Soulja Boy has launched a verbal tirade at the media, calling them out for focusing on things like his new Lamborghini chain instead of his philanthropic efforts.
The controversy started when footage of the teen rapper showcasing his new remote-controlled, black diamond encrusted sports car chain began making its rounds on the 'net.
"This my brand new remote control black Lamborghini chain," he said in the video. "It's black just like my pinky ring and my two bracelets is all black like that... Rich N*gga Sh*t Part Six... Remote control chain n*gga! Let me show y'all boys something... N*gga gonna be like, 'What the f*ck? They shoulda never gave you n*ggas money.'"
Media outlets quickly jumped on the story, calling the young man foolish (among other choice words) for his purchase.
Never one to go without defending himself, Soulja Boy issued a statement via Miss Info TV blasting the media for what they choose to cover.
"1ST OF ALL I didn't pay ANYTHING for my black Lamborghini chain I got it FREE as a birthday present from my jeweler when I turned 19 on July 28!," he wrote. "Even if I did pay for it who are you to judge me on what I purchase with MY money? Why do the media blow up the things that they think will make me look stupid or ignorant. Why not publicize or put me in the spotlight when I do positive things?...Why not step in when Ice-T was dissing me why not call up and have a sit down to squash that beef. THINK ABOUT IT A 40 YEAR OLD SOMETHING GANGSTA N*GGA VS. A 16 YEAR OLD KID (AT THE TIME). What if he really did have O.G. crip n*ggaz that had a price on my head to murder me? WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO STEP IN AND STOP THAT? HUH?. you worried about a black diamond chain that I received as birthday present??? WTF?.What about when me and Tigger was in D.C. buying all those can foods for the homeless??? Why not publicize when them n*ggaz ran in my house and tried to kill me and I had to defend myself and blast they a**. WHY NOT SHOW THAT ON TV???? HUH!???? CUZ U DONT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THE REAL SH*T THATS GOIN BEHIND THE SCENES U WANT EVERYTHING WATERED DOWNED AND FAKE THATS WHY! F*CK THAT! I'm all the way REAL 100."
