Soulja Boy
Soulja Boy had 10 big interviews lined up today to promote his new documentary … instead, he’s locked up in jail … and it just might be the best thing that could have ever happened for the flick.

In case you weren’t aware — the documentary “Soulja Boy: The Movie” is being released on DVD today, and the rapper was supposed to spend the day pushing the movie during plastic-smile interviews with various media outlets.

Problem is … Soulja’s still locked up in a Georgia jail on marijuana possession charges … and we’re told, his PR team is going haywire trying to figure out a new marketing strategy on the fly.

But their work may already be done … because truth is, Soulja’s movie wouldn’t have gotten a fraction of the attention it did today if he wasn’t sitting in a jail cell … with his mug shot plastered all over the Internet.

The director behind the project — Peter Spirer — tells us, “I’m not sure how this will affect the movie … Hopefully he gets out from this situation to get his movie out everywhere like he wanted.”

Still, we gotta ask …
