Soulja Boy On Removing Face Tats:

Rapper Soulja Boy recently addressed his decision to remove his face tattoos. In a year when face tats became all the rage, he decided he wanted to get rid of some of his ink. But he says the decision was more complicated than people think.

"Um, I mean, yeah man it's just like me just reflecting back and looking at it like even when I got them when I first seen the myself in the mirror, it was a little crazy," Soulja Boy says. "It was for various reasons, not just one. I took it upon myself. Nobody made me do it. I felt like I didn't need them on my face anymore."

"I don't regret it," he added. "I'm not mad at myself for having it. I just look at it like, that was a point in my life where I was growing up. It was in the moment when I got it. Now I think differently. I feel like I don't really need it on my face. I have a lot of stuff to do."

Soulja Boy Working With Converse

Rapper Soulja Boy has teamed up with Converse Inc., Matt & Kim and Andrew W.K. for the track "I'm a Goner" for Converse's Three Artists series. The track is a collaborative effort between the pop-rapper, indie duo and heavy metal star. There will be a music video premiering on August 21st at 1:30 p.m. EST on MTV 2.

"When Kim and I sat down to write 'I'm A Goner' we knew we wanted to make a song people can party to," said Matt & Kim's Matt Johnson in a press release. "Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K.'s lyrics and energy bring a whole new element to the song that we couldn't be more excited about."

Kid CuDi participated in the series in 2010. The Cleveland rapper appeared on the track "All Summer," with Vampire Weekend's Rostam and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino.

Soulja Boy Removes His Face Tattoos

Soulja Boy is bucking against the face tattoo trend. The rapper shared that he was getting several of his face tats removed during a recent trip to New York City. Face tattoos have become more prevalent among rappers in the past year, but many have speculated that the trend could hurt some artists' marketing cache.

Either way, Soulja Boy says he's done with the face ink.

"Just woke in New York its a good day bless everybody reading this tweet live it up," he tweeted. "I'm getting my face tattoos removed today."

Soulja Boy's Blonde 'Do

Soulja Boy has added his name to the growing list of recording artists who have dyed their hair blonde. Joining Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa, the Atlanta pop-rapper added a huge blonde streak to his 'do and posted pics online for everyone to see.

He must need some attention.

His hair now has a golden hue, which is probably mean to distract from the fact that his records don't sell anymore. Soulja Boy offered no explanation thus far for the switcheroo but let's hope its a temporary thing.

At least it's not a face tattoo...

Soulja Boy Says Hackers Posted Rant

Soulja Boy found himself in the middle of controversy after a racist and homophobic rant was posted on his Facebook page, during which it appeared the rapper blasted white people for coming to his Facebook page to criticize his music. Following the expected backlash, Soulja Boy has issued an official statement saying that the post in question was not his, but hackers who used to be the administrators of his account.

"I wanted to clear the air and let everyone know that my Facebook got hacked," Soulja Boy said. "I had administrators on my account that no longer work with me. The hackers used these old accounts [to] post hateful messages. This is not done by me or anyone on my team and I'm upset that I am being labeled as a racist and homophobic person."

Soulja Boy's Racist Rant

Soulja Boy exploded in a racist tirade against critics on his Facebook page. The rapper blasted anyone who 'likes' his Facebook page just to trash him as an artist, and he went so far as to target White people, in particular. Perez Hilton posted the rant in its entirety.

"WHO THE f*ck "likes" an artist on facebook who they dont LIKE. DUMB A**," the rapper began. "If you dont like ME or my music UNLIKE the page and let the people who do enjoy their artist giving updates and music out. sh*t getting out of hand now.

Soulja Boy Discusses His Brother's Death

Soulja Boy recently opened up about the unexpected death of his younger brother earlier this year. The rapper revealed the devastating effect the tragedy had on his family, with his older brother taking the loss especially hard.

"Family loss for any person is hard," Soulja Boy said. "It just was hard for me because, you know how that goes, you just want to be with them one last time. It was unexpected, I was messed up. I'm still messed up about that to this day. My family, everybody was financially straight when the funeral came. My father he was really messed up about it, and that created more drama and problems in the family. My other brother threatened to take his life, and that just really had my family just real messed up."

"It's real hard for me but I just been trying to do the best that I can," he continued. "I wanted to be with my family and not do this music but we got an understanding. I have to keep going for my fans and keep doing music and movie to provide for them [my family]. But it's just like man, once that happens it makes you question a lot of things. Everybody gotta go one day; I just look at it like I just want to make him [my brother] proud."

Odd Future Linking With Soulja Boy

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is looking to collaborate with pop rapper Soulja Boy. The offbeat West Coast hip hop collective has reportedly reached out to the multiplatinum rapper. He says they want him on a song.

"Shouts out to Tyler, the Creator, he's chill," Soulja Boy said in an interview. "Shouts out to Taco. I chill with Taco in L.A. Shouts out to the whole Odd Future. The Super 3 from Odd Future, they produced a couple tracks from my last mixtape [1UP]. They doin' they thang and they doin' it originally from the ground up without the label, so salute...They already reached out for me to do a verse on a song. I just gotta do it -- They mess with [West Coast rapper] Lil B. I mess with Lil B. I'd do a song with them."

Soulja Boy In $1 Million Lawsuit

Soulja Boy is at the center of a million-dollar lawsuit, along with his record label Interscope Records and MySpace Music. The parties are being sued over a canceled concert in Harrisburg, PA. Joseph Brewster of TrinCity Entertainment filed the suit.

The lawsuit alleges that TrinCity booked Soulja Boy for a concert on December 10th, 2010 and paid an advance fee of $16,250. They also reportedly paid another $3,500 for bus transportation to the event and another $8,000 for television and radio commercials to promote the event. According to the lawsuit, reps for Interscope contacted TrinCity and asked the show be canceled, so that Soulja Boy could perform a show in Hawaii the following weekend.

TrinCity says that reps for Interscope and MySpace agreed to pay $10,000 to offset the advertising costs. The money was also supposed to help TrinCity promote Soulja Boy's rescheduled date. But according to the suit, MySpace never reimbursed TrinCity and Interscope paid $5,000, but it was too late to promote the rescheduled show.

The suit also claims Soulja Boy unjustly kept the $16,250 deposit. Brewster and TrinCity want $1,000,000 in damages for breach of contract.

Diamond On Soulja Boy

Diamond (formerly of Crime Mob) sat down with Dr. Jay and shared her feelings for her new boyfriend, fellow rapper Soulja Boy. She also admitted that they predicted that there would be a backlash against them being together.

"We've been friends for awhile. He's always been real sweet, real manner-able guy, he's very, very smart, intelligent," Diamond said. "I learn from him and that's what I look for when I date a guy. I like to learn, teach me. Sometimes guys want to compete. And that was one of the key things that captured my attention about him."

Since their relationship became public, fans, Diamond's ex-fiance Lil Scrappy and even Scrappy's Mom have offered their opinions on the couple.

"We talked about [the backlash], but we didn't know it was going to be that big," Diamond admitted.

Birdman Calls Out Soulja Boy

Despite claims from Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy that he has been courted by Birdman and Slim of Cash Money Records, Birdman has said that he has never tried to sign Soulja Boy to his label. In a very strangely-worded tweet, Birdman shot down rumors that Soulja Boy was headed to the label.

"YMCMB busine$$ real talk," Birdman tweeted. "I neva tried 2 sign n0b0dy thats already sign 2 s0meb0dy. We d0nt r0ck like [that.] I neva tried 2 sign s0ulja. But I respect tha lil h0mey wrk keep getn it$$$$"

Apparently, Birdman is way too rich to waste time spell-checking his tweets. Or even trying to make them read-able.

Dude....come on...

Yes, Diamond & Soulja Boy Are Dating

After a few days of controversy surrounding a photo of them together, Atlanta rappers Soulja Boy and Diamond are confirming that they are, indeed, an item. The duo went on Dirty Boyz radio to address all of the speculation following the photo, which led to Lil Scrappy's mother, launching into a hateful rant against Diamond. Scrappy is Diamond's ex-fiancee.

from "Eh man, you already know how that go," Soulja Boy said. "What's another man's trash is another man's treasure. Me and shorty rocking, straight like that. [Are me and Diamond a couple now?] Yup, straight up...I ain't got no reason to lie to y'all. Y'all been knowing me ever since I first came out, you know what I mean?" "What's happening," Diamond chimed in. "Yeah, it's official. Y'all know what's up. [laughs] The long way."

Soulja Boy On Cash Money?

Soulja Boy's last album, DeAndre Way, may have gone glass, but the Atlanta pop-rapper claims that Cash Money CEO Brian "Birdman" Williams wants him on his label. He also revealed that if he could have any guest star on his mixtape, it would be a certain dreadlocked superstar from New Orleans.

"If I could get anybody, I would have probably put Lil Wayne on my mixtape," Soulja said. "Me and Wayne, man. I talk to him, but I'm cool with Birdman. When I'm in Miami, I be with Birdman. He's trying to get me to come over to Cash Money. I'm cool with Birdman. I feel like if I drop my mixtape and get Wayne on it, I'd really have the juice then [Laughs]. It is a possibility. When I was down in Miami for a couple of weeks recording with Sean Kingston, Birdman reached out to me. He said 'come and have a meeting with me' and he told me 'yo man you'd go perfect with everything we got going on. Whatever you want. I want to bring you over to this family, bring you to Cash Money.'"

Why would Birdman want to sign Soulja Boy in 2011? 2006, maybe. 2011? Nah.

Soulja Boy Was Sad Over Poor Sales

Nothing makes rappers sadder than when nobody buys their album. Soulja Boy revealed in a recent interview with Complex Magazine that the dismal sales of 2010's DeAndre Waymade him contemplated hanging up his microphone.

Then 50 Cent had to go and open his big mouth.

"[I stopped Twittering when my sales came back because] I just needed to take a break," Soulja Boy said. "I needed to think about things. I needed to evaluate my camp and what was going on in my circle. I had to talk to my family, the label, and my management. I had a big talk with the big bruh 50 Cent. I'm going to forever thank 50 because he guided me. When I was at my lowest point in my career and I just felt like I ain't really want to do this music no more. I was like, 'Man, I'm still young. I made enough money.' My head was on a whole different radar, but he was like, 'Man, you tripping little bro. You've got to keep it going.'"
