US rapper Soulja Boy has apologized to producer Metro Boomin following an online altercation in which he disrespected the latter’s late mother. Soulja Boy attacked Metro Boomin on social media after a tweet from 2012 resurfaced where the producer made a joke at the former’s expense. In his tweet, Metro Boomin had written, “Yours rings to send Soulja Boy a pack of beats. Sit down.” This prompted the “Crank That” star to respond with tweets attacking the said producer as well as his late mother.
As the altercation continued, fellow rapper 21 Savage waded into the conversation, aiming a series of tweets at Soulja Boy. However, the former has now issued an apology to Metro Boomin after several days since the internet fight and has said he will seek therapy and anger management. Soulja Boy tweeted, “I apologize to @MetroBoomin for overreacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old.”
This latest episode comes months after Soulja Boy made news for his interest in purchasing TikTok after the US government threatened to ban the social media app. Despite the controversy, Metro Boomin recently collaborated with rapper Future for their joint tour, called the “We Trust You Tour.” Remaining tickets for this event are still available
