Soulja Boy Claps Back at Critics After Diamond Chain Mishap Onstage
Soulja Boy, the rap sensation known for his bold statements and viral moments, didn’t hold back when addressing critics who mocked him for a recent jewellery mishap during one of his live performances. The incident occurred when his diamond chain broke off his neck on stage, leading to some social media ridicule.
The rapper took to his Instagram Story over the weekend to set the record straight and fire back at his detractors, specifically calling out NoJumper. He began by explaining the situation, stating, “NoJumper, if you don’t shut yo bitch-ass up, n-gga, and stop posting me with this random sh-t. I had on tennis chains.” Soulja Boy went on to elaborate, saying, “I had on too many chains, first of all. This mothaf–kin chain too heavy for this link. You’s a b-tch, n-gga, when I get to L.A. we gon’ do the interview, n-gga. Get off my d-ck, n-gga.”
The incident, where Soulja Boy’s chain slid off his neck during his performance, was captured on video and quickly went viral. While some fans found humor in the situation, others questioned the authenticity of his jewelry. Comments ranged from “N-gga chain fell apart like some damn Legos” to references of him buying watches at mall stands.
Despite the jewelry hiccup, Soulja Boy is keeping his focus on his upcoming shows, which include performances in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California this week. Ensuring his jewelry situation is under control while performing appears to be a priority.
In addition to addressing the jewelry incident, Soulja Boy expressed his disappointment with the recent MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) and their celebration of Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary. He criticized the VMAs for missing key performances, such as Travis Scott, Lil Baby, and 50 Cent, despite the event supposedly marking 50 years of Hip Hop. He also questioned the absence of artists like Drake, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, suggesting that the MTV awards show has lost its touch.
The 50th anniversary of Hip Hop has been a topic on Soulja Boy’s mind lately. Last month, on the genre’s actual birthday, he reflected on his contributions to the culture on Twitter, highlighting how he pioneered trends such as vlogging careers, uploading music to the internet, and interacting with fans via live streams. Soulja Boy emphasized that he played a pivotal role in shaping the new wave of Hip Hop with the advent of the internet and streaming platforms.
