Why are Top5 and Soulja Boy in a feud? Drama explained

It seems musical artists Top5 and Soulja Boy, aka DeAndre Cortez Way, are at loggerheads with each other. As per social media reports, the feud began after Soulja shared an X post on May 3, 2025, criticizing Drake. In the now-deleted post, he wrote:

“You a b*tch a** ni**a @Drake keep playing with me im gon show yo pu**y a** ni**a.”

Top5 then shared an Instagram story, seemingly threatening Boy. Tagging Soulja Boy, he wrote:

“@souljaboy u wouldn't last in my city.. now shut up.”

This online back-and-forth escalated to a point where the two artists leaked each other’s contact numbers on social media. Top5 shared Boy’s number in a screenshot with the caption:

“Hey guys. Give this fish a call if you swing that way.”

Soulja also did the same. However, this wasn’t the first time that he dissed Drake. In January, a self-recorded video of him circulated on social media platforms where he was seen criticizing the Canadian rapper.

Boy insulted Drake, telling him to stay in Canada and claiming he wasn’t even allowed to come to the U.S. and meet the President. He also warned others to stop messing with him. In a separate video, he asked people who they thought won the rap battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

The same month, Soulja Boy went after Drake while commenting on the Southern California wildfires. He tweeted about the fires, saying Los Angeles burned down easily. He ended the message by saying Drake had gone out disappointingly.

Exploring some of Soulja Boy’s previous feuds

According to HotNewHipHop, in January 2017, Soulja Boy and Chris Brown got into a feud after Soulja liked a post by Chris's former partner, Karrueche Tran. This led to threats and insults between them. Their argument escalated to the point where they planned a boxing match.

Soulja even showed up in Compton for a street fight but ended up getting attacked. Eventually, the boxing match didn’t happen, and Soulja later said they had a conversation and settled the situation.

During this feud, 50 Cent jumped into the scene by encouraging them to go through with their planned boxing match. When Soulja Boy seemed ready to back out and posted a video saying his mom was in the hospital, 50 Cent mocked the apology with memes.

Soulja was reportedly looted in Compton, but 50 Cent continued trolling him online. Boy clapped back with a now-deleted Instagram post and even dropped a diss track aimed at both 50 and Chris.

Trending

Lil Yachty and Soulja’s conflict started in October 2016 over model India Love. After Yachty asked Soulja to delete a photo with her, the latter refused and instead posted more photos and texts, claiming India didn’t know Yachty.

Yachty responded by downplaying the drama and later dissed Soulja during a live performance. The tension continued until Soulja Boy claimed Yachty begged him to end the feud, but Yachty countered by leaking a phone call where Soulja was the one to apologize.
