Sometimes people take things too far, especially rappers. Whether it’s for the sake of gaining attention, or the urge to disrespect a rival MC. Some things are just lame to say, no matter the context.
Take Soulja Boy, who is not nearly as popular as he was 15 years ago, but took the opportunity on Mother’s Day to take some low blows at producer Metro Boomin, seemingly out of nowhere.
In a now-deleted post on X, Soulja wrote, “F**k that n***a mama!!!!!!!!!! Don’t speak on my name b***h! You sacrificed your own mom @MetroBoomin you a puppet. All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mom back @MetroBoomin was it worth it?”
In a separate, since-deleted post, he wrote, “Dig that n***a mama up and throw her back in that b***h.”
This is extremely disrespectful considering that the producer’s mother was killed by her husband in a murder-suicide back in June 2022.
So why is the “Crank That” rapper angry at Metro? Seemingly, it’s over a tweet that the trap producer posted in 2012: “My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.”
That one tweet from 12 years ago affected Soulja so much that he went on a spree just throwing every insult he could at Metro and his dead mother.
The posts on Mother’s Day were so low that 21 Savage stepped in between them, writing on X, “Speaking on a nigga mama like shit a game you gone shit on yourself when I see you boy.“
On Wednesday, Soulja Boy finally owned up to his actions and apologized to Metro in a now-deleted tweet. “I apologize to @MetroBoomin for over reacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old.”
Despite his maturity when it came to Metro, Soulja still has smoke for 21 Savage. He let it be known during an Instagram live on Wednesday.
Hopefully, Soulja Boy follows through with therapy and anger management courses, because this is not it.
