Soulja Boy tells em he’s sorry
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 18 December 2008
US rapper Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, who hit the charts last year with ‘Crank That (Soulja Boy)’ has apologised to parents for some of the risque content of that single, and says he’ll try harder in future.
The eighteen year old star said in an interview: “Over the past few months, I’ve had a chance to meet a lot of my fans face to face and it made me realise that I got a large fan base of kids that look up to me. I have a greater responsibility to the kids that want to be like Soulja Boy (and) I need set a positive example for them”.
He adds that he doesn’t think it’s all his responsibility, saying he wouldn’t call himself a role model for children, though he said he’s try to be a better person anyway.
He continues: “I think parents or a guardian should be a kid’s main role model, but from now on, I’m going to make sure that every kid that looks up to me will get a positive image that the kids and parents can trust”.
