Soulja Boy took to social media declaring “my life different,” reflecting on his maturation and lifestyle changes following a week that saw him apologize to R&B legend Kandi Burruss for an angry livestream tirade on October 25, 2025.
The “Crank That” rapper acknowledged his growth, admitting “I overreact sometimes” when explaining his public apology to Burruss after fans called him out for going after her instead of former videographer Charlie Rocket. “My life” has evolved significantly since his 2007 breakthrough, with Soulja Boy now focused on maintaining his legacy rather than creating drama.
The Atlanta icon has been reflecting on how “different” his approach to fame has become. During recent tour stops with Druski’s Coulda Been Fest, he emphasized that “swag is a way of life” and explained that in 2025, turning his swag on means
“get some money, hop up out the bed, go to work.”
Soulja Boy continues working on new music while balancing his digital presence across Twitch, TikTok, and YouTube. Despite recent controversies including his August 2025 arrest on weapons charges, the rapper maintains he’s “happy as hell” and focused on his career evolution, proving his life truly is different from his chaotic teenage fame years.
