So I see you’ve been linked to a few video models too. (laughs) Oh, you just read your lil Twitter and got up to speed? Nah, I pay attention. So do you prefer regular women, industry women, video hoes, or what? What’s Soulja Boy’s type? (laughs) Man, I prefer… Gucci Wings. I’m so fly. I’m like flyest nigga out now. Gucci Wings, 2010, like stepping out of a magazine. Of course Soulja Boy has a large fanbase. Do you indulge in the groupies or pass them along to the crew? It varies. I’m the type of dude who, I think I’m friendly, you know? I take pictures with all the girls and listen to what they’ve gotta say and all that. What do they say? They say I’m the sexiest rapper alive, shit like that. They say they masturbate to my pictures on the internet. They say I’m a pretty nigga, like one of the prettiest niggas they’ve ever seen. They say they wish they could have a nigga that looks just like me in their life. Like, it ain’t even gotta be me, just a nigga that’s like me. But there’s only one me though. Well, you’re a little more thugged out now with all the tattoos. Are you trying to not be pretty anymore? I think this adds onto my prettiness on a certain level. A lot of girls like thugs. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a thug. I’m just a pretty nigga, feel me? Have you had girls waiting in your hotel room when you got there? That’s like a generic rapper story. “Aw, man, I got to the hotel and there were girls everywhere.” What rapper hasn’t had that happen? It depends on what they’re there for. Sometimes you’ve got super fans that really go hard for you, and I respect that. I don’t know if you can just put girls in categories or label them as “groupies” or “fans.” I just think of all of them as fans. Are you looking for a lady to spend time with or out on the road having fun? What’s your mindset at this point? It’s kinda scary at this age to see the different types of women that are choosin’. It’s like, amazing, but scary at the same time. Just the type of women – like, their status – you know. It’s crazy coming from where I come from. But ya boy loves women. I love girls. I’m pulling the baddest of the baddest, girls I never thought I would ever pull. Well, I take that back. I did think I would. I’ll claim that. I’ll call that. Scary in terms of their celebrity status? Yeah! All types of women. You might see a girl choose on you that you never thought would choose on you. It’s shocking. But, I think I should be able to meet any lady and have a conversation with any female.
the time. Do you think that’s accurate or would you say you deal with females on a more respectful level? I’m a pretty boy, a rich boy, 100 million in the game, so I think that describes itself. Meaning what? You’re arrogant with your women? I just think I’m a beast, man. You’ve gotta watch your boy in action. You know how you turn on the Discovery Channel? It’s like that. You’ve gotta catch your boy in action. If you catch me in my creative process in the studio or catch me with a girl, you know, but there wouldn’t be no cameras on. Do you spend time pursuing women or try to stay focused on work and it comes to you? I think women and all of that is just the perks of what I chose to do for a living. All this is just the perks. You get the Lambo, the big house, the haters… (laughs) It’s all just perks. This is what comes with the job. Now that you’re “100 million in the game,” do you spend money on your females? Do you fly them places and buy them stuff or are you not a tricking type of dude? Honestly, if you’re gonna be with your boy, you’ll have to be on point. If I’m gonna be flying you out and all that, you’ve gotta be on point. People handle different situations differently. You might fly somebody out, or you might not. Somebody might fly themselves out, or they might not. So you don’t have a standard hoe policy? (laughs) She said “standard hoe policy.” I just made that up right now. Well, everybody has their vice or weakness, like porn, groupies, strippers, or a particular type of fetish – I don’t put myself in a box like that. I’m open-minded. I don’t close off relationships cause I just like women. Your boy couldn’t be like, “I like this type of chick” cause that closes off so many other doors. I’m so open-minded. What attracts you to a female physically? Truthfully, I think it’s deeper than all that. I think everything happens for a reason. All the girls that are in my life are there for a reason. I ain’t got girls that ain’t got no purpose at all. I think every person I deal with plays a position and role in my life and I play a role in their life as well. You might meet a girl at a show or a girl on the internet or see a girl at the mall who doesn’t even know who you are. (laughs) But who doesn’t know who Soulja Boy is? Being so young, do you have a lot of older women come at you? Yeah, I got a million cougars that’s on your boy and a million younger girls that’s on your boy as well. So it’s like the best of both worlds.
Out of all the internet rumors about you dating this girl or sleeping with that video model, what percentage of the stories are true? I mean, I ain’t here to verify nothing or clear up nothing cause I don’t mind my name being thrown around. It’s all free promotion. I’m just living life and having a career as a rapper is amazing, so it’s not like I do things on purpose to generate publicity but at the same time, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes bloggers hear a story and are dead on but sometimes they don’t know what they’re talking about at all. Sometimes they make stuff up out of the clear blue sky, or they might hear a story and flip it a million different ways. I don’t think no blogger has ever gotten a story 100% correct. But, I’m entertained by all of that. The facts are: I’m a pretty boy, a rich boy, a young boy, and I’m 100 million in the game. SOD is the label. Those are the facts and the rest of the rumors, I don’t know.
How does the sexual experience compare between older women and younger women? (makes fake orgasm noises) Real talk, not much, because these girls are starting so early.
But you do play into the publicity a bit, don’t you? Like the bathroom pictures you leaked out on Twitter? (right) I didn’t put that picture out. Somebody else put it out and I just cosigned it.
Your artist Lil B admitted he got burned at one point. Do you want to share any safe sex thoughts with your younger fans? The commercial I just did for TV, GYT, means Get Yourself Tested. It’s real out there, you know? There’s so many girls choosing but sometimes it’ll scare you to the point where you don’t even care. There’s girls on my dick everywhere I go but sometimes I don’t even care. Sometimes you might see the baddest girl all on your dick, but it turns you One of Soulja off. Everybody should use Boy’s infamous bathroom pics condoms cause that shit
You sent the picture to a girl and she posted it? That’s another generic rapper story right there. “I sent it to a girl and I told her not to post it, but she put it on Twitter.” (laughs) I don’t know, man. I got a lot of love from it and gained a lot of fans behind it, so, whatever. [The picture] was 100% real though. Wasn’t no Photoshop or none of that. It was a straight cell phone picture. If we had a groupie confession on you, what would they say? I’m the best nigga in the world to be with. You can ask any girl that’s ever been linked to me and you’ll hear goodness behind my name. What’s the secret? What are you so good at? I’m just me. There ain’t no secret. I don’t mean just sexually, but all around. People kinda have the stereotype that rappers just dog women out all
Did you start early? It depends on what “early” is. In 2010, what is “early”? You’ve got girls having babies at 12, so it’s like, wow. Like I say in some of my songs, “I’ve been having hoes since elementary.” I been having teachers choose on me. I was choosing teachers when I was like six years old. Real talk, I was in the second grade and the teacher’s name was Ms. Bailey and I had a crush on her. I remember it like it was yesterday; she was fine. I’ve been wondering if she ever sees me on TV.
