Entertainers are a funny breed. They sell you this image of a life full of fame and fortune then three weeks after they cash their first royalty check comes word that the bill collector is on that a–.

Take Soulja Boy for example. He has a whole online video series called “Rich N—ga Sh-t” but as it turns out — he’s not.

Soulja Boy has been accused of owing over $9,000 in rent in addition to not abiding by a two-guest rule.

In a letter to the star, obtained by TMZ.com, the landlord writes:

“We have received complaints of noise disturbances and guests wandering the hallway and Observation Deck. This is a direct violation of your Lease Agreement. Additionally, we were notified that you had over 10 cars parked in guest parking on the evening of September 25th. This is a violation of your lease which states, ‘You may have no more than two overnight guests at a time unless we provide specific approval.’”

So on top of violating the terms of your lease, you don’t even pay your rent, DeAndre? What’s wrong, pimpin’? Spent all of your money on your new curls? That can’t be it. You sold way too many ringtones. Why won’t you pay your rent and let your landlord be great?

I don’t know why celebrities bother deleting their tweets. By the time you hit that delete button chances are 80 people have already screencapped whatever it is you said and have started passing it around like a blunt on Lil’ Wayne’s tour bus.

So, when you have a million followers and all of your fans are like 17 and typ3 lyk3 th!$, you already know they’re gonna be up on game and spread the news.

Such is the case for Soulja Boy, who seems to have a case of the “woe is me, I’m rich and famous” foot in mouth disease.

Peep the tweets:

“My music dream was THE SH*T 2 years ago before I was signed. It was everything I could ever imagine. Then I get signed. this is where my dream slowly died.. these c*****z wanna criticize a ni**a. Take REAL SH*T and turn it to trash. Water down my music and my appearance and make me look like something I’m not. THESE C******S DONT KNOW WHO THE F**K I REALLY AM!!! I go to the studio make new music for my fans to enjoy and party to. They take my sh*t hate on me. Make me look ignorant in the media. It’s all bullsh*t. Like WHY do I have to put up with this? because it’s my dream? that sh*t died when crank that went #1

I know what you thinking. But SOULJA BOY its the American dream your rich I would kill to be in your shoes. thats what you THINK its all BS! They say soulja boy u changed. soulja boy u hollywood I ain’t ask for this SH*T!!!!!! I want it to go back to how it was before i was signed I might be soundin crazy now.. I don’t really know about alot of things these days. But I just want EveryBODY to know this sh*t. Just KNOW that i’m only 18 man… And it’s only so much I can do. It’s only so much I can take. If your really fans and love and support me. You would hear me out and help ya boy get thru this sh*t.. I know everybody is gonna have opinions on the things that i’m saying right now.. but there it is. I’m not perfect.”

To his credit, he is only 18 and I imagine that sort of sudden fame and wealth is overwhelming. Not to mention quickly recording a follow-up album.

However, as I’m still in the process of making my first million, my sympathy levels aren’t shooting [that] high. If he has enough sense to make a fortune off of an album he created on his PC, he can figure out how to deal with this.

He better call some of his kinfolk and take a quick vacation.

I appreciate LL Cool J. I used to bop my head to “I Need Love” when I barely had teeth, and loved “Doin’ It” despite only being in 7^th grade (don’t be like me, though, kids). Having said that, I can’t remember the last time I’ve played an LL Cool J song. Can you?

I thought so, which leads me to this question: If people don’t listen to LL Cool J like that anymore, why would anyone want to dress like him?

When I think of the words LL Cool J and fashion my only memory is of him with one pant legged rolled up. The last time that was hot was back when we used to call him Marion Hill.

That’s why I’m not surprised that Sears will discontinue LL’s line due to poor sales.

LL not the only one when a failing line either. A while back there were rumors that Snoop Dogg’s clothing line was suffering from fledging sales.

Andre 3000’s clothing line Benjamin Bixby was launched last year and has also reportedly had problems moving merchandise. Shocker that many people aren’t willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a sweater from a rapper in a recession.

T.I. has a line that he’s trying to push. So does Jeezy. So do the Clipse. Soulja Boy mentioned doing one. Bow Wow’s said to be trying another line, too. 

But with so many lines outside of Sean John and Rocawear fledging, is it time for rappers to stop channeling their inner designer and find a new side hustle? 

Can’t we all just get along? The Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy feud rolls on and neither is backing down. By now you know that in a mixed tape Ice-T accused the 17-year-old of single handedly killing hip hop, called his music “garbage” and told him to eat a dick. Soulja Boy fired back on YouTube with a video saying that Ice-T (born in 1958) is old, behind the times and questioned the veteran’s career choices.

If you thought Soulja Boy wouldn’t own his words when the media’s cameras were on him, think again. “I’m the leader of the new school, you feel me?” Soulja Boy says when asked about the feud on a video running on tmz.com. “I guess he feels like he’s the leader of the old school. You know what I’m saying. I don’t know. I just know I’m the newest of the new and I’m the youngest of the young, you feel me? And everything I said in the YouTube video is true. I ain’t back down. I ain’t sugar coating nothing. I told it how it was. I ain’t backing down from nobody.”

Now Ice-T has released his own video in which he said he was merely replying to a question on about the state of hip hop and Soulja Boy and apologized for telling the teenager to eat a dick. And then he went off again. “Truthfully, a brotha of my caliber shouldn’t be talking down on a youngster your age. But as far as your music goes, it’s garbage. I’m saying that for all of hip hop.” Ice-T went on to say that Soulja Boy never should have responded but now that he has, look out. “When I diss you, there’s no ramifications,” Ice-T says to Soulja Boy. “You can’t hurt my career. I’m caked out. I don’t ever have to make another rap record. When you go against me you go against the whole West Coast. You go against all the OGs. And trust me, there will be ramifications, not from me, but from hip hop…You were supposed to take that. When old school brothas tell you something, you’re supposed to accept it and keep it moving.”

Kanye West was the first to take sides and went with Soulja Boy, writing on his blog that he has nothing against Ice-T or anyone else but, “ Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain’t Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain’t even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it’s 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? N***** always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning… that’s Nas level s***… he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas s*** if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track “Silent Murder” on it. In closing… new n**** get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this s*** fresh and original…. ain’t no f*****’ rules to this shit and that’s what real hip hop is to me.”

Who got  Ice-T?
