Soulja Boy Says Chris Brown Needs to ‘Fix Himself’
Atlanta-based rapper Soulja Boy Tell 'Em is known for his fun-nature songs and antics, but when it comes to the Chris Brown and Rihanna alleged altercation, he's all business.
The 19-year-old rapper, who is a former tour mate of both performers, said that he was shocked when he heard of the news. "[Chris] needs to be focused on fixing himself right now and fixing the relationship. I don't know what went wrong or what happened exactly, but I couldn't be more shocked," he said in an interview at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards on Saturday.
"Both of them are my friends and I wish both of them the best of luck. They were really good together and it is sad that it happened. It came out of nowhere. I would have never seen that coming. It is not like him at all. Not his nature."
Soulja Boy went on to note that the couple' s popularity has made it harder to go through such an ordeal in the public eye. "Remember that only God can judge though. None of us know exactly what went down that weekend. Only they know the whole truth and it will be up to them to decide if they can get straight with it and whether they will want to continue as a couple. I can just be there if either of them need me."
The rapper, whose current single 'Kiss Me Through The Phone' is sitting pretty at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 Charts, will be headlining a tour this summer.
