AceShowbiz - Soulja Boy has announced the launch of Rapper University following his exclusion from Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, sparking responses from fellow rapper and streamer DDG.

After expressing frustration over not being invited to [strong]Kai Cenat[/strong]’s streamer-focused event, Soulja Boy took to social media on June 9 to reveal plans for his own Twitch event called Rapper University. He shared a promotional flyer but has yet to announce the official date for the stream.

The rapper described the upcoming event as something historic, encouraging fans to comment if they want to participate. His social media post suggested that Rapper University would offer a unique experience, positioning it as an alternative to the streamer-centric gathering he was left out of.

Following the announcement, [strong]DDG[/strong], who is both a rapper and streamer, took to Twitch to mock Soulja Boy’s new initiative. He doubted the event’s success and criticized Soulja Boy’s recent music relevance, implying that audiences would not be interested in learning from him given his lack of hits in recent years.

On June 10, Soulja Boy responded to the online exchanges by posting on Instagram that since he wasn’t welcomed at Streamer University, he decided to create his own platform. This public back-and-forth highlights ongoing tensions between the artists around influence in both the rap and streaming communities.

The situation began after Soulja Boy publicly called out Kai Cenat for the invitation snub and took shots at DDG during a TikTok Live session. The announcement of Rapper University marks an effort by Soulja Boy to establish a new space that blends music and streaming culture on his own terms.

Fans and followers of the involved artists are watching closely as the story develops, with anticipation building around the launch of Rapper University and how it will compare to the established Streamer University hosted by Kai Cenat.
