Soulja Boy has stuck his foot in his mouth one too many times and he’s now paying the price for it…according to what many online reports are saying and also according to what “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood’s” executive producer, Mona Scott, alluded to on Instagram.
The rapper- who I refer to as the young man in desperate need of guidance and lessons on how to respect people’s daughter’s before they make him “respeck” ’em- has reportedly been fired from the show for the threatening post he posted online a few months ago.
If you recall, we previously reported that Soulja went online and pointed what appeared to be a glock at the camera as he threatened his on-again-off-again-girlfriend, Nia Riley, and another rapper he thought she was dating. Nia’s pops, Teddy Riley, kept quiet about the situation, but I’m sure he was pissed off and ready to hurt Soulja for threatening her with a gun.
Although Soulja Boy said he quit Love & Hip Hop, according to TheJasmineBrand, a source close to the show clearly stated otherwise:
Via TheJasmineBrand: Sources tells theJasminebrand.com exclusively that he was actually fired from the show: “rBoy didn’t quit. He was fired after he threatened Nia (Riley) on social media, pulling out a gun. That was the last straw. What he did was irresponsible, dangerous and producers considered that a threat. His behavior got him fired. That’s not the brand that VH1 nor the franchise wants to have. They had to fire him. If anything had happened to Nia, they would have felt partially responsible for not intervening.”
We’re told that the entire situation, video included, got him axed from the hit show:
“That’s not the brand that VH1 nor the franchise wants to have. They had to fire him. If anything had happened to Nia, they would have felt partially responsible for not intervening.”
Like we mentioned earlier, Soulja Boy had previously posted a message stating he quit the show…
And also this message:
Via TJB: [I] Left the show; it was too ratchet. Now Mona [Scott-Young] is saying I was fired, but I never received a notice that I was not part of the the show anymore until after I said I quit on twitter. I have my own show coming soon with all my celeb friends that’s going to be huge. It was just too much drama and violence on that show. I have to protect my brand.
But Mona Scott-Young posted this…
Overall, Soulja’s side of the story seems suspect because of his reasons for “quitting” the show. So the dude who threatened to “pop” somebody with his gun online is quitting L&HHH because it is too “ratchet?!!” C’mon now, I mean, I’ll give him the benefit of a doubt by making it clear that I was not n the room when he was fired quit, so I can’t say for sure that he was not fired. But…”too much violence” Souljah?
On a side note, Teddy Riley is probably somewhere celebrating Soulja’s departure from L&HHH because at least his daughter won’t have to be disrespected anymore on national TV.
