METRO: Soulja Boy says he’s ‘not scared of Nintendo’ in deleted homophobic tweets

[AcademicSaucer]

The 28-year-old rapper, primarily known for smash hit single Crank That (Soulja Boy), has recently made his first steps into the gaming business – releasing three consoles in a SouljaGame Handheld, the Retro SouljaBoy Mini and SouljaGame FUZE. The consoles, however, have attracted speculation over whether they could face legal action – due to their resemblance to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

In the since deleted tweets, Soulja Boy wrote: 'I'm not scared of Nintendo or none of u f***ot nerds making YouTube videos eat a dick and thanks for the free promo.'

The consoles themselves are essentially emulators which play games available on other platforms, reportedly including Nintendo titles – a company who are notoriously scrupulous when it comes to protecting its properties. A report from MTONews recently claimed Soulja Boy had been contacted by Nintendo and threatened with legal action over the consoles. No games companies have yet filed a lawsuit against Soulja Boy. Metro.co.uk has reached out to Soulja Boy for comment.

If it wasn't on Nintendo's plate before, 5 million in sales will make sure he's getting a letter after the holiday's.

They still have until January 31st to return em.

 

[Platy]

He is very proud of his product considering it is basically a chinese emulation machine that you can buy on generic chinese sites without his brand

 

[-JD-]

op you can't put text in your post because people won't read it.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

5 million in sales? He's got to be referring to revenue, right?

 

[Valcrist]

Selling a handheld loaded with every single NES, SNES, GBA, GBC, GB, etc rom on it would normally get Nintendo's attention. Surprised I haven't seen any news about him being in trouble yet.

idk, in my experience the slur was pretty widely seen for what it is even, what, 12 years ago?

 

[Deleted member 28815]

Uh...I don't think the problem is the consoles' resemblance to the X1 and PS4 lol.

 

[Holmes]

The homophobic part is when he says "f*ggot ass nerds".

No but using it in the context of calling someone the F word certainly is.

What a bellend.

[Deleted member 11976]

DeAndre go home. You didn't clear 5 million in sales.

 

[Lukar]

I wonder if he goes to sleep at night knowing that his career will never be more than a one-hit wonder.

[FormatCompatible]

I'M SOULJA BOY!

You know, that treasured household name.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Yeah, I don't even know where to begin with this one.

 

[vala]

Nintendo should offer his music for free on the e-shop

 

[Dark Ninja]

Nintendo doesn't sue on day 1 lol doesn't mean the storm is over they give you hope then they take everything away when the lawsuit comes. This idiot is posting sales numbers he can potentially be sued for later whether they are real or fake. Just giving Nintendo or anyone else everything they need.

 

[Mediking]

He's just 4 years older than me but has so much money...

 

[pswii60]

Hang on, those consoles are real? I thought it was just a big joke.

 

[Dyle]

He's so fucked. Nintendo is going to sue him for all he's worth then take his copyrighted dance moves and get Epic to pay them for Fortnite.

 

[Wrestleman]

I reported those tweets as he was posting them this morning lol I hope many others did the same

Fucking idiot

No, they're apparently very real. Just loaded with tons of ROMs as far as I'm aware. So he certainly is buggered if they bother.

 

[MegaXZero]

Man when Nintendo sues him, it's going to be glorious.

Actually if society didn't looked down both on gays and on women, eating a dick would not be seen as a bad activity and therefore would not be considered a cursing.
So in a way ... yes.

But it is not the focus here =P
