Soulja Boy In Jail For Documentary Release

Posted: October 18, 2011 in: Soulja Boy | By: Jason |

Soulja Boy had ten big interviews lined up for today, as his new documentary is close to it's rlease date, but instead the rapper ended up in jail. With "Soulja Boy: The Movie" set to be released on DVD today, he is supposed to be doing a lot of press to promote it but being locked up still in Georgia on marijuana charges, Soulja Boy's PR is going nuts.

If you believe that all press is good press, then being locked up is probably a good thing for Soulja Boy as there is no way he would be getting the attention he is now, if he wasn't locked up.

"I'm not sure how this will affect the movie … Hopefully he gets out from this situation to get his movie out everywhere like he wanted." (Peter Spirer, Director)

UPDATE: (NEWS UPDATE FROM TMZ)

The weed and the gun discovered during Soulja Boy's arrest this morning were inside a briefcase … which allegedly belongs to the rapper … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
