Soulja Boy was taken into custody yesterday after Los Angeles police raided the rappers home. Upon searching, the police found a firearm within the home, which was a violation of Soulja Boy’s probation stemming from similar gun charges in 2014. Within less than 24hrs of the arrest, the “Crank That” rapper posted $35,000 bail, and has since been released from custody. Reports from TMZ suggest police received a tip from Crime Stoppers which lead to the initial raid.

Many, including TMZ, have begun speculating the raid and arrest are a result of Soulja’s recent activity on social media where the 26-year old has been showing off several fire arms and making numerous violent threats. Recently, Soulja Boy has managed to keep himself relevant by starting, or escalating several beefs with Lil Yachty, Shia LaBeouf, and Migos’ Quavo. For the most part, those on the receiving end of Soulja’s threats have either laughed it off or not responded all together. Check out some of the reactions to Soulja’s recent arrest.

Finally the Feds put the social media Al Capone to rest. For Now Atleast.

Before the summer, Soulja Boy proclaimed a new deal with World Poker Fund for $400 million (in possible stock growth), which was discovered to be currently worth no more than $2.5 million. It was initially reported that this deal was struck based on Soulja Boy’s social media influence. Its doubtful they meant toting an AK-47 and making death threats on Instagram was part of the plan.

The new documentary, LoveTrue explores the idea of “True Love” by following three dysfunctional real-life relationships as they unfold in distant corners of the United States. Premiering at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, the film is directed by Alma Har’el and executive produced by actor, Shia LaBeouf.

“Alma is a brilliant filmmaker who is using psychodrama as a platform for healing and insight,” LaBeouf said in a statement. “She makes you feel safe, learns of your life, shares hers with you. She encourages spontaneous creativity and holds your hand as you address your personal problems. Then she guides you as you externalize your real-life situations or fantasies, dreams, inner mental processes creatively. She really gives a s–t about people.”

The project features a hypnotic original score from Flying Lotus. LoveTrue follows three complex real-life relationships as they unfold in three corners of the country — Alaska, Hawaii, and New York City — in three very different ways.

The film explores how each relationship contends with the various challenges that life poses, and how their love fades and brightens over time.  Check out the trailer above.
