Soulja Boy Pops Off On Kandi Burruss During A Recent Stream
As previously reported by The Blast, Soulja Boy’s former videographer, Charlie Rocket, caused waves online by making shocking allegations against the “Turn My Swag On” rapper during an episode of Burruss’s podcast, “Burruss Banter.”
“I want to preface: I’m very grateful for Soulja Boy giving me an opportunity, but I’m grateful for the good and the bad because at this particular time in Las Vegas, I had actually not eaten in three days,” Rocket said.
As he went on, Rocket said he met Soulja Boy in his hotel room after Soulja Boy ordered a large amount of room service. “When he was done, there was so much food left over. I was excited. I saw some chicken fingers and I was like, ‘Can I can I get those?’ ‘Cuz I’m hungry, I’m really, really hungry,” Rocket shared.
