Soulja Boy has been sentenced to 240 days in jail and 265 days of community service for violating probation, TMZ reports. The rapper was arrested last month on the charge after police reportedly found ammunition in his California home. Soulja Boy—who has been in a Los Angeles jail since April 11, according to records viewed by Pitchfork—will be given credit for 40 days time served, TMZ reports. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Soulja Boy.
Soulja Boy’s probation violation stems from a December 2014 conviction for carrying a loaded firearm in public. He was sentenced to 24 months of probation, which he was arrested for violating in December 2016 after police said they found a gun in his home. The next month, Soulja Boy was charged with two felonies and one misdemeanor stemming from the arrest. In March 2017, he was convicted on one of the felonies and given five years of probation.
