Soulja Boy’s departure from Instagram follows backlash over his claim to be the “first rapper with a basketball court inside his crib.”
Last month, the “Crank That” rapper made the claim in a livestream in which he gave fans a tour of what he said was his home, which included an indoor court.

Pretending he was on an episode of MTV Cribs, Soulja said: “Welcome to SODMG cribs, happy Valentine’s Day. I’m about to take y’all to the basketball court. First rapper with a basketball court inside his crib!”
He proceeded to showcase more of the lavish residence, featuring a dedicated locker room and a concealed games room.

Fans were quick to call out the rapper over his false claim, questioning the ownership of the court, noting his tendency to assert being the “first rapper” to do or have random things.
Fans immediately called out the rapper for lying about his claim and the court even belonging to him.
One user wrote: “That’s that penthouse they used in now that’s tv. [crying laughter emoji] you rent it out Gucci mane rented it. with his wife gee years back [crying laughter emoji] he lie so bad.”
Another added: “He capping that a suite a Palms hotel in Vegas,” while a third person observed that “it says palms on the floor” of the basketball court.

Others also pointed out that Drake already has his own indoor basketball court at his lavish “Embassy” mansion in Toronto, which he unveiled back in 2019.
