Rapper Soulja Boy and actor Marlon Wayans are currently embroiled in a heated social media feud that has captured significant attention. The conflict ignited when Soulja Boy unexpectedly posted on X, attacking Wayans following previous criticisms made by the actor concerning the rapper’s involvement in events surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration. Wayans had labeled Soulja Boy as “canceled,” asserting that his decision to perform at the Crypto Ball was a desperate attempt to remain relevant.
In January, Marlon Wayans openly criticized several artists, including Soulja Boy, for accepting invitations to perform at the aforementioned event, which he described as a poor career choice. “I mean Soulja Boy, he been canceled, nobody cares about Soulja Boy. So Soulja Boy better go and get that check… I think they thought it was a Bitcoin event, and they found out it was a ball for him, and it was too late to pull out,” he remarked during an interview on 101.1 The Wiz. His comments sparked a response that would soon escalate into an all-out social media war.
On Monday, Soulja Boy retaliated with a post on X, which read, “Marlon Wayans you a b—h and u not funny shut up.” This prompted a sharp reply from Wayans, who stated, “You molested lil boy. Go sit your lil a– down on some uncle lap and stfu.” The exchange continued, with Wayans mocking the rapper for still using the word “boy” in his name, suggesting it reflected Soulja Boy’s lack of maturity.
The feud took a darker turn when Soulja Boy targeted Marlon Wayans’ son, who publicly came out as transgender in 2024. He tweeted, “Ain’t yo son a t—y that suck d–k? @MarlonWayans.” Continuing with his offensive remarks, Soulja Boy insinuated that such behavior ran in Wayans’ family history. He even shared screenshots highlighting Wayans’ supportive actions toward his son in 2023.
This intense dispute exemplifies how social media can amplify personal conflicts, posing widespread implications for both celebrities involved. Marlon Wayans shot back, saying, “If @souljaboy had a career he could get cancelled for this type of slander. Luckily he ain’t been relevant since 2007.” The significance of this feud raises questions about accountability and the long-lasting effects of online disputes on public figures’ personal and professional lives.
