Marlon Wayans released AI-generated country diss track on Soulja Boy
On February 14, 2025, Marlon Wayans dropped an AI-generated diss track on Soulja Boy on Instagram. It was the latest move in the longstanding brawl between the two. Wayans posted the diss track with a cartoon image of Soulja floating among the clouds, with the night sky in the background. Wayans captioned it as:
"What you say ‘Bout my mama?!"
The song accuses Soulja of being on drugs like "crinack and meth." Furthermore, it makes fun of the Crank That rapper by describing him as "Flavor Flav without the clock." In the song, Wayans describes Soulja as flat-chested, a Bitcoin sellout, and a one-hit wonder.
Wayans' comments came after Soulja made derogatory comments about the former's mother, who died in July 2023 at the age of 81. The post has since been deleted. Alluding to the same in the caption of another Instagram post on Sunday, February 16, Wayans wrote:
"I don’t take kindly anyone defaming my mama, my child or their community. So without stooping to degrading levels, I’m gonna slap you with these jokes. Keep my name out yo rotten Mouf."
The feud between the two first started when Marlon Wayans criticized Soulja for performing at President Donald Trump's Crypto Ball in January. Discussing the same during an appearance on the Cincinnati radio station 101.1 The Wiz, Wayans stated:
"I mean, Soulja Boy, he's been canceled. Nobody cares who Soulja Boy is. Soulja Boy better go and get that check. I don't think he's had hits in… He don't care."
On February 12, Soulja directed allegedly homophobic and transphobic comments on Wayans and his son, Kai. However, the comments have since been deleted from X.
Soulja has yet to respond to Wayans' latest AI-generated diss track.
