅尔罗斯区进行交通检查时发现他作为车辆乘客携带枪支。根据加州法律,被判重罪者禁止持有枪支——这位说唱歌手此前有家庭暴力和违反缓刑规定等前科。
LAPD officers told CBS News the arrest occurred during a routine traffic stop when they spotted the firearm. Soulja Boy - whose 2007 single Crank That (Soulja Boy) topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks - was booked at Hollywood Division jail and released on $35,000 bail later Sunday. His attorney has not commented on the charges, which could carry up to three years in prison if convicted. The arrest comes months after the rapper boasted on Instagram about his gun collection, posting videos showing off multiple firearms including what appeared to be assault rifles.
洛杉矶警方告诉CBS新闻,逮捕发生在例行交通检查期间,当时他们发现了枪支。Soulja Boy——其2007年单曲《Crank That (Soulja Boy)》在公告牌百强单曲榜上蝉联冠军七周——被关押在好莱坞分局监狱,并于周日以3.5万美元保释金获释。他的律师尚未对这些指控发表评论,若罪名成立最高可判处三年监禁。此次逮捕发生在这位说唱歌手在Instagram上炫耀其枪支收藏数月后,他发布的视频展示了多支枪支,包括看似攻击性步枪的武器。
This isn't the rapper's first brush with the law. In 2019, he pleaded no contest to unlawfully possessing an assault weapon and was sentenced to three years probation. Last year, he was arrested for alleged probation violations after failing to complete court-ordered community service. Known for his flamboyant social media presence, Soulja Boy has over 13 million Instagram followers where he frequently posts videos with firearms - though he claims they're"just props". California has some of America's strictest gun laws, with mandatory background checks and a 10-day waiting period for purchases.
这不是这位说唱歌手第一次触犯法律。2019年,他对非法持有攻击性武器的指控表示不抗辩,被判三年缓刑。去年,他因未完成法院命令的社区服务而被指控违反缓刑规定被捕。以其浮夸的社交媒体形象闻名,Soulja Boy在Instagram上有超过1300万粉丝,经常发布与枪支有关的视频——尽管他声称这些"只是道具"。加州拥有美国最严格的枪支法律之一,包括强制背景调查和10天的购买等待期。
