During a recent interview with HipHopDX, Soulja Boy touched on the status of his relationship with Kanye West and applauded him for reaching out in the first place.

January 13, 2022 Soulja Boy has come a long way, too. After blowing up in 2007 with the No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single Crank That (Soulja Boy) at just 19 years old, he had to adjust to the fame that typically comes along with having such a massive hit (the song remained at the top of the chart for seven consecutive weeks). There was a period in his life when it was tough to juggle, but now he embraces it. I love it, he says excitedly. I love it!I had to learn it. You go through your motions, you know what Im saying? I went through the point of, I cant go outside. If I go through the grocery store, they going to be asking for my autograph. If I go shopping, I got to wear ahh But I grew out of that. It was a quick little phase. Its way better than staying in the hood, trying to figure it out. Its a blessing to be fame is a blessing. Soulja Boy will kick it up a notch when the forthcoming REVOLT series The Life of Draco premieres on January 21. The six-episode docu-series follows Soulja Boy along as he navigates life, music and entrepreneurship while chasing the next milestone in his career.
