Soulja Boy Is Now Aiming To Become The First Rapper In Space

by

Over the last few weeks, Soulja Boy has been on a mission to let people know of all the things he has done first. From being the first rapper on YouTube to being the first rapper to talk about Cryptocurrency, Soulja Boy has proven to be a prolific artist who is always setting trends, even if we aren’t necessarily paying attention. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that Soulja is looking to push the envelope, all while going bigger with his firsts.

For instance, the artist took to Twitter last night where he issued a message to Elon Musk. Effectively, Soulja Boy wants to become the first rapper-astronaut, which would certainly be a sight to behold. “Make me first rapper in space @elonmusk,” he wrote.

If you follow either of these men on Twitter, then you know that Soulja Boy is all about the memes and so is Elon Musk. The two of them know how to provoke people and with their internet expertise in mind, they would prove to be a dynamic duo. Whether or not Musk takes Soulja Boy on his space exploration journeys, remains to be seen.

Regardless, one can’t help but imagine a world in which Soulja Boy is discovering new planets and creating new colonies around the universe. You can read our most recent interview with Soulja Boy, right here.

Boosie Badazz Responds After Shooting Breaks Out At Music Video Scene

by

Boosie Badazz was in the middle of a music video shoot in Huntsville, Alabama this past weekend when all of a sudden, shots rang out in the middle of filming. In the clip which can be found below, the people in the music video immediately begin to duck as they hear the shots go out and it makes for an incredibly scary scene.

Reports immediately began to surface following the shooting and for now, there is conflicting information. Boosie is okay, however, one man was shot and according to TMZ, he is in critical condition. Some outlets have given different updates on the man’s condition although most reports say he is still alive.

After the shooting, fans sent their well wishes to Boosie, all while other blogs tried to wrap their heads around what happened. Boosie wasn’t happy about the speculation on his name and decided to take to Twitter where he cleared up some misconceptions.

“AINT NOBODY TRY TO KILL ME N HUNTSVILLE AL. YALL MFS BE HAPPY TO SPREAD LIES ON ME,” Boosie wrote.

According to DJ Akademiks, Boosie was spotted shopping following the incident, which is a sign that he was pretty unfazed by what went down. Just a few months ago, Boosie was shot in Dallas at an Mo3 memorial and since that time, many have been worried for his safety.

We send our prayers to everyone who was affected by the shooting, and we hope Boosie continues to be okay.
