And just when I was finally starting to give Soulja Boy Tell Em his props for calming down and getting the memo that he needs to take his brand and his music more seriously.
The King of kiddie hip-hop joined his faux nemesis, Bow Wow, for some live streaming late last night when he decided to take a departure from newly branded “role model” ways by sparking a dubbie live for all his young fans. Did I mention that its illegal to smoke weed?
Look, I think many of us know the chief at this point, especially with all thats going on with the economy. But this is UNACCEPTABLE! Deandre needs to really just STOP! Either your gonna be a star or your going to be a n*cca. Dudes getting national attention despite his intial flop with his sophomore CD iSouljaBoyTellEm. He’s been on countless “middle America” programing being hailed as a role model to today’s youth. And now he wants to fudge it all up just to show people how gangsta he is. That’s not a good look! Nor is it wise young buck.
I get so sick of today’s entertainers public disappointments. This move could cost him an endorsement deal[s]. Prospective companies and sponsors could see S.B.’d defiant ways as too risky to invest in. Just today a VERY popular teen site reached out to me to get S.B.’s mgmt contact because their was some projects they wanted to incorporate S.B. on regarding their young fans. But I can almost guarantee that recent developments will crush any chances of that happening. And why? Over some bullshit.
Soulja Boy just appeared on popular daytime talk show “The View” where he climbed on his soapbox about being a role model to today’s kids. Check the video out below.
For those of who are on the mobile phones allow me to transcribe:
Ladies of “The View”: The second album doesn’t have profanity in it.
Souljah Boy: It’s clean.
Ladies of “The View”: Were you delbrately trying to be a role model?
Souljah Boy: Being my age, I dropped my first album when I was 16 years old, I wanted my fans to be able to relate to me. You know? So I didn’t want 16, 15, 14, years old listening to me using profanity at my age of being 16 so thats why I release all of my music clean. [the last part was a little inaudible]
He went on a bit more about being a role model to his three younger siblings. So I’m sure you can understand my preplexity of the above pictures of S.B. holding a blunt.
Look, do things happen when you’re young – absolutely. But, there’s certain situations that can be avoided if people just think. Because no matter where you stand on the issue of marijuana, it is still an illegal act. So if you’re a role model why would you broadcast your illegal activities to the masses?
I don’t see Miley Cyrus sparking it up. I don’t see the Jonas Bros trying to “match one”. You see what drugs, or even the perception of it, did to Lindsay Lohan’s career. I simply don’t understand. It’s like this dude is one step forward two steps back [at least in my head].
There’s an old Latin proverb that I chant almost everyday:
“A Wise Man Learns By The Mistakes of Others, a Fool By His Own.”
Must you be thrown in the back of cop car before you realize that you need to be smarter then the dumb fucks before you?
Putting it plainly, you can’t be a role model to kids when you are engaging in illegal activities.
I’m just sayin’.

Oh My god gyant I was just about to write some shit on my blogspot about this all because I have been writing random tweets about souljaboy for about 2 weeks. And when I seen his video I GOT THA MUNCHIESS im not sure if you seen it here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hVh05mbouY
i was shocked he is visibly high and their is nothing wrong with it but his fans are children and because of that he will create more weed smokers and as a person who has been smoking for almost 10 years its old and im trying to quit and nobody needs to start and im just mad hes doing that shit this is something you and I agree on
only an irresponsible parent would let their child look up to a celeb/entertainer as a role model.
@ gyant you seem disappointed like he threw you for the loop.
most people could’ve seen through his lies.
