Soulja Boy’s hoverboard company, Souljaboard, was scammed out of $175,000, BuzzFeed News reports.
The rapper has been hit with numerous chargebacks, meaning credit card orders were disputed by card holders, but processed and charged to the merchant’s account.
Soulja Boy used payment processor Stripe as a middle man between customers and his company. He wrote an email to Stripe last month asking about the negative balance on his account.
“I need help all the payments are fraud,” Soulja Boy says. “And it sent my account to negative because they all say they weren’t authorized. Please help in any way you can thanks. I don’t want to have to pay all this money because of frauds is there any way to reverse these payments and get my account to Good standing.”
Buzz Feed cites Stripe documents that say as many as three-quarters of hoverboard purchases that go through the company result in chargebacks.
got cha
DX with the award winning journalism to the rescue….
anyone riding these things is a clown, heard some kid overseas fell off one and got hit by a bus,
I want one they aren’t for clowns if you use it to go to class if you livee off campus I bet you’d skip less classes. especially if it has a bluetooth speaker to make the ride to class even more fun.
He is asking for help…?? Someone who has had the luxuries of fine living and women for much of his adult life? And whom has he helped along the way, in return? My only guess is that Karma has struck his pockets.
I agree with you. I always find it hard to sympathize with people who flash their money and bitches to people that have less. Oh well, I hope this motherfucker rots like the garbage he is.
I agree this guy shows his money off to the extreme I commend him trying make more but most time these businesses fail! He does reality tv now his music career washed up big style.
I commend Soulja Boy for having a business.
Running a business isn’t easy. Unexpected uunexpected things happen, that can cause major money losses. You have to keep a eye on almost every aspect of your business.
People working for you will rip you off. People youare making deals with will rip you off. People that are managing your money will rip you off.
You can’t leave your businesses unattended, while you run around chasing females and groupies.
Damn, what kind of people you dealing with lol? You must dealing with hood niggas all day. Once you have successful business relationships, there tends to be less “ripping each other off” because people recognize there’s more money to be made in the long run.
I love you soulja boy
He lucky that shit didn’t blow up under his feet. These Chinese niggas are putting out Scarface hits with these cheap-made hoverboards.
