If it was apparent by now, Soulja Boy is someone that you have to tread lightly around. The slightest bit of ridicule sets this guy off and B. Simone is someone who learned that the hard way. Just yesterday, a clip from the multi-hyphenate’s podcast, Let’s Try This Again, was making the rounds online after shooting a stray toward the rapper. She was retelling a story from a magazine photoshoot and while she was working, she had a gospel music playlist. B. Simone was saying how no one at the site was ripping her for her taste.
“Nobody said ‘Why are we listening to this? Man, put on Soulja Boy.’ I don’t think anybody’s ever saying put on Soulja Boy… I don’t know why I said that”. Later on, the podcast host made sure to give the “Crank That” MC his props for being a “hip-hop legend” and a “trendsetter”. Like we mentioned, though, all of the buttering up didn’t keep Soulja from firing back. He went off on Simone, essentially calling her ugly, roasting her for her lack of recognition as a musician, and repeatedly pointed out how he had more hair than her.
Well, B. Simone, along with fellow comedian, Pretty Vee, had some words for Mr. Pretty Boy Swag. However, there was nearly not as much malicious intent, especially from Simone. “This is nuts ”, she began. “I literally say “‘We have to put some respect on Soulja Boy name. He is a trendsetter & an innovator in the culture. So I respect Soulja Boy’”. I literally say he’s a hip-hop legend God bless you baby @souljaboy Hope you good But LTTA @letstrythisagain TAP IN Love yall !!!!”. That prompted Soulja to react lightheartedly, “@thebsimone you hurt my feelings ”.
That is when Pretty Vee came in to back up her girl. “Don’t play with me @souljaboy. You better play with them ones like this but not @thebsimone. Again she said what she said, now WHAT ”. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus you living creature ”. What are your thoughts on B. Simone and Pretty Vee’s responses to Soulja Boy following his heated clap-back? Does it sound like things are okay between the trio? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and pop culture.
DaBaby responded to Soulja Boy’s Instagram live shade. Soulja Boy has been in the news recently for several things. The most recent issue came up on his Instagram live stream, where he went on a lengthy rant against social media personality and comedian B. Simone. During the rant, he took a swipe at DaBaby, seemingly unprompted.
“You’re mad because I turned you down […] I’m not DaBaby,” said Soulja Boy at the end of the clip. DaBaby responded to the comment on his Instagram story, posting a now-infamous still from Soulja Boy’s 2019 Breakfast Club interview. The “Draaaake?” meme. Fans had thoughts on the interaction. “Please don’t unthaw DaBaby. He was doing good and being unproblematic,” said one user. “Now Soulja, I don’t think you want beef wit that man. Him and 50 neck and neck wit petty,” said another user. “This ain’t one you wanna play with, Soulja. DaBaby is everything he rap about,” said a third.
Soulja Boy has had an interesting last few weeks. He took shots at Drake for “disappointing” him during the battle with Kendrick Lamar. Fans viewed it as an attempt to drum up publicity for his new album, which releases on July 28. Drake mentioned him, seemingly in response to Soulja’s X rant, in an unreleased song with Lil Yachty, which Twitch streamer Kai Cenat previewed on Wednesday. In the same Instagram live stream as his B. Simone rant, Soulja mentioned that he couldn’t figure out if Drake was “showing love” or dissing him.
DaBaby has had a quiet 2024. He released a handful of singles and freestyles, but has not announced a new album or anything past that. He seems to be intent on staying away from controversy after a tumultuous 2021 that his career is yet to recover from. However, Soulja Boy’s comment may be what causes him to find himself back in beef. It remains to be seen if one picture is the extent of DaBaby’s response, or if the two famously petty rappers will end up in a lengthier back and forth.
According to AllHipHop, Soulja Boy is avoiding forking out tons of money that stems from a previous lawsuit from a woman identified as Jane Doe. The “Crank That” hitmaker has dealt with his fair share of court battles so if you aren’t up to speed on this one, we get it. But this update pertains to a case that has been going on since 2021. Doe filed a $10 million lawsuit against Soulja Boy for sexual, battery, assault, as well as infliction of emotional distress.
Making this even more of a bad look for the entrepreneur is that she claimed it led to a miscarriage back in 2015. In the original filing, Doe claimed that it happened after having a “simple conversation”. Soulja Boy “quickly became irate and violent” and he punched her in the face and chest before collapsing to the ground and not being able to stand up. That is when the rapper supposedly began to kick in the stomach, which allegedly caused said miscarriage.
Soulja Boy’s Decision Helps Him Avoid Paying $10 Million In Damages

Soulja Boy was going to have to pay this hefty $10 million lawsuit. The damages were $5 million for pain and suffering and then the other half for emotional distress. However, since he decided to attend a deposition before the end of this month, that judgement is being wiped. Soulja affirmed that he did none of the actions that he had been accused of. Doe did previously claim that he didn’t attend a deposition, but that obviously turned out not to be the case.
What are your thoughts on Soulja Boy avoiding the $10 million in damages to Jane Doe for alleged assault, sexual battery, and infliction of emotional distress? What does this say about the accusations from Ms. Doe? How do you see the rest of this playing out from here? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Druski launched Coulda Been Records in 2019, described by Complex as “a satirical record label crafted for his IG Live talent-scouting show.” More recently, Druski aired his Coulda Been House reality show on YouTube, and now, the label’s viability is indisputable.
On Monday, July 22, Druski exclusively revealed to Billboard that he will stage his inaugural Coulda Fest at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on September 7. The comedy and music festival will feature Lil Baby, Kai Cenat, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Yung Joc, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash, Navv Greene, Travis Porter, DJ Unk, Baby Drill, Baby Kia, Shop Boyz, Yung LA, F.L.Y., Rich Kidz, and Ugliest Rapper Alive.
“Coulda Fest won’t be a traditional music and comedy festival,” Druski told Billboard. “It’s going to be a celebration of Atlanta’s culture and a night full of hilarious sketches that bring us back to the special times in our city’s music history. This concept has never been done before, so I’m looking forward to bringing this vision to life.”
The event will be co-hosted by DC Young Fly, known for starring on Wild ‘N Out.
According to Druski’s Instagram announcement, the artist pre-sale is slated for Wednesday, July 24, beginning at 10 a.m. ET. The code is “COULDA.” The general sale will take place on Friday, July 26. You can sign up for notifications here.
Soulja Boy is officially taking one of his social media spats to court, as he recently sued Tasha K and William The Baddest for their claims about him on their episode of Unwine With Tasha K. Specifically, William claimed that he and Soulja were sexually intimate, allegations that the rapper was quick to deny online after the claims went viral. The Atlanta MC filed a lawsuit for defamation, sexual harassment, privacy rights violations, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and other claims, including one assumption that William violated an NDA by speaking on the matter. But again, that’s just speculative at press time, as we don’t know much else about what damages are at stake or about any other case details.
“I’m telling y’all I’m not, what the f**k do you want me to… What the f**k is wrong with y’all?” Soulja Boy responded to William The Baddest’s claims, including those about his… member. “They saying, ‘To the left.’ Bro, anybody can go on OnlyFans and see that. Anybody can go on OF and see that, I got an OF page. What the f**k, that don’t prove nothing, what the f**k is wrong with y’all? Aye, wait, wait, wait, keep it gangster: are y’all serious right now or are y’all trolling? Y’all serious? Oh, y’all deada**.
“Okay, on my life, God strike me down, send me to hell right now,” Soulja Boy went on. “On my soul, on everything I love, that dude is lying. I could die right now today, God strike me down. I’ll put it on my life, I’ll put it on my life and soul, I’ll put it on my heartbeat. That is not true, bro *laughs*.
“Nah, if that don’t do it for y’all, I don’t know what the f**k you want me to say,” Soulja Boy concluded. “If you don’t believe me after that, I don’t give a f**k. I don’t give a f**k, because it ain’t… What’s the big deal? What the f**k?” Elsewhere, he was just trolling some rap beef contestants, throwing shade at Drake. With this new lawsuit in mind, Soulja might become too busy in court to handle his other social media antics.
Soulja Boy has strong words for Drake after his highly publicized battle with Kendrick Lamar. Drake and Lamar have been taking shots at each other since the latter’s now-infamous verse on Big Sean’s “Control” released in 2013. Drake and J. Cole collaborated on “First Person Shooter,” the hit single from Drake’s 2023 album For All The Dogs. Lamar responded to claims of a hip-hop Big 3 on the Future & Metro Boomin track “Like That.” The rest is history.
Soulja Boy, who has a new album set for release on July 28, took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his disappointment in Drake clear. His posts were met with a mixed response. Some shared their belief that Drake needed to take the loss. Others accused him of clout chasing, as his album is under two weeks away from release and controversy almost always sells. “This is what happens when you don’t hop up out the bed and turn your swag on,” said one Instagram user, referencing his 2008 hit.
Soulja Boy Is Disappointed In Drake’s Battle Performance
Soulja Boy and Drake were friendly for some time in the latter’s early years of superstardom. Drake freestyled over “We Made It” in 2013, a non-album track that got very popular. In 2019, Soulja claimed that he “taught Drake everything he knows.” It was a one-sided beef that ended with the infamous “Draaaake?” soundbite from his interview with The Breakfast Club. After that, Drake reached out to Soulja to end any animosity and resolve the conflict peacefully.
Drake has been reeling since his battle with Kendrick Lamar. He reportedly plans to release new music this summer, which may get him back on track. Lamar has been on a months-long victory lap, with “Not Like Us” surging to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after the music video released. Soulja Boy is not the only disappointed rapper out there. Kendrick Lamar’s own Black Hippy squadmate, Ab-Soul, seemed to express a level of disappointment in Drake. He was more forgiving than Soulja, not ruling out the possibility of redemption. However, he specified that Drake could never “f*ck with” Kendrick on the rap side.
Metro Boomin has been a busy man. The producer kicked off the rap battle to end all battles, between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. He enlisted the former for the number one single “Like That,” and dissed the latter with his “BBL Drizzy” instrumental. Metro has never been more popular. That being said, the super producer took time out from his tour with Future to pay tribute to his late mother, Leslie Wayne, who died two years ago at the hands of her husband.
Metro Boomin posted a pair of photos on his Instagram. The first photo was of him and his mother when he was a child, and the second was of the two of them when he was an adult. The caption made it clear Metro is still reeling from his untimely loss. “Today makes 2 years since Your Physical being has left us,” he wrote. “But I get on my knees and pray every morning that Your Spirit fills and surrounds my brothers and sisters and I more and more each day.” The producer concluded his message with a heartfelt note to Wayne. “I Love and miss You more than could ever be explained or comprehended,” he added.
The producer’s mother was a topic of discussion due to a recent spat between him and Soulja Boy. Old tweets were unearthed in which Metro Boomin insulted Soulja, and the “Crank That” rapper responded by insulting Leslie Wayne. Soulja Boy recended his comments, however, and issued an apology to Metro via X (formerly Twitter). “I apologize to @MetroBoomin for over reacting over an old tweet,” he tweeted. “Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old.”
Metro Boomin has opened up about his familial loss on Instagram. In August 2022, the producer posted a message to his fans that detailed his feelings. “Mom was and still is my best friend in the universe. And anybody who really know me know I’ve always been a Momma’s boy my whole life,” he wrote. “This don’t even feel like real life no more; it’s like a nightmare that never ends, and starts over every time I wake up.” In a separate post, he added: “This gotta be what hell feel like ‘cause it’s like my soul just always burning and everything around me constantly burning.”
Iconic rapper and entrepreneur Soulja Boy has once again collaborated with renowned travel fashion brand Sprayground, unveiling a new backpack that perfectly embodies his high-energy lifestyle and extravagant persona. The SOULJA BOY ANIME DRIFTER COLLAB BACKPACK features a striking anime-style illustration of Soulja Boy’s face, adorned with gleaming gold chains. This eye-catching design is set against a backdrop of shiny cars and stacks of money, encapsulating the essence of luxury and success that Soulja Boy represents. The name “Draco” is boldly displayed across the bottom in block print, adding a powerful finishing touch to this standout piece.
This collaboration follows the success of last year’s joint venture, which saw the release of a four-piece collection that sold out within seconds. The previous collection included two backpacks, the highly-coveted Sprayground Money Bear dressed as Soulja Boy, and an exquisite jewelry case. The overwhelming demand for these items set the stage for this year’s highly anticipated release.
Sprayground, known for its innovative designs and high-quality materials, has delivered once again with the “Draco” backpack. This collaboration not only brings a unique artistic flair but also ensures practical functionality. The backpack features multiple compartments, durable construction, and comfortable straps, making it perfect for everyday use or as a collector’s item for fans.
Sprayground initially captured worldwide attention with the ‘Hello My Name’ backpack over 13 years ago. Founder David BenDavid (DBD) aimed to create a brand that reflected his childhood and upbringing, drawing inspiration from the streetwear and art scene. This creative vision has since gained global admiration.
The Anime Drifter backpack is available online at Sprayground and in exclusive boutiques nationwide. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of this dynamic collaboration that blends fashion, functionality, and the bold spirit of Soulja Boy.
Machine Gun Kelly has been around for quite a while now. His debut album Lace Up dropped more than a decade ago back in 2012. But even then he hasn’t been around as long as Soulja Boy. The rapper pioneered the ringtone rap era in the 2000s with a string of viral hits. None were bigger than “Crank That” which spent seven weeks at the top spot on the Hot 100 in 2007. Part of the reason it was able to get so big in the first place was a massive dance craze that helped the song catch on.
During a recent appearance at a special 2000s night, MGK unpacked that very same dance in a video that’s now making the rounds online. In the clip, the “My Ex’s Best Friend” rapper is dressed like Soulja Boy himself in a classic baggy white t-shirt. Even funnier is that he absolutely nails the moves alongside a group of friends dancing with him. In the comments of the video, fans served up mixed reactions to the fact that the song is still so popular even amongst contemporary rappers. Check out the video of mgk’s dance below.
Earlier this year, Machine Gun Kelly shocked fans with his new tattoo. His fandom has kept a close eye on his variety of new ink for years. But his newest tattoo didn’t just show off something new, but also cover up some of his older beloved work. He got an absolutely massive black out covering both of his arms and most of his chest. A few weeks later he took to Instagram to show fans the behind-the-scenes process of what it looked like assembling that extremely involved tat.
What do you think of Machine Gun Kelly nailing the dance to Soulja Boy’s classic hit “Crank That?” Do you still have the steps of the dance memorized from when the song was at its peak of popularity? Let us know in the comment section below.
Soulja Boy is known for being combative, so it’s no surprise he has been involved in several beefs with other rappers. Recently, Soulja Boy was in the news again over a beef. This time, the “Crank That” crooner sparred with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage. The feud was entirely avoidable and was triggered by a 12-year-old tweet from Metro. In the tweet, a teenage Metro wrote, “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.” Soulja Boy found out about the tweet and asked Metro to delete it. However, 21 Savage got involved and asked what would happen if Metro failed to delete the tweet.
21 Savage’s response infuriated Soulja Boy, who challenged the rapper and Metro to a boxing fight. Soulja Boy also dissed Metro Boomin’s late mom several times, sparking criticism from fans. Following the criticisms, Soulja surprisingly apologized to Metro Boomin via a tweet. He wrote, “I apologize to @MetroBoomin for over reacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old. .” With Soulja Boy’s latest move and vow to seek therapy and not respond to hate anymore, one cannot but look at his past feuds. Soulja Boy has a long list of beefs to his name but here are seven of the biggest he’s been involved in.
Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s beef began in January 2017 after the former liked a post from Karrueche Tran, Chris’s ex-girlfriend. Chris reportedly threatened Soulja Boy over the post, causing the latter to launch a verbal attack on him. In a tweet, Soulja Boy cited Chris’s 2009 assault against his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. However, Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s spat progressed from online slingshots to a boxing fight. Former heavyweight boxing champion Floyd Mayweather organized a pay-per-view boxing match between the feuding musicians. Chris and Soulja Boy continued their war of words and didn’t hold back from hurling expletives at each other.
Later, Soulja Boy challenged Chris to a street fight in Compton. True to his words, he arrived there for the fight and went live on Instagram with a group of guys surrounding him. However, things turned sour when some of the group members attacked and reportedly robbed Soulja. With the situation escalating further, Soulja called on Floyd Mayweather to train him for his boxing fight with Chris, who was also hyped up about the matchup. However, the fight never happened with Soulja later revealing that he and Chris resolved their issues after speaking about it.
6. Soulja Boy Beefs With 50 Cent
Besides being one of the greatest rappers alive, 50 Cent is famous for his hilarious memes. The G-Unit boss loves having fun with whoever he chooses and got in on Soulja Boy and Chris Brown’s beef, urging them to hit the ring and fight each other. When Soulja Boy looked as though he was quitting his beef with Chris Brown, 50 Cent didn’t want that to happen. Then, Soulja Boy shared a video where he apologized for his erratic behavior and revealed his mom was hospitalized. However, 50 Cent didn’t like the apology and shared several memes urging Soulja Boy to go ahead with the fight. 50 also revealed his plans to make money off the boxing fight, writing, “They’re talking about this s**t, right?” “Get Soulja Boy on the phone! Tell that n***a I said stop apologizing, get the draco out! We got to keep this s**t going!”
After Soulja reportedly got robbed at Compton, 50 Cent went ahead to troll him again. This time, he said, “Soulja Boy just got Robbed in LA, don’t worry ya big homie Floyd can buy you another chain. But you bet not call POLICE little man. #thefightstillon LMAO.” In another post, 50 Cent also said Soulja Boy shouldn’t cancel the fight as he had no choice but to go ahead with it. Soulja Boy responded to 50 Cent via a now-deleted IG post he captioned, “Rob who take what somebody tell Curtis Jackson shut the f**k up.” He also released the diss track “Hit Em With The Draco,” in which he hurled shots at 50 and Chris Brown. Eventually, Soulja Boy and 50 Cent’s spat never got too serious and died down after his fight with Chris failed to materialize.
Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy’s beef started over a girl. It began on Oct. 28, 2016, after Soulja Boy posted screenshots of text exchange between himself and Yachty. In the chat, Yachty asked Soulja to remove a picture of himself and model India Love from social media. However, rather than take down the photo, Soulja went on a social media rampage, threatening Yachty. Also, he posted more pictures of himself and India and text messages from her in which she claimed to have never met Yachty.
Yachty responded by tweeting, “Im not for beefing over no female…all Ima say is…f***in wit da boat you gone sink. Period.” Yachty continued his offensive during his performance at Mala Luna Festival in San Antonio. He wore a shirt with the inscription, “Pray 4 Soulja Boy R.I.P. 2007–2016.” He also rapped, “F**k Soulja Boy, you a bitch ass n***a / Lil Boat came in with a hundred n****s / F***in’ on your bitch / I know that you mad.“
Later, Soulja Boy claimed Yachty cried over the phone to him pleading for their beef to come to an end. However, Yachty quashed those claims and leaked a phone call between himself and Soulja in which the latter was apologizing to him. Incredibly, Soulja shared a video not too long after showing him calling off the beef with Yachty. Also, Soulja claimed the whole beef began because he ran out of weed. He said, “Lil Yachty, man, you know I love you, bruh. You know how Big Soulja start tweakin’ when he ain’t got no weed.” During an interview with Shay Diddy on 106.1 KMEL, Yachty insinuated that Soulja Boy used the beef for clout as it shouldn’t have blown up the way it did.
4. Soulja Boy Beef With Ice-T
The beef between Soulja Boy and Ice-T began after Ice-T’s Black Urban Legends mixtape was released in 2008. The mixtape’s intro contained an attack on Soulja from Ice-T. Ice-T said, “Fuck Soulja Boy, eat a d**k. Soulja Boy, I know you are young enough to be my kid but you single-handedly killed hip-hop, man. That shit is such garbage. We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfuckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman shit?” Ice-T’s infamous diatribes soon found its way to the internet and reached Soulja Boy. Unsurprisingly, the then-17-year-old Soulja Boy responded in kind via a video where he trashed Ice-T’s legacy. He called Ice-T an old man and the “forefather of my nuts,” among many other labels while his friends laughed in the background.
The Ice-T and Soulja Boy beef is one of the former’s regrets. During an interview with Ebro in 2022, the Law & Order: SVU actor revealed how the beef originated. Ice-T shared that the associates he was making the Black Urban Legends mixtape for got him agitated by telling him people would rather listen to Soulja Boy and Hurricane Chris than listen to him. This caused Ice-T to get angry and say what he said. However, he never knew the associates would put his rant as the mixtape’s intro, starting the beef. The beef has since cooled and Soulja Boy reflected on it during a 2022 interview with HotNewHipHop. The “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” rapper said Ice-T was confused at the time and “didn’t know he was looking at the future in his eyes.” Soulja also said the beef thought him to always stay in tune with youth culture.
Kanye West and Soulja Boy went back and forth with each other on social media in February 2022. Their spat began after Soulja complained about Ye removing his verse on the song, “Remote Control,” from his Donda album. Soulja shared images of text messages between him and Ye. The text messages showed that Ye approved Soulja’s verse and agreed it would be on the song. However, that didn’t happen eventually, infuriating Soulja, who tweeted, “Idk how to feel, Kanye sent me that song ‘remote control’ and I don’t hear my verse on it. Hmm f**k that n***a.” He also wrote, “This n***a Kanye smh. Tell homie don’t hit my phone anymore.”
Afterward, Soulja posted a video on Instagram depicting Kanye losing his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, to comedian Pete Davidson. Soulja said, “Kanye, wake up. Skete got yo b***h n***a, whatchu gon do? Is you gon keep posting memes of Marvel vs. Capcom or you gon lay smackdown?” He added, “That’s what the f**k you get n***a! N***a tried to play me. N***a, you know who the f**k I am? I’m Big Draco and now you running around Hollywood crying like a b***h.”
Eventually, Kanye and Soulja Boy settled their beef. Soulja shared a screenshot of a text Kanye sent to him warning him not to talk about him or his wife again. Kanye’s text read, “This Ye. Don’t bring up me or my no more.” Afterward, Soulja revealed he and Kanye had settled their rift. Kanye also shared a screenshot of a message he sent to Soulja Boy. In the text, Kanye apologized for removing Soulja’s verse from the song, to which the latter replied, “Love you too bro. That’s all I wanted.”
Drake and Soulja Boy’s beef is probably the funniest among all Draco’s beefs due to the unforgettable meme that emerged from it. It all began in January 2019 when Soulja appeared on The Breakfast Club for an interview with hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, and Angela Yee. During the interview, Soulja asked why Meek Mill had a bigger comeback than he did. Charlamagne Tha God responded by suggesting that Meek Mill’s success could be due to his beef with Drake. Soulja Boy was then told that Drake was the biggest rapper in the world, which caused him to get up from his chair to vent his annoyance. He then went into a full-blown rant that quickly became a meme.
Soulja screamed, “Draaaaaaake? Draaaaaaaaake? The n***a that got bodied by Pusha T? The n***a that hiding his kid from the world, but his world want to hide from the kid? Aubrey Graham in a wheelchair? Draaaaaake? Y’all n***as better stop playing with me man. Y’all talking about the lightskin ni**a from Degrassi?” Afterward, Soulja claimed he taught Drake everything he knew. He said, “”Stop playing with me. Stop playing me like I ain’t teach Drake everything he know. Y’all ain’t hear Drake on his first song?”
Soulja proceeded to sing a line from Drake’s 2010 song, “Miss Me,” from his debut album, Thank Me Later. He claimed Drake stole the song’s first bars from his 2007 song, “What’s Hannenin.” He claimed, “”That’s Soulja! That’s my bar. He copied my whole f**king flow. He copied my whole f**king flow. Word for word. Bar for bar. Don’t act like I didn’t make Drake, ni**a.” During an interview with XXL, Soulja also questioned why Drake never invited him on tour to perform their 2013 collaboration, “We Made It.” He also wondered why Drake never shot a video for the song.
Drake and Soulja eventually settled their beef. The 6 God got tagged to a video of Soulja Boy shopping from his OVO store in Los Angeles in February 2019. He then sent messages to Soulja, which the latter posted on X, formerly Twitter. In the message, Drake wrote, “You know it’s always been love all jokes aside. I dunno if you was serious about the video thing but I never knew you wanted to do a video for we made it you know I would have done that shit…” Drake then acknowledged Soulja’s hilarious meme from his interview on The Breakfast Club, writing, “but on some real shit…Draaaaaaaaaaaaake?!?! kill that show.”
1. Soulja Boy Vs. Bow Wow Beef
Soulja Boy and Bow Wow are now friends, but they have endured some low points in their friendship. The duo has toured together, collaborated on several songs, and also has a joint mixtape. However, at their worst, the pair engaged in heated exchanges online. The sour point in their friendship came after Soulja Boy dissed Nas in an eight-minute video in December 2008, declaring that the iconic rapper killed hip-hop due to his 2006 single, “Hip-Hop Is Dead.” However, Bow Wow, who idolizes Nas, released a freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Friend or Foe.” In the track, he responded to Soulja’s Nas diss, saying, “I’d never disrespect Nas, I’m not Soulja Boy.”
Bow Wow’s line fueled a back-and-forth with Soulja, who responded by uploading a video of himself in a new white Lamborghini. He then challenged Bow Wow to a race in their Lamborghinis. He vowed, “If I lose to you, I’ll give my pink slip to you. You can have that motherfucker.” Bow Wow responded two days later with a video of him driving his orange Lamborghini through a garage. He trolled Soulja Boy for driving a poor man’s Lamborghini and using plastic rims, among other shades. Days later, Soulja released a video claiming Bow Wow rented the Lamborghini he was driving. He also released a diss track titled “F**k Bow Wow,” in which he called the latter several derogatory names.
Bow Wow responded to Soulja’s diss track with a video in which he dissed his career, saying, “The only reason you’re in the game is because of me.” He followed that up with a diss track titled “What I Think About You” in which he rapped that Soulja’s career was dead. The pair kept going at each other in 2009 but things quietened afterward. Much wasn’t heard about the pair’s beef for many years until September 2016, when Soulja Boy appeared in an interview on Say Cheese! During the interview, he revealed that he and Bow Wow were no longer feuding but were now friends. He said their beef was due to them being young and in different mind spaces.
Soulja Boy added, “We straight now. That Shit crazy. That’s like one of my best home boys. I was just in his crib like two days ago. I’m telling you, once years go by, you get some experience in this industry. You get you some real money, you get off of that shit.” Soulja and Bow Wow proved they were truly reconciled with the release of their joint tape Ignorant Shit. After Soulja called out Drake for not crediting his influence, Bow Wow appeared in an interview with Hollywood Unlocked: Uncensored and credited Soulja for being among the top artists who changed hip-hop. Bow Wow added that Soulja Boy was the “first big digital internet sensation that we saw.”
Bow Wow and Soulja Boy seemed to be feuding again in May 2021 after rumors of them facing off in a Verzuz battle emerged. However, Soulja clarified that it was all love between them.
