New Jersey doesn’t have the greatest reputation in the world and Soulja Boy got a first-hand understanding of that. Though the people of NJ have been accused of bad attitudes while shows like The Sopranos and Jersey Shore haven’t necessarily helped the cause. However, neither show played a role in Soulja Boy’s overall issues with the state but rather, the attitude of some of the residents that live there. When asked if they would rather $250 in food stamps or dinner with Soulja Boy, plenty of women opted for the former.
Needless to say, the “Crank Dat” star was far from appreciative of how New Jersey residents regard him. He went on a lengthy tirade on Instagram Live where he took out his frustrations with the entire state while quoting Chief Keef’s “Faneto.” “Bi**hes could not be in the same room with me. Ya’ll n***as gon’ die in the hood, gon’ die broke, and gon’ never touch a million dollars. Never gon’ touch 30 million, ya’ll ain’t never gon’ touch 100K in a day, you gon’ die broke, you lived your whole life broke, bi**ch. You ain’t gon’ never be sh*t.”
Soulja Boy Retracts Apology
After blowing up on the state of New Jersey, he returned to Instagram to offer an apology to his fans. “I’m going live right now to shout out to all my fans in New Jersey. I feel like yesterday I overreacted in the video,” Draco said. “I ain’t even watch the video. I just seen the caption that n***as was putting and I went live and went off.” However, a commenter told him that he was banned from entering New Jersey, leading Soulja Boy to retract his apology.
“See, look, I’m trying to be nice… Aye, n****a. Fuck New Jersey. n-gga! We gonna come and blow that shit up, that’s what I’m saying, man,” Soulja Boy said before claiming that he was done with the apologies. “Fuck New Jersey, n***a. We’ll come blow that shit up. We’ll come shoot that shit up. Y’all ain’t got shit. Y’all n***as broke. Fuck y’all, n****a. I’m done apologizing. Fuck Jersey, I’m standing on it.”
