(Reuters) - Rapper Soulja Boy was arrested on drug and weapons charges on Tuesday after a traffic stop in Georgia, police said.

The 21-year-old entertainer, whose given name is DeAndre Cortez Way, and four crew members traveling in a Cadillac Escalade were pulled over in Temple, Georgia on Interstate 20 near the Alabama line, police spokeswoman Dana Rampy said.

Police discovered marijuana, pistols and cash inside the car after a "routine traffic stop," Rampy said. She declined to disclose the amount of marijuana or money.

The rapper, three bodyguards and a driver each were arrested on felony charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm, Rampy said.

All five men were booked into the Carroll County jail.

A puppy found in the car has been turned over to relatives of the driver, Rampy said.

Soulja Boy first gained fame with online postings of his songs and his "Crank That" dance demonstration.

Last month, he apologized for lyrics in a song called "Let's Be Real" that offended some U.S. Army soldiers. In a video posted online for the song, Soulja Boy rapped the lyrics "Fuck the FBI and fuck all the Army troops/Fighting for what?/Bitch be your own man."

Media outlets reported that stores run by the military would not carry his new album because of the song.

That's what his behind get. Hasnt anyone learned from TI?

I knew this would happen eventually.

DeAndre Cortez Way is not a name you wanna have in prison when you're 5 foot nothing and 100 and nothing. Jus sayin

How come their is always something tied into jailtime with rappers? TI gets caught, released, put back, etc...every other day, and happens to have a reality show, and the list goes on, Lil Kim a show about coming out of jail, lil wayne the same shit, honestly i dont care if this is real or some fake shit, he's a wack ass rapper that doesnt deserve to be spit on by the likes of LL and DMC, its a shame they have to be named in the same genre.

Racism? I don't know for real though. It does strike me as odd as fuck though.

Somehow they still care about proving street cred I guess? You always notice how much more happier they are after they have served some time in jail. It's like popping their cherry or something. Assbackwards.

True. I definitely think they want "street cred" but an arrest record is never enough. You actually have to be REAL. If not, you're exposed more than others. How would anyone think Soulja had enough street cred as someone like Pac, who openly admired Kate Bush and Nirvana as much as he did Spice 1 and Public Enemy? Everybody gets arrested anyway!

Speaking of BET (going to change the subject for a min.), have any of you seen the new sitcom with Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Tracee Ellis Ross called "Reed Between the Lines"? I took a chance and watched last week and it's sooooooooo not funny. I want to like it, lawd knows I do because it seems like someone had a great concept but the show is in desperate need of new writers. Right now it just seems like a "Cosby Show" for the 21 century.

I didn't watch it but I guess they trying to put something "postive" on the channel . Malcolm said it is supposed to be like the cosby show .. many comments online were negative. I don't think that show will last long.
