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!"
