Soulja Boy's Broke A$$ Selling Tweets?

I guess when he told Pearlswindow's Carrington J. Lei that he promised not to end up buying stupid $hit and tricking off all of his money - he was lying.

Especially, since right after that, he bought his father - a man with no known assets - a $250,000 car. Like really... how do you keep insurance, and GAS in that when you're a regular brother?

Oh well.

Life is getting hard for Soulja Boyso much so that he's now selling off his tweets just to make ends meet. The struggle has hit a new low.

Word has it that the Atlanta rapper who boasts over 5 million Twitter followers will give shout outs, retweets, and verses so long as the price is right. For $1.99 he'll follow you, but for the big spenders looking to buy a beat that'll cost a cool $10,000.

Less than six years ago, “Crank That was the talk of the ‘Net, and his debut album sold nearly a million copies. By 2007, he made it to No. 18, on Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, bringing in $7 million.

In the years since, musically he's faltered. His last album, The Deandre Way sold an embarrassing 13,360 copies in its first week, which he blamed on his label. “Honestly, I shut down for a week [after my album dropped], he told Complex magazine after the album's release. “I wasn't talking to nobody, I wasn't talking to management, and I wasn't talking to the label. I wasn't picking up nobody's calls. I went like that for a week. I was in a state of confusion. I needed answers…the label only shipped like 18,000 copies [of the album]. So I wasn't able to do gold first week or even 100k, none of that. They only put like 8,000 units in Best Buy. It was crazy.

  1. Why do people brag on how many followers they have? Are u in kindergarten? Do u get paid once u reach a certain amount? I'm confused & also new to Twitter. I guess it's like when people brag about how many FB friends they have. *shrugs*

      Ha!!!

      You know, Idon't even feel sorry for him. I mean, yes, he was young and I expected him to do some crazy things with his money, but to take for granted that he would always be on the charts with the type of music he made and for him not to invest some of his money was just plain stupid. I bet he's kicking himself in the balls, hollering, "Woulda, coulda, shoulda!" Boy, bye! You and your many Tweety Birds have several seats!
