Leave it to the internet to call out a flexing rapper with the swiftness.
The net’s latest victim is Soulja Boy who recently claimed to have purchased a Hollywood penthouse for $6 million. It has now been reported that the penthouse Soulja is currently staying in is likely an $895 a night rental on Airbnb.
According to DJ Akademiks, who discovered what could be the Airbnb profile for the home, several people reached out to him about the penthouse being a rental.
Prior to today’s (November 2) discovery of Soulja’s flexing foul, the rapper boasted about how much dough he dropped on the penthouse.
“Spent $6 million for the new penthouse in Hollywood,” Soulja Boy said while conducting a video tour of the penthouse. “Shit crazy. Last night was crazy. I don’t even remember what the fuck happened…My closet bigger than niggas’ apartments. I been to a couple of bitch’s apartments. My closet bigger than they whole apartment.”
An Airbnb listing (that’s no longer available) for what is reportedly the penthouse in the video states that it was used to film several episodes of the HBO show Entourage. Additionally, the house rules for the penthouse warn against any “crazy party’s.”
Soulja Boy answered the allegations online by saying that the penthouse is indeed his and he’s tired of people always questioning him. The post was of course shared by DJ Akademiks.
“Shit crazy, niggas be hating,” the rapper says, sighing. “Can’t even get no $6 million crib for no airbnb. I’ve been in this bitch for about a month. I’m finna be here for another year. I don’t think you can rent no airbnb for a year straight. C’mon, man. Y’all just stop hating, man. Let me do me. I bought the Ferrari, ‘Oh, he rented the Ferrari.’ I get a new crib. Just let me do me. Y’all stop hating, man. Who cares, anyway? Y’all getting paid to figure out how I got my house, nigga this is my house.”
In a video he posted to Twitter, Soulja directly addresses DJ Akademiks and blasts him for fanning the flames of the rumors he’s a fraud. He says he’s not a real news outlet like TMZ, which is a big deal considering the celebrity site more frequently gets dragged for its reporting.
“Aye, DJ Akademiks, you a bitch, nigga,” he says as he tours the house yet again. “You a bitch. Show your house, nigga. Show your fucking house, nigga. This my house, nigga. Suck a dick, nigga. You a fucking, you’re not real media. You’re not TMZ. You’re not E! channel. You ain’t BET News. You a fucking faggot-ass DJ. Suck my dick, nigga. Yeah, this shit on airbnb because I own this crib and I rent it out to motherfuckers when I want to make an extra four bands in one day or something, something that you never heard of, bitch.”
This latest L for Soulja Boy comes months after a spokesperson for World Poker Fund Holdings and CelebrityWorld.com revealed that the rapper “jumped the gun” when he announced that he signed a $400 million endorsement deal with the company.
“There’s no way they could cut a $400 million deal. Endorsement deals are calculated on a lot of different factors. This is not a fully cash transaction,” the spokesperson, Matthew Bird, said while speaking with Forbes in May of this year.
1st: youngin’ you put yourself out there showboating so don’t act surprised when people call you out on your bullshit.
2nd: Since when is TMZ and E! channel real media?
Realist ish I’ve read all day.
I wish these youngsters would save or invest their money, instead of flexing with leases, car rentals and expensive house/condo rentals. I get it, you trying to show out for the gram and chicks. You fools will be collecting a welfare check in 10years talking bout the “good ol days” when uncle had a italian exotic car and a lame chain
2nd realist ish I’ve read all day.
air bnb is a fraud. ive tried to rent an appartment there several times n got always emails from the “owner” sayin hes abroad, asking me to transfer a few thousands $ to an foreign account n he would send the keys by mail… thats why i believe his story. they use others ppls property for scam. u can try it out urself, try to rent any appartment there (but dont transfer any money!!!), its always the same fake bs.
This is a ridiculous post. Obviously air bnb is a legitimate business and company.
What type of stupid ass does a wire transfer to a foreign account. You go to the website and book with Paypal, credit, or debit card. If someone has to do a wire transfer they didn’t go to the site
This dude has been caught telling LIES b4 and we all know you can rent anything out here and you are renting so stop telling lies little boy
This guy’s been booked buying fake rolexes like a hundred times, I’m pretty sure that Pretty Boy Swag money dried up a long time ago
This fool said he just grabbed it for 6m and then he says yeah it’s on airbnb because I rent it out for 4 bands a night lol nigga you just purchased it right? this dude is a clown beyond belief
