Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Soulja Boy went live and addressed a man, DeontaeBiggs, calling him a scammer for not sending out his consoles he promised to his fans on time.
Soulja Boy isn’t the first rapper to upset his fans over a delay, but definitely the first to piss them off over a delayed gaming console.
On Monday (Feb. 6), fans were angry with the “Crank That” sensation because they hadn’t received their $400 Soulja Boy TRDR Pocket gaming consoles that were ordered last year. Since then, a few fans have been criticizing Soulja as a scammer. However, he wants to clear his and his brand’s name.
The father-of-one then followed up with the tweet: “Soulja Boy Game 2.0 ships Friday! with A.I.!! @TRDRpocket @souljaboygame everyone gets a free one if you ordered 1.0 thanks for your patience!”
To further assure his fan that he was serious about making his order right, he wrote to him again with: “Just so you know I’m serious. You’re in Fort Wayne Indiana. I appreciate your support man let me know when they arrive after Fridays shipment,” to which the fan thanked him for his feedback.
Soulja Boy got wind of the post and explained the long delay, also revealing those who initially purchased will get an upgraded console that they will be receiving shortly.
“The microchip shortage in China restricted it,” Soulja Boy revealed. “But we will ship them all new ones that are upgraded and double the price they paid for free. New ones are 400$ with A.I. old ones were 200$ they ship this Friday. Sorry for the delay my brother.”
In a follow-up post, Soulja added, “Just so you know I’m serious. You’re in Fort Wayne Indiana. I appreciate your support man let me know when they arrive after Fridays shipment.”
