*Hip hop fans and media outlets alike are skeptical about reports of Soulja Boy being ambushed by masked gunmen, who later released an Internet video claiming responsibility. But a rep for the artist says it's true. The unconfirmed reports hit the Web on New Year’s Eve. Supposedly, the rapper and several of his friends were attacked in his Georgia home by six gunmen who stormed the house on Dec. 30. The following day, a video surfaced of two masked men claiming responsibility for the crime. In the clip, the men are dressed in all black, with black cloth covering their entire faces. The speaker, whose voice is disguised electronically (chopped & screwed style), boasts of following the rapper home from his album release party to carry out the robbery. In the n-word-drenched clip, the men also appeared offended by initial reports of six assailants armed with pistols and Ak-47s committing the crime. Instead, the alleged robbers claimed it was just the two of them, with one weapon. Soulja Boy's camp has confirmed with AllHipHop.com that an incident did take place, but the rep refused to provide any concrete details, stating only that the crime is “a serious situation.” The rapper's sophomore album, "iSouljaBoyTellem," was released on Dec. 16.
