Soulja Boy Talks Slave Comments

Soulja Boy is talking to StreetCred.com about his recent comments on slave masters.

In a recent interview with journalist Touré, Soulja Boy was asked which world figure he hated most. And when Soulja Boy couldn't think of any, Touré said other people had said Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden and slave masters. At this point, Soulja Boy said the following:

"Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we'd still be in Africa. We wouldn't be here to get this ice and tattoos."

Soulja Boy is now speaking to StreetCred.com exclusively about the comment.

The following is his explanation as to what happened:

"Man basically what happened that day, I was at BET filming the last episode of Rap City and then the Touré dude asked me if I wanted to do an interview with him and I said no. I had seen the interview with Bow Wow and Omarion and he was like roasting them or whatever and it turned out to be bad. I was like, I'm straight, I don't want to do an interview with you. Then, my management was like if he's good we can do an interview with him...for promotion or whatever...I was just joking. Most of the questions he was asking me wasn't making no sense. Like, he was asking me how I wanted to die and asking me all these questions so I thought he was joking with me. I didn't really take it seriously. Basically it was sarcasm that got blown out of proportion."

And to just to confirm it, StreetCred.com writer Maxine Ross asked Soulja Boy "you didn't really mean it?" to which Soulja Boy replied "...nah. It was a messed up situation. I didn't really mean that."
