Introduction

Soulja Boy’s net worth is estimated at around $10 Million. That’s quite an incredible figure when you consider his relatively young age.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, the famous American rapper DeAndre Cortez Way – or Soulja Boy, as he is commonly known – released his first hit single, Crank That, in 2007 at just 17.

The song went mainstream and became a huge hit, but what was interesting about this first Soulja Boy hit is that the tune caused a unique dance craze across the clubs and hip-hop/rap bars of America. As the dance became more popular, so did the tune, leading to a perfect storm of virility and propelling Soulja Boy into the mainstream.

Eventually peaking at number one in the charts, the release held that position for seven weeks through September and October 2007, firmly announcing Soulja Boy as a serious player in the rap music industry.

It is not unusual for American rappers to get lucky with one-hit wonders, but Soulja Boy cemented his fame with further hits while also producing and mixing for other artists, ensuring a firm reputation as a serious artist.

After the release of his debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, in 2007, his following album, iSouljaBoyTellem, in 2008, featured two further hit singles: Turn My Swag On and Kiss Me thru the Phone, both of which made the U.S. Billboard top 20.

Music Career

In late 2005, Soulja Boy released his recordings on the (then new) platform YouTube. Reviews The songs were well received by the community, and Soulja Boy then followed this by creating web pages on MySpace.

In the spring of 2007, he produced Crank That together with his first self-produced album Unsigned and Still Major; generally speaking this was da album before da album, with a self-funded video filmed showcasing the now well-known ‘Soulja Boy’ dance.

Towards the end of that year, Crank That was beginning to gain traction on rap stations, which in turn gave the artist a level of fame that led to a signing with Interscope Records.

Soulja Boy posted relentlessly on social media accounts, really pushing his music on various early social media channels, seemingly picking up a large following just through exposure on streaming platforms.

During that same year, Crank That was played on the popular network series Entourage, and by late October/early September, he found success when the song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

His first record label album Souljaboytellem.com was released in the U.S. in October, reaching number 4 on the Billboard 200 and Hip-Hop Albums charts. A Grammy nomination followed for Crank That, with the artist losing only to Kanye West.

Reception

After finding fame through web-based platforms and the success of his first hit and album, it was widely believed that Soulja Boy would be the next big thing. It surprised many when his second and third albums flopped, with many artists supposing he would be yet another one-hit wonder.

But by going back to his roots and exploring internet platforms again, Soulja Boy cemented his popularity and found fame, leading to his major signing. Soulja Boy earned almost $7 million through 2012, leading Forbes to classify him as one of the main Hip Hop Cash Kings for that year.

The timing was a factor in Soulja Boys’ success. Around those early streaming years, the bad-boy image of online rappers was beginning to gain traction. In many cases, the more controversy, the better. Soulja Boy exploited this by putting out quite risky content, often involving violence and a sometimes sexually charged theme.

This risky, edgy content, combined with energetic ‘Southern Sound’ rap that was becoming popular around then, helped confirm Soulja Boys’ success and launch him into the mainstream.

Ice-T Fall Out

In the summer of 2008, the well-known American rapper Ice-T criticized Soulja Boy for ‘destroying rap music’ and being generally untalented compared to other rappers.

The feud probably did very little to harm Soulja Boy’s brand image, and if anything, Ice-T’s public dislike of the artist helped develop his fame even more. The feud was only temporary, and both artists have become friends since then.

Modern-Day Culture

Soulja Boy was featured in the NBA playoff series featuring Cleveland and Washington. In another spate of trash-talking early on in the series, one of the players called Cleveland mega-star LeBron James overrated, which led to Lebron James stating that “I won’t return the insult, as that would be like Jay-Z replying to Soulja Boy.”

Soulja Boy made another feature of the series, with his rap music being played live over the sound system, aimed at irritating Lebron James.

Modern Day

Since those early years, Soulja Boy has become hugely successful and is a firm mainstay in the rap scene, with regular mixtapes released online, in addition to studio-produced singles, albums, and controversial music videos.

Since then, he has released several mixtapes, singles, albums, and videos, which have greatly contributed to his success.

Private Jet Acquisition

Soulja Boy claimed to have purchased a $55 million private jet for his 21st birthday in 2011, though this claim was dismissed as a publicity stunt due to a lack of credible evidence to support the acquisition.

These exaggerated financial claims became part of the rapper’s public persona, reinforcing his image as a wealthy comedic entertainer and overall likeability, even though the figures behind these announcements did not match reality.

World Poker Fund Holdings Contract

In May 2016, Soulja Boy announced a 5-year endorsement deal worth $400 million with World Poker Fund Holdings. The partnership required him to promote WPFH’s gaming assets using his influence from social media.

However, while Soulja Boy did sign the deal, further investigation revealed that he exaggerated the terms of the agreement. The deal was structured as a mix of stock and revenue-sharing based on the company’s future valuation rather than cold, hard cash.

Even with the exaggeration, Soulja Boy still emphasizes the importance of diversification by investing in sectors he understands, such as gaming and music.

Highlights

Despite his young age, Soulja Boy has enjoyed wide success through various records, mixtapes, videos, and radio specials. His highlight reel is quite impressive, given the short span of time he has been in the spotlight.

Since 2007, he is mostly known for the following hits:

BET Hip-Hop Awards, Best Hip-Hop Dance, (2007)
Souljaboytellem.com (2007)
ISouljaBoyTellEm (2008)
The DeAndre Way (2010)
Plug Talk (2015)
Loyalty (2015)
Real Soulja 4 Life (2016)
Best to Ever Do It (2018)

Summary

Soulja Boy is a popular and talented rapper, and he is extremely passionate about what he does. At only 27 years old, Soulja Boy’s net worth is already $10 Million and will gain more as he continues to make music.
