Report via TMZ -- Soulja Boy's getting a visit from cops to kick off his weekend -- deputies are at his house looking for evidence in that alleged "kidnapping" case ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the Ventura County Sheriff's Department served a search warrant Friday morning at his crib in Agoura Hills, CA -- about 30 minutes outside of L.A. -- in connection with the allegation made by a woman named Kayla.

TMZ broke the story ... Kayla, who had dated Soulja, claims he tied her up in his garage for 6 hours last weekend. For his part, Soulja says she's full of it. Our sources connected to the rapper tell us he had broken up with Kayla, and she showed up wasted at his house Friday night.

They acknowledge Kayla got into a fight with one of Soulja's female managers, but vehemently deny she was held captive, and add ... Soulja never had any contact with her.

We don't know if Soulja is home, but we're told cops are searching his residence for any evidence in connection with the allegation.

WRAL -- Wilmington, N.C. police used Facebook and tips from the public to identify a young woman they said tried to hit a former boyfriend with her car.

Police pulled a photo of Courtnay Danielle Lawrence, 22, posing with her damaged 2016 Hyundai Elantra from social media.

On Wednesday, police circulated video of the hit-and-run on Rutledge Drive where a dark sedan could be seen plowing into a walking couple.

A man in a dark, hooded sweatshirt manages to escape, while the car hits and flips a woman in a pink shirt.

The woman told police she and a male acquaintance were walking back from the store when she heard a horn and was hit. The woman suffered multiple injuries to her head, shoulder, hips and knees, according to police.

The Wilmington Police Department offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information on the driver of the car.

On Friday, they identified her as Lawrence and charged her with assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run, failure to give information/aid to personal injury and driving without a license.

Cool Running’s DJs very own, DJ Ms. Hypnotique, Palm Tree Entertainment, SODMG and Team SCM affiliate, made her live DJ debut on Wild’ N Out.

This mixtress not only wow’d the audience with her inner and outer beauty, but she did a great DJ set while Soulja Boy, the hottest rapper in the game, performed live. We got some insight from her to see what the experience was like.

“Aside from all the hype and the crazy energy, being at the live taping of the hip-hop improv show “Wild ‘N Out” isn’t much different from watching the show itself. I got a chance to be on set with some amazing, truly funny people. My favorite part, of course, was when I actually got to DJ, and the guest that I DJ’d for was none other than my brother, Soulja Boy @souljaboy. 

Wild ’N Out is exactly just that… Wild! If you’ve ever seen the show, you know it’s hilarious and when you add that Soulja spin on it, it’s even more amazing since it was him who “started” this wave. There wasn’t a seat within the circular set that was free from the view of cameras and the audience was rarely quiet. The cast was outstanding and even funnier in person. Even when the show wasn’t filming, laughter and cheers filled the room as the cast poked fun at the audience and encouraged dance competitions. 

I got the chance to meet Nick Cannon in person and was shocked that he was more down-to-earth than I thought he would be since a lot of celebrities act one way with the fans and act another way on television. He was very humble and welcoming and didn’t mind taking pictures with the guests. What was most interesting is that he was surprised to see a female DJ on the set behind the turntables. Once I started, he looked to the DJ booth and had to do a double take and wore an amusingly shocked expression on his face as he pointed toward the booth. THAT was THE BEST moment for me. I was proud of all the work that had been done to get me to that point and very proud of my team: my manager Jay Shields, CEO and Team SCM, my PTE family and all those who have helped me along the way. 

I enjoyed every moment of this experience and didn’t want to leave and it is a part of my career that I’ll never forget. Fortunately for you, you’ll get a chance to see some pics and videos this week starting with the debate of Season 13 and an all new episode!
