Soulja Boy and Tyga Trade Virtual Blows Over Blac Chyna: ‘I Played Fortnite With Your Son’

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tyga and Soulja Boy are the latest rappers to have beef with each other, and it all has to do with career comebacks and Blac Chyna. Tyga has a 6-year-old son with Chyna, King Cairo Stevenson, and Soulja dated Chyna for about two weeks earlier this month.

The back-and-forth between the rapper’s began in early January when Soulja claimed to have had the biggest comeback since he recently dropped his own game console and signed a deal with Warner/Chappell Music.

Soulja Boy dissed Tyga by saying he slept with his ex Blac Chyna.

But some on social media said Tyga actually had the biggest comeback because after being in record label limbo with YMCMB and known mostly for dating Kylie Jenner, he landed a smash with the single “Taste,” which is his biggest hit since 2011’s “Rack City.”

In fact, in a Jan. 16 Instagram post, Tyga responded to Soulja’s claims of having the biggest comeback by posting “Taste’s” streaming numbers.

“Who had the biggest comeback?” wrote the Cali rapper back then.

Now fast-forward to Sunday, Feb. 24 and Soulja continued the beef after news surfaced that Tyga got dragged out of Floyd Mayweather’s birthday party by a bouncer. The “Crank That” rapper posted a still of the incident and included laughing emojis.

On the same day, Soulja taunted Tyga for being with Chyna for a short period.

“I f–ked yo baby mama and played Fortnite with yo son,” wrote Soulja in a now deleted tweet. He also wrote: “Me and Blac Chyna could neva work she like n—az like Tyga. Lol.”

Then on Monday (Feb. 25) Tyga stopped by Los Angeles’ Power 106 radio station, and mentioned Soulja during a freestyle.

“7 million records, 9 months, where’s Soulja at?” Tyga rapped. “Running ’round saying that you made me, why you say that?”

Folks online then discussed the beef and said Tyga is the victor so far because of the freestyle.

“Tyga got bars where’s big Draco bars at?” someone wrote, using one of Soulja’s monikers.

“First time I heard tyga actually have real bars. Rappers mostly dont rap until beef occurs,” a second person commented.

At this time, Soulja hasn’t responded to the “Taste” rapper.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
