Soulja Boy tweeted: “The microchip shortage in China restricted it. But we will ship them all new ones that are upgraded and double the price they paid for free. New ones are $400 with A.I. old ones were $200 they ship this Friday. Sorry for the delay my brother.” Considering the “scammer” label, the Chicago native exhibited immense poise and empathy for the video game console purchaser.

In 2018, “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” hit maker unveiled a video game console line, SouljaGame Handheld and SouljaGame Console. At the end of they year, Soulja addressed hearsay Nintendo scheduled to file a lawsuit against him over the consoles and contended his line was bonafide. Citing threats from the video game titan, the rapper pulled the line a few days later. The “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” cast member took another shot at the video game business and partnered with TRDR Pocket in May of 2021. Several months later, he claimed he was selling his video game brand for $140M to Atari and later said he had ownership stake in Atari, which the gaming pioneer refuted.
