Soulja Boy recently did an interview with Kids Take Over, where he discussed his hit song, “Crank That (Soulja Boy).” He also had a theory that it would do even better in terms of virality if he had dropped it in 2023, instead of 2007.
“This was before streaming, really,” Soulja shared. “This was still in iTunes and ringtones. I would have went more viral right now than I did back then. Actually, the f*cking numbers and sh*t that I did back then is f*cking legendary, amazing compared to today’s, from the technology that I was using.”
“Imagine if I had TikTok! What the f*ck?” he added. “You know how many people would have been doing the ‘Crank That’ dance?”
At the time that Soulja Boy originally dropped the song, it was a massive hit. So much so that it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and stayed there for seven non-consecutive weeks.
Earlier this year, the rapper also posted to social media about how he felt that his influence carried into hip-hop today. “Now everyone vlogs their career like me,” he said. “Now everyone uploads their music to the internet,” he wrote. “Now everyone goes live for their fans. I started it. Thank me or not. Flowers/Credit or not.”

Blueface is now being sued for defamation, according to Rolling Stone, after he claimed he was the father of Soulja Boy‘s son. Jackilyn Martinez, the mother of the son she shares with Soulja Boy, was the one to file it in Los Angeles today.
The publication notes that she claimed her lawyers sent Blueface a cease-and-desist, following social media posts that he made about him being the father. “Might be my kid he ain’t even get the DNA test,” the rapper reportedly wrote in a post. In another, he claimed that he had sex with Soulja Boy’s “baby mama the day before your baby shower.”
“There is zero chance that the defendant is plaintiff’s child’s biological father,” Martinez’s filing read, per the outlet.
Martinez filed the lawsuit after Blueface had reportedly mocked the cease-and-desist on social media, which resulted in her getting death threats.
“Plaintiff is gravely concerned for herself and her child’s safety and well being, and plaintiff is extremely nervous and afraid to go outside and/or be in public,” she added in the filing. Martinez notes that she also believes Blueface is making the comments to get attention by “engaging in a feud” with Soulja Boy.
As part of the lawsuit, she is seeking “real and punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and a permanent injunction barring Porter from defaming her.”
Blueface was lucky enough to avoid jail time (so far) in his Las Vegas strip club shooting case. He’s currently got close eyes on him as he serves his two-year suspended sentence. However, the 26-year-old continues to move surprisingly recklessly. Earlier this week, he and Chrisean Rock took their co-parenting problems to the internet once again. At the same time, Blue and Soulja Boy have been trading shots, with the former even pulling up on the latter and making NSFW claims about his baby mama, Jackilyn Martinez.
“I f**ked your baby mama the day before your baby shower,” the father of three told the “Crank That” rapper during their argument over who would win a Verzuz. “Till Soulja get a DNA test that’s my child lil bro I’m the daddy now… What’s old about your baby mama sucking my d**k?” Blue taunted Soulja amid their fight. According to TMZ, Martinez isn’t taking the situation so well, as she’s suing her baby daddy’s op for defamation.
While she does admit to having sex with Blueface (using protection) once in 2018, Martinez says they never hooked up after that. He reportedly received a cease and desist letter on Tuesday, but instead of complying and taking down his posts, the California native went on to taunt Soulja’s BM on Twitter. “Nobody ever said your name. I don’t even know who you are,” he wrote in response to the legal action. Since sending the memo, Martinez says death threats are coming her way, generating fear for her family’s safety.
There’s been plenty of drama brewing between Soulja Boy and Blueface this December, and so far, most of it has been documented for Instagram to see. Although many people are resolving to leave the toxic “Thotiana” rapper and his antics in 2023, others enjoy living vicariously through his drama rather than getting involved in messes of their own. If you fall in the latter category, you can read more about Blue and Soulja’s beef at the link below.
The ongoing feud between rappers Soulja Boy and Blueface has taken a legal turn. The Chicago rapper’s son’s mother has recently sent a cease-and-desist to Blueface.
Escalated Drama
Amidst an ongoing feud between rappers Soulja Boy and Blueface, the conflict has escalated legally, with the mother of the “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” rapper’s son, Jackie, sending a cease-and-desist letter to Blueface.
The two artists have been exchanging heated words on social media, with Blueface claiming he would defeat Soulja Boy in a Verzuz Battle. The continued drama escalated when the Los Angeles rapper made derogatory comments about Jackie, prompting her to take legal action.
Soulja Boy Vs. Blueface
In a recent interview with Funny Marco, Blueface boldly declared that he would “beat” Soulja Boy in a Verzuz Battle. In this competition, artists face off with their best hits. Soulja Boy responded on Instagram stating:
“You gon’ perform Bussdown Thotiana 5 times in a row, cut it out n*gga.” He continued, “That ain’t including “Make it clap,” “ Rick and Morty,” I got songs with 50 cent, all type of sh*t, like bro do you really know my catalogue?”
The exchange continued on Twitter (X), with Blueface taunting Soulja Boy writing:
“I hit yah Bm already soulja boy ask her who perform better hit for hit.” Blueface then went on a Twitter rampage as he wrote, “Soulja kissing d*ck every time he see his child, might be my kid he ain’t even get the DNA test.” He continued as he posted a picture of both Soulja Boy and Soulja Boy’s baby’s mother, Jackie kissing as he tweeted, “D*ck all on cuz breath.”
Jackie Responds
Following the “Thotiana” rapper’s claim, Soulja Boy’s son’s mother, Jackie, also known as “@msjackieceo,” took to her Instagram story to address the situation, saying:
“The statements being made about me are defamatory and false, and my lawyers have sent a cease and desist to Blueface.”
Days later, the “Lamb Flow” rapper tweeted about Blueface’s fiancée and mother of his children, Jaidyn Alexis, writing, “Wya? @jaidynalexis.”
In response to Soulja Boy’s tweet mentioning Jaidyn, Blueface expressed strong disapproval, stating:
“When I heard the word ‘Jaidyn’ come out his mouth, now that’s where he f*cked up at; that one’s going to cost you every time. I turn to a savage about Jaidyn.”
Old News
Furthermore, in an Instagram Live exchange between the two rappers, Soulja Boy began by questioning why Blueface was talking about old issues. The California native retorted, asking:
“What’s old about your BM sucking my d*ck?” Soulja Boy responded by questioning why Blueface was discussing things that happened before she even knew him. Blueface then dropped a bombshell, claiming, “I fucked your baby mama the day before your baby shower.”
During their live interaction, Soulja Boy acknowledged his earlier tweet about Jaidyn and clarified that he considers Blueface his “Big Bro” and that he was just trolling. The “Come Through” rapper said:
“I was just popping it, did a nigga really f*ck your baby mama.”
Following the Instagram Live exchange, there were expectations for Blueface and Soulja Boy to meet up and fight one another. The Blue Girls Club creator went live, showing that he had arrived at the address Soulja Boy provided for the meetup, but the “Crank That” rapper was not present.
Blueface In More Drama
Blueface has been vocal on social media, engaging in exchanges with his ex and baby mother,Chrisean Rock, and rapper Offset.
The rapper sparked controversy by making startling claims about Offset and Chrisean Rock, alleging that the two had a sexual encounter while Offset was still married toCardi B. In response to these allegations, Offset denied any involvement and stated:
“I ain’t never talk or touch that lady. Real talk man you need some help!”
Nicki Minaj Stands Her Ground
Just like Soulja Boy and Blueface, there have been several instances of rappers airing their grievances on social media. Nicki Minaj is no exception, as she has been “standing on business” during her PinkFriday 2 era, calling out public figures like journalist Elliott Wilson.
Last week, Blueface got into the most recent in a seemingly endless series of dramas. The most recent is a beef with Soulja Boy that’s developed quite a bit since it first broke and now has Wack 100 weighing in. The bad blood began when Blue claimed publicly that he thought he could beat Soulja Boy in a “Verzuz.” The competitions are increasingly becoming one of the primary stages for rappers to compete head to head and it has led to some artists making bold claims about their potential.
Soulja Boy didn’t take the alleged diss lying down and claimed that he could easily take Blue. During a hilarious Instagram livestream he claimed that if he faced Blueface in a “Verzuz” Blue would just play his 2018 hit song “Thotiana” five times in a row. But that’s when the beef escalated from just music to something a little more serious when Blueface challenged Soulja Boy to a fight. They both seem up to the task and have confirmed that they’re in the process of organizing a brawl. That’s when Wack 100 felt like he had to chime in. Check out his response to the situation below.
“Lets knock off the BS,” Wack 100 begins. “Soulja I know you’ll fight I know you have the heart but you can’t whoop Blueface. No way no how. Stop the antics keep it music.” That caused Blueface himself to respond claiming that Soulja Boy is bringing a different energy with him than other beefs he’s been involved with.
Fans in the comments seem to agree that Soulja Boy has the better hits, but Blueface could win a fight. “He got a point it was about music lmao blue knew he couldn’t beat him w music so he made it personal,” one of the top comments reads. “Blue face actually has trained boxing lol. Anyone who has ever trained knows blue face wins,” another comment reads. What do you think of Wack 100’s take on the Blueface and Soulja Boy beef as it’s escalated to a physical fight? Let us know in the comment section below.
In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop, some things are unpredictable. And the prospect of a versus battle always sparks heated debates among fans. In a recent interview with Funny Marco, Blueface didn’t shy away from addressing the hypothetical versus battle question. Moreover, he confidently asserted his supremacy in a face-off against the iconic Soulja Boy. Funny Marco, known for extracting candid responses from his interviewees, cut to the chase. He asked Blueface, “Hit for hit, who would win? You or Soulja Boy.” Blueface, never one to mince words, responded with an unapologetic confidence that left no room for interpretation.
“If I were to be honest,” Blueface began. “I’m a professional performer. I’d outperform anyone, hit for hit.” This bold declaration speaks to Blueface’s unwavering self-assurance and belief in himself as an entertainer. The “Thotiana” rapper isn’t just considering the musical catalog but places a heavy emphasis on the performance aspect. He hinted at a level of stage presence and showmanship that he believes sets him apart.
Blueface’s rise in the hip-hop scene has been marked by his unique flow, distinctive voice, and an unapologetic approach to his craft. Along with the drama of his two baby-mamas in the ever-swirling media landscape. The self-proclaimed “Famous Cryp” has consistently brought a different flavor to the rap game. And his claim of being a “professional performer” aligns with his reputation for delivering energetic live performances.
While Soulja Boy boasts a legendary status with a string of iconic hits and a significant impact on the genre, Blueface’s confidence in his ability to outshine anyone on stage adds an intriguing layer to the hypothetical versus battle scenario. Verzus battles have become a cultural phenomenon, providing a platform for artists to showcase their hits and compete in a friendly yet competitive manner. The thought of Blueface and Soulja Boy going hit for hit on a virtual stage has undoubtedly raised eyes on social media. What are your thoughts? Who would win the battle between Blueface and Soulja Boy?
Soulja Boy is making headlines once again. The rapper/entrepreneur has introduced his successful clothing brand, SODMG, to the iconic Melrose Ave in Los Angeles.

Rihanna x PUMA
The intersection of hip-hop and fashion is constantly evolving, with artists making impactful crossovers in the fashion industry. Recently, it was announced that singer and business mogul Rihannawould be collaborating with PUMA for her highly-anticipated shoe collection.
Nicki Minaj recently took to social media to confront a pressing concern involving the Barbz, her loyal fan base, who have been making online threats on her behalf. Additionally, she played mediator between rappers Soulja Boy and J. Cole, showcasing her peacemaker persona. Nicki, The Peacemaker On Nov. 6, Nicki Minaj took on the role […]
In the immortal words of Erykah Badu, artists are sensitive about their sh*t. “Malibu” rapper Soulja Boy’s latest social media rant epitomized that. Last week, on Lil Yachty’s podcast A Safe Place, J. Cole shared his initial response to Soulja’s breakthrough 2007 single, “Crank That,” with which he wasn’t thrilled. Soulja was not pleased with the remarks.
Immediately after hearing Cole’s comments, Soulja took to X (formerly Twitter) to blast the rapper. The rant began on November 4 and ended on Monday. But later on that day, Soulja apologized to Cole for his online tangent.
“My bad dawg. J. Cole, sorry for the confusion,” he said. “Keep doing your sh*t. We [are] from two different worlds. I stand on what I stand on. It’s hard coming from where I did, man. I dealt with a lot of hate my whole career, so it was just messed to think it would come from you .”
My bad dawg. @JColeNC sorry for the confusion. keep doing your shit we from two different worlds. I stand on what I stand on, it’s hard coming from where I did man. I dealt with a lot of hate my whole career so it was just messed to think it would come from you.
Just hours prior, Soulja was still on the defense, which confused his followers. Ultimately, another musician stepped in to diffuse the tension, according to Soulja. “Nicki [Minaj] just told me I took what he said wrong,” Soulja said. “And that he was showing love. So I’m gonna let it go. My bad, y’all, I really thought dude was hating on me .”
Nicki just told me I took what he said wrong. And that he was showing love. So I’m gonna let it go. My bad y’all I really thought dude was hating on me
My real friends were playing Three 6 Mafia, Lil Jon when [Soulja Boy] came out… Whatever the f*ck was poppin’, whatever new rendition of Black culture was penetrating, like, music coming up, in the South, they were on. A lot of that shit for me artistically, and what I stood for morally as an artist, I was conflicted. I turned from a hater to an appreciator. Like, what can I find that’s amazing about this? What can I find that’s good about this? What can I find that’s going on? That sh*t changed me as an artist. I became a better artist.
