Police then arrested the five men and charged them for possession of marijuana and a gun charge. They were all later released after posting bond.

His September 2007 single ‘Crank That (Soulja Boy)’ reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and is featured on his debut studio album Souljaboytellem.com which was certified platinum.
