Soulja Boy is still pretty miffed about being left off of Donda, judging from the stream of enraged tweets he’s been posting for the last hour.

On Sunday, Soulja originally expressed his discontent in a series of tweets telling Kanye to essentially lose his number after discovering that the verse he recorded for the song “Remote Control” went unused. This morning, after a tweet that seemed like he was letting it all go, Soulja instead launched into another tirade calling Kanye “weird,” encouraging the producer to stop hitting his phone, instructing Kanye’s estranged wife Kim to call him, and recalling a similar situation while recording “Robocop” for 808s & Heartbreak.

“Learn to be done,” read the first tweet. “Not mad, not bothered, just done. Protect your energy at all costs.” However, it seemed he had trouble following his own advice, posting a video of him recording the unused “Remote Control” verse and apparently getting mad all over again.

Soulja blamed Kanye’s falling out with both Kim and Jay-Z on Kanye’s bipolar diagnosis, ridiculed Kanye’s failed presidential campaign, wondered why Kanye would even invite him to record if he didn’t plan on using the recording, which Soulja considered a waste of his time, and even threatened to fight the mercurial producer, all while calling him “lame” and insisting “He needs help seriously.” You can see the full thread below.

Additional guests on the album include Syleena Johnson, Francis & The Lights, Don Toliver, Tony Williams, Conway The Machine, KayCyy, Westside Gunn, Swizz Beatz, Jay Electronica, Chris Brown, Sunday Service, and Rooga. But there’s one person who’s particularly upset that they were left off the album.

Hours after Donda was released, Soulja Boy took to Twitter to express his frustration with being elided. It began when a fan asked him for his opinion on the finally released albun. The rapper replied, “Idk how to feel, Kanye sent me that song ‘remote control’ and I don’t hear my verse on it… hmm f*ck that n****.” Soulja Boy then posted texts between him and Kanye that show them discussing the song, whose version on the album features an additional verse from Young Thug. In the caption he wrote, “This n**** Kanye smh. Tell homie dont hit my phone no more.” Lastly, Soulja Boy concluded his attack against West by writing, “That n**** Kanye weird af.”

Donda is out now via GOOD Music. Get it here.

Soulja Boy really wants to get into the video game business. A couple years ago, he infamously started selling his own handheld video game consoles, will were full of presumably unauthorized copies of famous retro games. Now, he’s apparently under the impression that he owns Atari, an assertion with which Atari disagrees.

In a recent video, the rapper proclaimed, “They signed me to a deal to Atari. Big shout out to Atari, the whole staff. I’m about to revamp the company. We’re gonna take Atari to the next level. Everybody go follow @Atari. I am now the owner of Atari. I own the video game company Atari. […] The first rapper to own a video game company. We gonna take it to the next level.” The rapper also changed his Twitter bio to indicate that he’s the company’s CEO.

Based on Atari’s response, it seems that what Soulja said is factually inaccurate. In response, Atari tweeted, “We know that CEO of Atari is a dream job, but that honor belongs to Wade Rosen.”

The company that currently uses the Atari brand name, by the way, isn’t the same company from the ’70s and ’80s that released Pong and the Atari 2600 console, as the brand name has changed hands multiple times over the decades.
