At age 14, Soulja moved to Batesville, Mississippi, with his father who provided a recording studio for Way to explore his musical ambitions. In November 2005, he posted his songs on the website SoundClick. Following positive reviews on the site, Soulja established accounts on YouTube and Myspace.

In March 2007, Soulja recorded “Crank That” and released his first independent album Unsigned & Still Major: Da Album Before da Album, followed by a low-budget video demonstrating the “Crank That” dance.

By the end of May 2007, “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” had received its first airplay and Soulja met with Mr. Collipark to sign a deal with Interscope Records. On August 12, 2007, the song was used on the television series Entourage, and on September 1 it topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot RingMasters charts.

His major label debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, was released in the United States on October 2, 2007, peaking at number four on both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. The album was reportedly recorded using just the demo version of FL Studio.

Directed by Spirer, Soulja Boy: The Movie was released direct-to-video on October 18, 2011, a date which coincided with Soulja Boy’s arrest on a drug charge.

Soulja and Chris Brown began to exchange Instagram videos towards each other in a matter of minutes, for example: Chris Brown accusing Way of “snitching” or Way poking fun of Brown’s daughter and his infamous incident with singer Rihanna in 2009.

The next day, Way apologized to Brown and fans about the event and wished to collaborate with Brown.

Soulja Boy Robbed

On December 30, 2008, Soulja Boy was robbed and battered in his home. Initial reports on the robbery indicated that the robbers were six masked men with AK-47s and pistols but on December 31, 2008, videos surfaced on the Internet of two masked men claiming sole credit for the crime.

Soulja described the incident to MTV News a month later: He had come home very late at night after attending an album release party and was recording songs with friends when the robbers came in pointing their guns.

On January 26, 2009, during another interview, he clarified that it was three robbers and not six, stating: “I got back to my house at around 3 in the morning and I was in the studio recording. So two of my homeboys was in the living room and me and Arab we was in the studio recording. And somebody kicked in the door. One dude ran in put the AK 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.”

The police report made no mention of any gunfire having taken place.
