SOULJA BOY TALKS ABOUT ROBBERY ORDEAL: Rapper claims to have been held at gunpoint during home invasion.(January 29, 2009)
*Rap star Soulja Boy has spoken publicly for the first time about reports that he was held at gunpoint during a robbery at his Georgia home last month. The artist, whose real name is DeAndre Ramone Way, was said to be hanging at home with friends over New Year's weekend when six men broke in carrying guns and took off with stolen items. Two men posted a short video online, taking responsibility for the crime and boasting of stalking the star at a release party for his new album "iSouljaBoyTellem" before following him to his residence. Soulja Boy recently told his version of the story to WENN in an interview. “Basically I was at my crib and I had my album release party at my club that night," he said. "I got back to my house at around three in the morning and I was in the studio recording. So two of my homeboys was in the living room and me and Arab (a friend) we was in the studio recording. And somebody kicked in the door. “One dude ran in put the AK (gun) to my homeboy head, put him on the floor. The other two ran in - my homeboy jumped in the other room - so the other two dudes ran back so I peeped in the door and they running through my house with Ks and pistols - so I ducked back. "I really can’t dwell on what happened after that, but it was a messed up situation (and) I’m glad everyone made it out alive.” He adds, “I really don’t want to dwell on the entire situation because of my career. My music is pointed towards the kids and I don’t wanna give them that bad image on what actually went down.” Speak Out
