Soulja Boy rose to prominence back in the late 2000s for his self-published single, Crank That (Soulja Boy), which topped music charts in the United States for nearly two months. Soulja Boy ended up riding the wave of popularity that the song generated for years until his fame eventually mellowed out.
These days, the 31-year-old rapper, who was born DeAndre Cortez Way, has become more well-known for making bootleg gaming consoles that never launch and for taking shots at prominent people within the gaming industry like former Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime. Most recently, he was heard making the outrageous claim of owning Atari, only for Atari to quickly deny his statements.
Soulja Boy continues to shoot his shot only to be shot down
On one hand, you can't exactly fault somebody for shooting their shot. That's exactly how Soulja Boy's career started. Because of this, his relentless approach to apparently trying to make it in the video game industry shouldn't come as a surprise. However, there comes a point in time when people ought to learn their lesson. It appears that Soulja Boy hasn't learned his yet.
