Soulja Boy "Sorry" After Arrest

The rapper apologises to his fans.

Rapper Soulja Boy has apologised to fans after he was released on bail following his arrest in Georgia on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old hip-hop star - real name DeAndre Cortez Way - was detained on suspicion of drug possession after cops stopped and searched the car he was travelling in.

The officers allegedly found marijuana, cash and a number of guns inside the vehicle.

The rapper was taken to Caroll County Jail along with four other men and they were all booked for marijuana possession and a gun charge, according to TMZ.com. They were later released after posting a bail bond.

Following his release, Soulja Boy took to his Twitter.com page to tell fans about the incident, revealing the arrest forced him to miss a number of interviews to promote the DVD release of Soulja Boy - The Movie.

He also thanked his supporters who waited for him outside the jail.

In a series of posts, he writes, "Thank you and I'm sorry. Love you forever, seeing your letters and you standing outside that jail made me feel the love.

"My fans r the best... I missed 10 interviews today for my new movie! To those companies I'm sorry! You can see I had a lil situation.

"The show must go on... Aye can I have a real n**** moment? My fans was deep as f*** outside that jail man I'm sorry!!! That's love!"
