C'mon Son! Moment of the Week: Soulja Boy drops $55 millie on a G5

Source. 

Please ROB me. Thanks. 

Most young adults would be content celebrating their 21^st birthday with a trip to Las Vegas, but rap superstar Soulja Boy had a grander idea.

For his 21^st birthday Thursday, the Atlanta rapper bought himself a $35 million dollar private jet, a rep from his management team reportedly told TMZ.

But apparently, the G5 jet needed some "Pretty Boy Swag" upgrades. According to reports, Soulja will be spending an additional $20 million dollars to add flat screen TVs, 4 liquor bars, a dozen Italian leather seats, Brazilian hardwood cabinets, and travertine tiled flooring.

The restroom will be remolded and enlarged, and the aircraft will get a new custom paint job featuring his logo.

A spokesperson for Soulja Boy had not responded to our request to confirm the jet purchase by press time.

On Friday, the "Crank That" rapper, will host a birthday extravaganza in Miami believed to cost $300,000. Sean Kingston, Bow Wow, and Dwight Howard are expected to attend. The event will be streamed live from SouljaBoyBirthdayBash.com at 11 p.m. eastern.

In April, Soulja Boy told Hip Hop Media Training that he was planning to team up with MTV for a Las Vegas-based bash. "MTV [is going to] be doing my birthday party. It's going to be in Vegas. I'm going to be in Vegas," Soulja Boy said. "MTV is going to be doing it just like I did my swag eighteenth party. I don't know. It's going to be my first time being 21. So I'm just gonna do me."

Say it with me: C'MON SON!

...and then when no one cares and everyone stops buying his music he won't be able to keep up with the payments. Hold on let me back up a bit. I cannot continue without sharing how utterly disgusted I am by this. What a COON a$$ move! Regardless of how much money HE THINKS he has, Soulja Boy isn't hot like he was a few years ago. His album sales have tanked and hip hop continues to suffer from the song plus dance craze he started. I wonder about the identity and credentials of his financial advisor. I mean seriously, WhoTF approved this?  I am not wishing ill on him or anyone else but I think this is an example of the ridiculous financial decisions people make when they go from nothing to a whole lot of something. I sure hope the $300,000 party is a rumor because there are clubs that will pay celebs to host parties so anyone who wants to drop $300k when they can make easy money is a fool. Granted, you may not host the club you want to host but if somebody gave me $10k to host MY birthday party, I wouldn't hesitate.  If he keeps making decisions like this, in a few years  he will be on some documentary discussing how he blew all of his money and regrets making dumb decisions. Mark my words! 

C'mon son! Moment of the WEEK: Bishop Eddie Gone WRONG Receives a WAD of Cash During Sermon

Did I say Eddie Gone WRONG? Ooops! Silly me to make that typographical error. I meant Bishop Eddie Long. I'm innocent!!

-__-

I KNOW I KNOW! Its only Tuesday but this video is filled with so much foolishness I'm confident no one will be able to top it between now and Sunday. Peep the footage and see it for yourself.



Manifest! Signs, wonders, and miracles! I couldn’t pray for that! That’s just the first fruit, I see everybody bringing that to the alter. Quick, fast, in a hurry.”


After she drops the stack of money in Bishop Long's hands, he compels his church to touch their neighbor and say "it might be her day today but my day coming." You mean my day is coming to walk up in the middle of your sermon and BLESS you with a ghetto stack of money? Apparently, the woman's decision to "bless" the Bishop was inspiring to other people in the congregation because they too decided to share their earnings with their Shepherd.

oooh ok Pastor errr Bishop O_O.

Signs, wonders and MIRACLES eh? C'mon son!! A blind man can see that moment was STAGED.

On the bright side, maybe he will use some of that "seed money" to fix his hair ::situation::

Choose your Shepherd's and mentors wisely!

P.S. It hurts me that he had such an opportunity to make an influence and IMO its down the drain now. *sigh*

Tell us how you REALLY feel

Good Afternoon friends! How is your Thursday? Well mine is going well so far. I had many things to do today and somehow everything is falling into place. Well enough about me, lets get to the reason I am writing this post.


I'm not sure if you've heard about this but here is the background:

Howard Stern had some harsh words for Oscar nominee Gabourey Sibide in a show of just plain bad taste on his radio show Monday. He was offering his non-solicited two cents in response to Sidibe's Oscar nomination alongside star actresses like Meryl Streep as well as Oprah's accolades for her at the ceremony. "There's the most enormous, fat black chick I've ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone's pretending she's a part of show business and she's never going to be in another movie," he said. "She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she's never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?"

"Oprah's another liar, a filthy liar," said Stern. "She's telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she's going to have a career."



As if enough people dont already hate him and his unkempt tresses insulting Oprah is a guaranteed way to gain enemies!


I'm just disgusted. I understand Howard is a shock jock and I actually liked his movie Private Parts but how long can he continue to hide his remarks behind the "this is just who I am" cop out? I call it like it is, a COP OUT. I am not a fan of Howard and I dont think I am in his demographic anyway but that does not leave me any less disgusted with his comments. We all know Hollywood is an image driven career but that does not give him the right to insult or discourage Gabourey from doing something she is passionate about and is darn good at. I will be glad when people stop focusing on Gabourey's weight and stop trying to convince her that she should be depressed because of the way she looks. If she is comfortable in her skin why do others see a problem with it?  Do you care?

Go ahead and tell us how you REALLY feel about Howard Stern dissing Gabourey Sidibe!

Tell us how you REALLY feel...

 Hello friends! Its time once again to share your unabashed opinion. Here is the background (I know I'm late, sue me. On second thought don't sue me, just leave a comment and tell us how you REALLY feel):

An Atlanta-area sports promoter has announced plans for—brace yourself—a whites-only pro basketball league. Dubbed the “All-American Basketball Alliance,” the league would only be open to “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race.” The commissioner, former pro-wrestling promoter Don “Moose” Lewis, says the league will tip off in June, with teams in 12 Southern cities. Lewis insists he’s not racist; he just doesn’t like the “street-ball” that “people of color” play.

I've heard several people complain about black people and our rush to call every single comment yt people make about race into a racial slur. It reminds me ofracist people who seek to disprove claims of their outlandish racist antics by saying things like "I'm not racist, I have 5 black friends" OR  remember what Judge Bradwell said after he denied a marriage license to an interracial couple in Louisiana? Here's a quick reminder: “I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”

Is the venture for the All American Basketball Alliance racist? OR is it just an honest effort to have something that yt poeple can finally have to themselves? Is it the same thing as BET, The Maury Povich Show, HBCUs and Minority scholarships which were originally created solely for the benefit of African Americans? Further, are we jumping the gun and simply being "trigger happy" by even wondering if what he said was racist? Do you even care?

Tell us how you REALLY feel about this proposed league.

REMEMBER you can remain ANONYMOUS! 

In case you missed it...PANTS ON THE GROUND *giggles*

Just in case the quote of the day doesn't already have you in the good mood, this video is sure to give you a good laugh. I'm still laughing! 62 year old General Larry Platt, you have earned a HUGE "C'mon son!"

Sing with me:
“Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground
With the gold in your mouth, hat turned sideways, pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat, looking like a fool, walkin’ downtown with your pants on the ground!”

Enjoy friends!

"C'mon Son!" moment of the day...

In case you missed it, Usher recently lost over $1 million dollars in jewelry, furs, and electronics in a car theft outside of the AT&T store near Lenox Mall (guess he shops like the regular folk). Among the things reportedly taken were two laptops which contained new songs Ursh has been working on. Pardon me while I vent: I dont have 10% of Usher's money and I don't keep valuable stuff in my car which means (in the words of Chris Tucker) if somebody tries to rob me he'll just be practicing!! For underestimating the things people will do to take what you have Usher gets a big C'mon son! Keep a watchful eye for "leaked" songs from Mr. "Sign them papers" himself.

In the mean time, share your "Cmon son!" moment of the day with your HUSL Today friends!
