After a few days to think and cool off, along with a long conversation from singer Tyrese, Soulja Boy is now speaking out about his recent verbal explosion on Twitter. In his blog entry titled "Money Fucks You Up.." posted to Global Grind over the weekend, the teen rapper apologized for his comments that some thought was racist and explained how Notorius B.I.G. adage "more money, more problems" applies to his life more now than ever before.
"A lot of people talking about what I twittered the other night so I want to address it, now that I have had some time to do some thinking," he wrote. "At 18 years, having grown up in the Mississippi Delta, I never thought my life would take me to where I am now..All I thought I loved was music. I would die for that motherfuckin music. But, once I got a record deal and all these people around me trying to tell me who to be, what to do and how to do it, I realized that I wasn't making music anymore for the love. I got into this weird place where I began making music for the money...I thought money was gonna bring me happiness. And that is the farthest thing from the truth. Money fucks you up... I know I might sound crazy, because a lot of you who are reading are probably like, I wish I had this nigga's money. But, the truth is that money got me twisted. All I want to do is go back to making music for the love of it... I know my fans. And I know they will understand this. This ain't got nothing to do with ya'll. Oh yeah.. sorry to all my white peeps out there. I'm not racist. But I guess time will heal all wounds?"
