Soulja Boy’s net worth came from figuring it out
Soulja Boy’s net worth apparently did not come easily. According to the artist and entrepreneur he desired more help from the legends before him. The soon to be father allegedly feuds with legendary artists such as Ice-T and Kanye West in the past, took to his Instagram Live and delivered a message to those veteran emcees who’ve paved the way for artists like him, accusing them of seemingly not reaching out to the younger class.
“Don’t get it f-cked up; you gotta work hard, you know what I’m saying? I feel like, in a way, the motherf-cking game failed us because they’re not kicking back enough knowledge to the young n-ggas,” the 31-year-old said during his stream on Monday, May 30.
Soulja Boy is one of the most well-known rappers in the world. But how much money does he actually have? Soulja Boy’s net worth is estimated to be around $30 million. While that may seem like a lot, it’s nowhere near the net worths of some of the richest rappers alive. For example, Jay Z’s net worth is estimated to be around $550 million. So why is Soulja Boy only worth a fraction of some of his peers?
According to Deandre Cortez, referring to the OG’s he says, “They not telling the youngins how to get no money, they not tellin n-ggas how to go out and run up some bands. That’s why my youngins out here going crazy. Airing sh-t out, spinning sh-t. ’Cause I feel like they failed us in a way.”
“All the OGs, you supposed to be kicking knowledge, y’all supposed to be kicking game to the young n-ggas so they really running up a bankroll,” The Soap Shop CEO stated.
“And that’s the problem. I’m trying to tell you, bro. Like, n-ggas look back and be like where did this n-gga go wrong or what happened? I’m like y’all not kicking back no knowledge to the young n-ggas.”
But some may argue that the “Sneaky Link 2.0” artist, managed to make a pretty successful career and multiple businesses for himself. Currently, the entrepreneur dropped a new cologne called Sboy by Draco.
In fact, according to others his mentioned colleagues made some bad business deals as well.
Additionally, some say, Draco is one of the OG’s that should be lending advice. “N-gga you the old head in the game,” wrote one critic. “But u a og u can do it too this kinda the 1st time seeing him talk calm with sense,” commented another person.
At the start of the new year, Soulja Boy recently announced that he was making a career shift from his raps and quibbles with his peers to acting. “2022, my new TV show coming out January 21st [with] Revolt TV, shout-out to P. Diddy,” he said in a video. “‘Being Draco,’ new TV show January 21st!”
