Soulja Boy has maintained his innocence after being arrested for alleged possession of drugs and weapons.
The 21-year-old rapper - whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way - was arrested after police in Temple, Georgia, found drugs and weapons in a car he was riding in along with four other people - but he has now been released from custody after posting a $10,000 bail.
Speaking to a group of fans, CBS Atlanta quoted the Crank That hitmaker as saying: "I'm innocent, man. I love you all. I just want you'll to know I'm innocent."
Police officers also reportedly confiscated his puppy when he was arrested, but the pooch has been returned following his release.
The hip-hop star has since taken to twitter to thank his 3.1 million followers on the social networking site.
