17 YEAR OLD SOULJA BOY MAKES AN IGNORANT STATEMENT … JOURNALISTS PUT HIM ON BLAST FOR IT!!!

17 year old rapper Soulja Boy just put his foot in his mouth. Here’s what went down during a recent interview with journalist Toure:

Then came Soulja Boy Tell Em. I asked him, “What historical figure do you most hate?” He was stumped. I said, “Others have said Hitler, bin Laden, the slave masters…” He said, “Oh wait! Hold up! Shout out to the slave masters! Without them we’d still be in Africa.”

My jaw, at this point, was on the ground. “We wouldn’t be here,” he continued, having no idea how far in it he’d stepped, “to get this ice and tattoos.”

Ok … let’s all agree that what Soulja Boy said was ignorant – whether he was joking or not. But the boy is only 17 years old.
