Rumors have been flying around social media as of late in relation to Soulja Boy’s relationship with Los Angeles rapper NBA YoungBoy. The Atlanta artist previously took to his Twitter account to upload a calm statement that wrote, “YoungBoy fans gay af,” which unsurprisingly sent fans into a rage of emotions.
