Soulja Boy is never one to shy away from tooting his own horn but this time he may have gone a little overboard. Yesterday, the Atlanta hit-maker tweeted, “I wrote ‘Whip My Hair’ for Willow Smith.” Understandably, people could be excused for assuming that that means the 20 year old superstar was the main creative force behind the hit. But the real story is something different.
It turns out that “Whip My Hair” was, in fact, written by the songwriting team of Ronald Jackson and Janae Rockwell. But during the song Willow Smith does sing, “Hop up out the bed / Turn my swag on,” a line from Soulja’s 2009 anthem, “Turn My Swag On.” Soulja Boy reportedly trademarked the phrase, so the man DeAndre Way did, in an indirect way, contribute to the creation of “Whip My Hair” and for that he likely received some credit or monetary compensation.
YES ITS TRUE I WROTE “WHIP MY HAIR” FOR WILLOW SMITH. THATS WHY SHE SAYS HOP OUT THE BED TURN MY SWAG ON. WE GETTING $$$ 2011 NO GAMES
Soulja Boy’s most recent album, The DeAndre Way, was released in November and it’s filled with songs that no one could dispute he wrote.
Souljah boy is a bitch, Y he diddnt press Keri Hilson for sayin it? Ice T was right and souljah boy need to stop tryina act like hes so fuckin talented. Hes fucking dumb stating he wrote the song for Willow, no bitch you only came up with the phrase and Willow not the only one used it in her song.
/dead at the shot at the end
soulja boy still confirming that he’s a tool. new year, same shit.
Soulja Boy would take credit for a little girls song.
Soulja Boy is bullying royalties out of a 9 year old. Wow!!! 13,000 first week sales will do that to you. Pathetic!!!
IT WILL MAKE HIM MORE MONEY THAN The DeAndre Way DID. lol
lmao!!! Mad funny..
soulja boy shut yo non talent havin ass up

C’mon nigga, Soulja Boy is one of the hottest nigga in the rap game. Shawty Mane became my new favorite rapper. Behind Gucci Mane, Shawty Mane is awesome. I jam Whip My Hair everyday. That song is more hardcore than some bullshit on Recovery or Distant Relatives. Whip My Hair is real hip-hop!
It’s Gucci Time!

“Soulja Boy’s most recent album, The DeAndre Way, was released in November and it’s filled with songs that NO ONE COULD DISPUTE HE WROTE.”
That says it all about him!
this guys a fucking clown. i bet people dont even download his wack music for free…why do u guys even post stories about him?…i guess someone cares…otherwise u probably wouldnt post anything about him…
he got over 50,000 downloads of his most recent free song. Was terrible tbh, sounded like he was wasted when he recorded it/wrote it
I gotta admit, that last sentence is pretty funny.
THIS NIGGA IS A COKE HEAD
[…]and it’s filled with songs that no one could dispute he wrote.
xD
made my day 😀
We in the gay community support Andre to tha fullest but this sexy bouy need to lay off the cocaine a bit. or atleast if you sniff dont tweet high. lol
you are supremely lame. i would like to see you dead. for one you are a douche bag, i hate your name. go hang out at the ultra lounge with your other ass tickling guy friends.
LOOOOOOOL. What a dumbass, this is just … I got no words.
this is bullshit! how many rappers have you heard reusing old B.I.G. or Tupac lines
even Jay-Z lines, the difference is Jay wouldnt want to claim to have written some wack rappers song
i would keep quiet if i were him. People that got swagga got it 24/7 they aint need to turn it on.
read my mind
FTA: “Soulja Boy’s most recent album, The DeAndre Way, was released in November and it’s filled with songs that no one could dispute he wrote.” hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Diggy Simmons has more street cred than this incredibly lame asshole. She’s a little girl. So what if she used some line from one his gay songs. I’m sure Willy cut a check.
soulja girl needz 2 shut dat shit. he only sayin dat bullshit bcuz hiz album just went pocket lint and he’z poor now. willow smith iz shinin and soulja girl needz 2 fall back. stop pickin on dat 9 yr old girl.
ROC NATION BITCH!
If your album is trash and flops, next best thing to do is steal the spotlight from a little girl who will probably outsell you too
hahaha thats awesome. fame might make you crazy too, especially his type of fame.
WHO CARES? WHy can some idiot 9yr old be packaged and sent out with wearing the “COOL FRESH STYLE” her fucking Fresh Prince bought her.
Then someone builds them self from the ground up, weak or hot, and they get eaten out when they read lyrics off their iPhone for a “freestyle”.
hell fucking TECH n9ne coulda sold out and did whip my hair as some parody. and blown up into mainstream cause he finally “lightened up”
SOULJA is BASED MUSIC, and goofy antics create haters, which creates $$$
