Today, in a move sure to endear him to a younger generation of voters, President Joe Biden signed a bill that requires ByteDance to sell its US-based interests in TikTok or see the app banned from cell phone marketplaces. While it has been described as a bill banning TikTok outright, it’s actually pretty vaguely written and probably more or less unenforceable as is, the equivalent of “okay, Boomer” in legal form.
But that hasn’t stopped the offers from rolling in, including a (probably facetious) one from Soulja Boy, who asked on Twitter, “How much yall want for TikTok?” declaring, “I’ll buy it.”

The “Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act” (say that five times fast) has otherwise been met with widespread criticism. From its oblique wording to its borderline hypocritical positioning — focusing on TikTok after Meta actively engaged in the promotion of phony news propaganda aimed at influencing the last election, for instance — TikTok’s user base has pointed out a number of flaws in the political strategy behind the bill. For instance, do you all remember those hilariously (terrifyingly) off-base hearings with ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo? By the way, here’s his response to all the kerfuffle:
Sexyy Red celebrated her birthday and went out twerking. The issue in certain social media sectors is her son, who is looking on in the moment. Red’s butt is in full view of the child, and another woman would playfully interact with him.
The reaction is split as some supported Sexyy Red, with one social media user writing: “So yall don’t dance in front of yall kids?? Yall just 2 step ok.”
You can see the moment below. What’s your take on it?
Returning down memory lane to the MySpace and Juicy Couture era, Sexyy Red has unveiled the video for her latest Billboard-charting single, “Get It Sexyy.” Produced by Tay Keith, the track has already amassed millions of streams and debuted impressively at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Directed by Des Gray, the video captures the essence of the early 2000s, reminiscent of BET’s “106 & Park” playlist. Sexyy Red channels the era’s vibes, sporting tall tees and putting her spin on classic internet dance challenges. Notably, internet sensation Soulja Boy makes a cameo, contributing to a catchy dance routine akin to “Crank Dat.”
The star-studded video features appearances from Drake, humorously portrayed as Sexyy Red’s roller-skating rink date, along with cameos from Adin Ross, Rob49, Wizz Havinn, Fabo, Tay Keith, and more. “Get It Sexyy” marks Sexyy Red’s highest-charting solo single, surpassing her previous hit “SkeeYee.”

Soulja Boy is the first rapper to do a lot of things, but he certainly isn’t the first rapper to wind up in court with an ex-girlfriend. Since 2021, the Chicago native has been wrapped up in a harrowing lawsuit with a past former flame known only as Jane Doe. She claims she was beaten to the point of suffering a miscarriage at the hands of her then-boyfriend. At the time of the incident, the alleged victim was living with Soulja, real name DeAndre Cortez Way.
During a “simple conversation” the MC “quickly became irate and violent,” according to the suit. “During their conversation, (Way) began to punch (Doe) in the face and chest, until she could no longer stand on her feet.” When she fell, Soulja reportedly continued to attack and kick her in the stomach. “Soon thereafter, (Doe) suffered a miscarriage and was unable to carry her pregnancy into full-term,” court documents declare. Despite this, Doe stuck by her man, though he struck again in 2017. According to her, the 33-year-old put his hands on her for wanting to visit her grandmother, only stopping when security came in.

A judge has ruled that Doe will be awarded $10M in damages from her alleged abuser. She’s getting $5M for pain, suffering, and inconvenience, and another $5M for emotional distress. “It took her years to escape the psychological and physical grasp of her abuser,” attorney Neama Rahmani told USA Today of her client’s struggles. The same lawyer is representing another Jane Doe taking legal action against Soulja, citing experiences of sexual abuse and kidnapping.
Soulja Boy seems to have drama with virtually every woman in his life. Not only will he have to pay up millions to his ex, but another person claiming to be the “Crank That” hitmaker’s baby mama is now going viral for brutally calling him out online. Read SB’s response to that situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Sexyy Red was one of the biggest breakout stars in all of rap last year and she’s proving she won’t slow down any time soon. She’s already had a pretty big 2024 so far, giving birth to her second child. The story of her childbirth was spun into a fictionalized version for the visuals of her Drake and SZA collaboration “Rich Baby Daddy.” The song dropped last year on Drake’s For All The Dogs and has been a stable hit in the top 40 of the Hot 100 ever since. But now she’s shifting her focus back to releasing her own new music.
She got that train started with a teaser she shared to twitter. She shared a snippet of new music alongside a video that fit the vibe perfectly. The clip she chose is a throwback video of Soulja Boy in 2008. While he’s doing some choreography to a different song in the original video, it fits perfectly with the snippet Red shared. The video has already racked up more than 22k likes as fans build up hype for her next release. The track doesn’t have a release date yet but it seems to be on the way very soon. Check out the snippet she shared below.
The music video for “Rich Baby Daddy” has spawned a full month of hilarious back and forth between Drake and Sexyy Red online. It started when Red joked that Drake should have to pay her child support. The jokes didn’t stop when Drizzy started buying her designer bags and leaning into the joke that their association was starting to get expensive. It’s probably paying off in the end though as the song has more than 260 million streams on Spotify.
What do you think of the snippet Sexyy Red shared on Twitter? Do you think it fits perfectly with the old video of Soulja Boy dancing? Let us know in the comment section below.

Soulja Boy’s music career has been the cornerstone of his wealth. He broke onto the scene in 2007 with his debut single “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This early success led to a major record deal and wealth accumulation from album sales, digital downloads, and concert tours. His subsequent albums, including iSouljaBoyTellem and The DeAndre Way, have also contributed to his net worth. Although they did not match the phenomenal success of his debut, they have kept him in the public eye and generated steady income.

He launched his own record label, SODMG (Stacks on Deck Money Gang), which supported his music and signed other artists, offering an additional revenue stream. Further contributing to his net worth is his venture into the fashion world. Soulja Boy introduced his clothing line “BLVD Supply,” featuring streetwear that resonates with his fan base. This line has seen success and has further padded his wealth.

Despite initial controversies, these ventures have showcased his willingness to diversify his income. Moreover, he capitalized on the emerging trends in digital currency by releasing his own SouljaCoin. While the success of this venture remains to be seen, it demonstrates his forward-thinking approach and adds to his diverse portfolio.

His ability to leverage digital platforms and diversify his income has made him a popular figure and a wealthy one. As we look ahead, seeing what the future holds for Soulja Boy’s net worth is exciting.
Soulja Boy has never been a lyrical wizard or storyteller throughout his career. However, that is not a bad thing. Not every rapper needs to have those qualities to deserve credit for their work. Listeners go to different artists for different things and it helps make music more diverse. What fans go to Soulja Boy for is party bangers and that is what “25 Drop” has the potential to be. The track appears on the Chicago, Illinois MC’s latest record Swag 6.
This is one of multiple mixtape series in his prolific discography. Installments three through six are available on streaming with the third dropping back in 2020. Soulja’s Swag 6 is the longest LP out of the four entries, hitting the 20-track mark. “25 Drop” kicks things off and hits you with an immediate wave of nostalgia.
“Soulja Boy Tell’em” rings throughout the first few seconds and then the beat comes in. It has a vintage video game feeling with what sounds like a xylophone looping in and out of the production. Impressively, Big Draco handles everything on this track and it pays off. The lyrics are not anything new, but again, that is not what he specializes in. “25 Drop” is all gas and it delivers a good time from beginning to end. Fans agree, flooding the music video comments with things like, “I won’t lie, I don’t know what I was expecting but I’m blown away! This s***is hard AF!”
What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “25 Drop,” by Soulja Boy? Do you think this is one of his better tracks as of late? Is this the best song from Swag 6, why or why not? Should he drop another tape, or is this one good enough? What is your favorite element of the song and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

The First To Do It is something that Soulja Boy will always live by. While he might not be the originator of every hip-hop trend, he certainly deserves a lot of credit for what he has done. It does have less to do with lyricism and more so how to market yourself in a cutthroat industry. The Chicago, Illinois native has recently been in the news for things outside of music.
Over the past month, Soulja Boy has fallen into the deadly Blueface trap. He is someone else is making headlines for everything but his material. The reason these two are tangled up with one another because Blueface claimed he could out rap Soulja in a Verzuz battle. Since then, things have escalated quickly and they continue to beef into February.
However, we do not have an update on that conflict. Today is all about Soulja’s newest project Swag 6. This is the sixth installment in the series, which began releasing onto streaming back in 2020 with the third tape. One thing all of these LPs have in common are loaded tracklists with one to no features. Unfortunately, this does not really lead to anything exciting. Still, if you want to check it out, use the links above.

Soulja Boy and Blueface’s feud, which was kind of funny when it was just about which of the two rappers has more mainstream hits, has continued long enough that we’ve reached the “death threats” portion of the program. While Blueface did try to escalate the beef to the point of physical altercation a few weeks ago (a week before Christmas, no less), it ultimately came to nothing, but it sounds like Soulja Boy is willing to take things even further.
During an Instagram Live stream, Soulja denounced the back-and-forth on the internet, inviting Blueface to a shootout instead. Blueface took the opportunity to mock his would-be rival in a Twitter response, posting a circus tent emoji and offering some baby talk.
The dramatic response may seem outsized when you consider that this all started during an interview in which the LA native suggested he could win in a Verzuz hits battle with Soulja, prompting an aggrieved comeback from the Atlanta rapper. “You gon’ perform bust down ‘Thotiana‘ five times in a row?” he taunted. “Don’t make me go into the vault and start pulling sh*t out with Bow Wow… You know how many songs I got, buddy? I got songs with Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Trey Songz, Omarion, DJ Khaled.”
The two rappers seem to like the attention they’ve been getting for this “beef,” but let’s hope that Soulja Boy ends up disappointed.
Soulja Boy is ready to put his life on the line as his beef with Blueface escalates. During an Instagram session, Soulja asked Blueface to “meet up and die.”
This beef has escalated over the possibility of a VERZUZ battle. But it is taking an unfortunate turn.
“All that Internet shit, playing back and forth,” Soulja said. “Let’s die, let’s meet up and die. Let’s die. ASAP. Let’s meet right now. Whenever you see this Live, DM me the addy. Let’s shoot it up, let’s shoot it out.”
