After more than 14 years as a recording artist, Soulja Boy says he’s switching lanes in 2022.
The “Crank That” rapper announced on Instagram Live that now he’s focusing on television and film.
“2022, my new TV show coming out January 21 [with] Revolt TV, shout-out to P. Diddy,” the 31-year-old MC said. “Being Draco…we going into the year with all positive energy, you know what I’m saying? I ain’t got no beef with nobody. I ain’t got no smoke, no problems, no nothin’. All I’m doing is TV show and movies, I’m a actor now.”
Soulja Boy says he’s not feuding in 2022 after past beefs with Kanye West, Chris Brown, Bow Wow, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ice-T, and the late Young Dolph.
In November, Soulja was removed from the last two shows on The Millennium Tour because of his feud with Dolph. Promoter G-Squared Events made the decision because of the possibility of a retaliation against him.
As previously reported, Soulja was ready to get violent in August when Kanye scrapped the verse he recorded for the song “Remote Control,” on the Donda album.
“I wanna fight. Do u know how to fight? @kanyewest,” he wrote as part of a long Twitter post. The Atlanta MC also had a warning for West: “I might diss u everyday for the rest of my life how I’m feeling.”
In November, Yeezy apologized on Instagram. “Love you bro. I should have told you I wasn’t gonna use the verse,” Ye admitted. Soulja responded, “Love you too bro. That’s all I wanted.”
Soulja Boy isn’t completely retiring from music, as he plans to drop new music titled “Heart Break Soulja” on Valentine’s Day.
