Soulja Boy apparently had some things to get off his chest on Saturday (February 27) when he fired off a series of tweets about what makes him different from other rappers. Although it’s unclear what prompted the Twitter rant, he appeared to take aim at current rappers in general.
“These rappers pussy,” he began. “Opps dropping left and right. Rap game faker than WWE. I don’t think none of these n-ggaz popped shit to keep it a stack. If it come down to it I’m a pop me a n-gga. That’s a fact.”
Considering the number of recent shootings in the rap community — both fatal and non-fatal — Soulja’s comments don’t necessarily track. In February 2020, Brooklyn-bred rapper Pop Smoke was killed during what investigators initially classified as a botched robbery.
Then last November, Chicago rapper King Von was gunned down outside of an Atlanta hookah bar following an altercation with Quando Rondo’s entourage. Only a few days later, BadAzz Music Syndicate rapper Mo3 was assassinated on a Dallas highway at the age of 28.
Jim Jones Reacts To Benny The Butcher Shooting With Controversial Take
But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Shortly after the fatal shootings, Boosie Badazz was shot in the leg while in Dallas for Mo3’s vigil. Around the same time, Benny The Butcher was also shot in the leg while leaving a Houston Walmart. That’s not to say there aren’t rappers out there who are spitting about a life they’ve never lived but perhaps the wave of gun violence can serve as a brutal reminder some people really don’t play.
As Jim Jones has said on multiple occasions, he believes being a rapper is the one of the “most dangerous” jobs in the world. Following Benny’s shooting, the Dipset vet shared an article about the incident on Instagram and reiterated in the caption, “So y’all still don’t agree with wht I said. Being a rapper is 1 of thee most dangerous jobs in the world. Get well soon bro stay safe stay dangerous.”
Guess it’s that time of month for him again. 5 more days of this to go.
I give him credit for the way he made it big…. but this dude thinks he’s waay bigger in the rap game then he actually is. He has hits, but He was always a garbage rapper.
Look like this dumbass been hitting the crack pipe again
How’s that “comeback” going for you, Soulja?
He got a point though. All these dead rappers that was killed (or shot) in 2020 was taken out by non-rappers. Just because rappers is getting killed every month that dont make them killas.That just means rappers in general are becoming trophies. I suppose if you in a gang, killing a rapper that reps another click is as big as killing a leader. You killing the face and mouthpiece of the opposition.
Seems like SouljaBoy is back smoking SouljaRocks again.
Guess “opps” is the new cool word in rap
But he was a mark too though. Dude got home invaded and shot some dudes he rolled with … in Atlanta, where you allowed to smoke a home invader ass nagga. Then he promptly ran away to L.A the very next day… also cri d about how he couldn’t murk a nagga and shit…shooting and killing are 2 different conversations
Oh he’s off his meds and it’s the first of the month so he broke again
Do you even rap, bro?
Just like this druggie on crack’s chain. Fake as fools gold
Randy Orton won’t speak but he could still rock the mic better than Soulja. I bet he could rap better without trying
