Recently, Soulja Boy said that he was preparing to go to jail. Following the Twitter post regarding this, Soulja Boy spoke with XXL about his thoughts on the matter.
“I ain’t scared,” said Soulja Boy, who is headed to jail on a gun charge. “It just is what it is. I done been to jail before, but not for this long of a time…So, it is what it is. I gotta deal with life…I’ve had a lot of success. I just look at this as a minor bump. I’ll get focused back on the music after it’s over with.”
Soulja Boy’s success in music is one reason the rapper feels he is being “targeted” by law enforcement officials, he says.
“I just feel like I’m a young, successful rapper,” Soulja Boy said. “I do a lot of stuff. Instead of me being targeted or me being put through the whole situation, there’s other criminals and other stuff going on that they can be attacking instead of focusing on me…I got a name and they go after anybody with a name.”
