AceShowbiz - Soulja Boy has weighed in on Young Dolph's tragic death. When reacting to the "100 Shots" rapper's fatal shooting, the "Turn My Swag On" spitter claimed that his haters would be "laughing" if it was him.
On Friday, November 18, the 31-year-old musician went on Instagram Live to share some words about the Memphis rapper's tragic death. "What the f**k Young Dolph dying got to do with me," he said. "I'm still getting paid for the Memphis show."
"If that would've been me, y'all would've been laughing and cracking jokes," Soulja Boy said. He added, "It wouldn't have been no 'Rest In Peace Soulja Boy.' Don't jump in my DMs like you gangster, then when your big homie die [sic] expect me to be sad."
Around a week before Young Dolph's murder, the two got into a heated social media exchange over money claims. At that time Young Dolph said he was bringing in $100,000 for each live performance, but Soulja Boy apparently wasn't convinced that Young Dolph was telling the truth.
"How da f**k I'm an independent artist and gettin 100rax plus for a show?" Young Dolph wrote. The "Water on Water on Water" rapper added, "How da f**k @keyglock got more cars & ice than you & your CEO?"
Soulja Boy then issued an expletive-filled warning to Young Dolph, Key Glock and the rest of the Paper Route Empire team. "Young Dolph if you don't get your b***h-a** artists out my motherf**kin' DMs, n***a," he said in a video. "F**k Paper Route, f**k Key Glock, f**k Young Dolph, f**k all y'all n***as."
In the wake of Young Dolph's shooting, Soulja Boy was removed from the "Millennium Tour", with G-Squared Events citing its team made the decision out of safety concerns for the artists, patrons and touring representatives. As of now, Soulja Boy will not perform during this weekend's stops in St. Louis and Memphis, where Young Dolph was gunned down while purchasing cookies from a bakery.
"The safety and welfare of our patrons are the first and foremost priority." G-Squared Events said in a statement. "We pride ourselves on bringing high-quality concert experiences to our patrons. In times like this, we will stop at nothing to ensure that everyone that participates in these experiences is healthy, safe, and quite frankly having a good time."
