Rapper Soulja Boy almost died after he got caught in heavy California rain on Saturday night, Jan. 5.

Soulja tweeted on Sunday, Jan. 6, about his terrifying ordeal, "Was involved in a very very bad car accident last night due to a flash flood and mud slide."
An hour later, the star, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, added, "My car got stuck too almost went into the ocean."
"I still haven't got my car back it's stuck in the water in the middle of the mud slide/flood."
Also on Sunday, the wealthy "Crank That" singer, 28, tweeted, "Thank God for another day, with new opportunities & blessings."
He posted a clip of his mud-covered sneakers on his Instagram Stories, and wrote, "Just thankful to be alive. My face all swollen and s—t."
