Given that there has been some wild news about Soulja Boy this year, no wonder many missed to hear that he was also arrested in March. Namely, first he claimed to have invented Drake, then he claimed to have “started this internet … I’m the reason why there’s a Lil Pump … I was the first artist on YouTube.” And then, somewhere between all these claims, he was also arrested when police found ammo in his house. Given that possessing ammunition allegedly violates his probation terms, he was accused of ignoring the rules. And this was not the first time he violated his probation, as he also did so in 2016 when police found two guns in his house.
When he was released from custody, he posted on Instagram: “I had the biggest comeback of 2018 and they try to lock me up, they try to hate on me…” he declared (via USA Today) “…I’m the hottest rapper in the game.”

According to TMZ, he was pulled over while riding through West Hollywood on his way to the 2019 Grammy Awards, and reportedly, “one of the men in the vehicle — not Thug — told police that he was in possession of a registered firearm, but upon further inspection … cops found the gun wasn’t registered in California, so the guy got arrested on the spot.” Eventually, Thug made it to Grammys in time.

Believe it or not, comedian Jordan Klepper was cuffed while doing his job. Namely, he was at a protest about undocumented immigrant students filming a bit for upcoming Comedy Central show. Then, about nine people who were ordered to leave the Board of Regents meeting in the Georgia Capitol Building refused to do so and thus, were arrested. Here’s what Klepper had to say about the incident: “I learned many things. Police cars are not built for lanky giraffe bodies was one. Another, there are good people fighting good fights across this land.”
