What started out as a beef with Chris Brown on social media
has caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, 50 Cent, and now
Kanye West. West wants to collaborate with Soulja Boy, if he wins a celebrity
boxing match with Chris Brown. This incident reminds me of how fights used to
be back in the day, except it’s not back in the day. This is not going to end
well for one of these young men.
So far, it seems as if Soulja is getting more attention for
his involvement. The rapper posted videos of him training and preparing for his
bout with Brown. He has also conducted interviews with his coach Floyd Mayweather,
where he discussed the beef and promoted the forthcoming fight. There were also
reports of Soulja Boy being robbed while live on Instagram, but differing
reports claimed that nothing of the sort took place.
In the wake of Kanye West’s “calling dibs” on working with
Soulja Boy, news surfaced that Soulja Boy’s home was robbed and that he also
owed thousands of dollars in rent money. After 50 Cent posted a screenshot of
the report of Soulja Boy getting robbed, Soulja took to social media to
respond, asserting that he wasn’t’ at home during the robbery and if he had
been he would “shoot a n***a for my respect.” Soulja Boy also pushed back
against claims that he was going to be evicted, with a rep calling story
reported by TMZ to be “wildly inaccurate.”
Soulja Boy has had issues with guns in the past. In December,
he was arrested after someone tipped off police about guns in his home. There
are also reports that Soulja was fired from “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” after
threatening his girlfriend, Nia Riley, who is also a co-star on the show.
Soulja Boy was removed from the show’s opening credits after the first two
episodes. The rapper says that he quit the show because it was “too ratchet”
and teased that he has his own show in the works.
Financially, it seems that this fight with Chris Brown and
the added exposure could benefit Soulja Boy in the long run, especially if he
really does have a show in the works.
This whole situation is a mess. And it's totally ridiculous.
