"She Make It Clap" is the new track taking over TikTok and Soulja Boy says he has multiple deals on the table.

Regardless of what someone may think of Soulja Boy, one thing he's going to do is create a wave. Soulja is deserving of his roses as he was one of, if not credited as the first rapper who trolled the internet and went viral, so it's unsurprising that he's topping the charts over on TikTok. Weeks ago, he unleashed his "She Make It Clap" single and it quickly became the next big thing on the social media platform. In true Soulja fashion, he's taken to Twitter to brag about his success and declare that it's time for a Soulja Boy takeover.
