Soulja Boy to Metro Boomin: “All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mama back.”
In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop drama, it seems like no tweet is ever truly buried. Case in point: the recent clash between Soulja Boy and Metro Boomin over a tweet that resurfaced from 12 years ago. While some might argue that it’s ancient history, Soulja Boy is refusing to let bygones be bygones, and his target? None other than Metro Boomin’s deceased mother.
The tweet in question dates back to 2012, where Metro Boomin took a jab at Soulja Boy’s work, contrasting it with his own opportunity to work with more prominent rappers. The tweet reads:
“My phone rings to come to the studio with Jeezy. Yours ring to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.”
Clearly, it was a bragging moment of Metro Boomin’s rising career, but one that had seemingly faded into the archives of Twitter history.
However, Soulja Boy decided to resurrect this old feud in a particularly vicious manner. In response to the criticism, he not only fired back but crossed a line by insinuating that Metro Boomin had sacrificed his own mother for fame and fortune.
Soulja Boy’s response was blunt and unapologetic:
“I don’t give a – if it was 20 years ago. Don’t speak on me period.”
But the plot thickens when we delve into the tragic backstory behind Metro Boomin’s mother, Leslie Joanne Wayne. She wasn’t simply a victim of natural causes or an accident; she was murdered by her spouse, who then took his own life back in 2022. It’s a fairly recent episode of loss and trauma for Metro Boomin that adds another layer of complexity to this already heated exchange.
Is Soulja Boy justified in his retaliation, or has he crossed a line by targeting such a sensitive subject? Moreover, are we, the new generation of hip-hop fans, too quick to dismiss the gravity of past actions and statements?
