Whats funny is hes just selling a console that already exists. There's literally the same exact product on Amazon thats cheaper and hes taking it and re-selling it a higher price xD

Here's my though, is Souljaboy in anyway actually involved with this other then lending his "brand."

Maybe people or a company, probably from China given all the typos and what not, came to him and made a multi million dollar deal to use his name to sell these junk devices.

I mean does anybody think Souljaboy is ordering these devices, has a warehouse, and has staff sending these out? I highly doubt it. I don't know if he's actually a gamer because he seems completely oblivious to what's happening here. If that's the case, I'm not sure what the crime is other than helping sell this junk with his name and tweets. I'm curious to see how this ends and what the actual crime is.

It shows how dumb he is really lending out his brand to something like this. Extremely poor judgment. Hopefully legal fallout is pretty good

Why isn't anyone suing this idiot? Nintendo should've sued him before it even started with how they handle these things but everyone is silent. He should be sued by multiple companies and fight multiple cases

Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I remember hearing years ago that Soulja Boy was begging his Twitter fans to donate to him because he was broke.

If that was true, then all of this just looks desperate.

I never understood why he stopped at the few singles he had. He was ludicrously popular way back when, and then he just dropped off the face of the earth. Not sure why he didn't just decide to, you know, MAKE MORE MUSIC, THE THING HE'S KNOWN FOR after he pissed his fortune away, but then again, nothing about this indicates an above average IQ.

Dumb-dumb is planting his flag on the hill he's going to die on. Fascinating really.

Of course it sold well, every youtuber wanted to make fun of the console so they bought it

The consoles launched on the 6th iirc so this is pretty good for him. We might have another competitor join the console race.

No chance that's what you got.

That's the music industry. One day you're hot, the next you're not. That's why we have a thing called one hit wonders. Artists either fall on two side of that term. Either they were actually talented, but for some reason or another people only listened to them for that single hit. Or they are untalented and just got lucky with a single hook and most of their other work sucks.
