Soulja Boy Arrested In Georgia On Weed, Gun Charges

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy is in trouble with the law after getting caught with marijuana.

According to TMZ.com, the 21-year-old was caught with four other men in a car in Temple, Georgia.

Police decided to conduct a search when they noticed the smell of marijuana emanating from the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle turned up a large amount of marijuana, $70,000 in cash, and guns.

Police immediately arrested Soulja Boy, born DeAndre Cortez Way. Soulja Boy is currently being held in the Carroll City jail. In February 2010, Soulja Boy was given 12 months probation, over an incident in Henry County, Georgia.

The rapper was among a group of about 40 people who fled from police while shooting a video in an abandoned house.

Ironically, the rapper’s arrest comes on the same day as the release of his new autobiographical film, Soulja Boy: The Movie, featuring Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Hurricane Chris, and others.

DMX Hires New Managers; Warns Against Fraudulent Bookings

(AllHipHop News) Rapper DMX has issued a statement after missing several shows, due to confusion as to who is representing him in his professional career.

According to the rapper, people have been contacting his previous managers, without knowing that he has fired them all and has hired a new team to represent him.

“I fired my old management team the day I got out of prison,” DMX told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “My money and career have been sabotaged for long enough. Makin’ music and performing for my fans, that’s what I’m doin’ now. The Dog is back and I’ve cut these thieves out of my life.”

According to the press release, DMX is now being represented by Jason Fowler of J-Mike Management & Entertainment, based in Mesa, Arizona.

Fowler said that he would pursue legal action against anyone that accepted deposits on behalf of DMX.

“We’re hearing reports of people making deposits for shows, only to find out that it was a fraud,” Jason Fowler said. “All bookings must be through his new management team, because DMX is not responsible for any transactions that are not through J-Mike Management & Entertainment.”

DMX is working on a new album that is slated to be released this winter.

The rapper is also preparing to launch a tour.
