Soulja Boy announced that he's dropping his latest album, Soulja Season, on Friday (May 12), which is the same day Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy are dropping their respective albums. 

During a recent Instagram Live, Soulja Boy sounded off on the situation, stating that Durk and YoungBoy are only dropping their albums because he announced that he was dropping his album first. Soulja also told viewers that Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy are only beefing for clout, and he told both of the rappers to fight or shut up. 

This comes after NBA YoungBoy went at Lil Durk on Twitter, writing, "@lildurk you a b***h & yo nasty a** h*e and it’s shown." In the same tweet, YoungBoy took aim at Akademiks, writing, "And @Akademiks you a pure Fat h*e who mouth gone be the reason you from now on (“invalid”) #RichestOpp." 

DJ Akademiks responded to YoungBoy, writing, "Lol I never thought I see the day my homie diss me cuz his sales low,” he reacted. “This rap game is the devil lol. Youngboy I forgive u man. We can get them sales up otherwise… lol. But ok. Capitol Records I blame u for this… y’all pressuring YB to get some sales he doing anything. Get my boy off house arrest tho. YB the last rapper I thought would ever do some s**t for sales. But damn. Go buy his album it drops Friday… He’s tryna outsell Lil Durk. I still love him thc. Buy his project."
