Randy Orton and rapper Soulja Boy had some heated exchanges on social media earlier this year. It began when Soulja Boy tweeted that the rap game is ‘faker than WWE.’
Several WWE Superstars took issue with his tweet, including Orton. He fired back with a barrage of insults, calling Soulja Boy “nuthin but a bitch ass” and said Bad Bunny actually had the guts to check out the world of pro wrestling instead of just running his mouth.

Soulja Boy Comments On Randy Orton Beef
Soulja Boy joined Ebro in the Morning on Hot 97 on Thursday and discussed his beef with Randy Orton. Host Peter Rosenberg pressed Soulja Boy to give us the real story of what went down. The 30-year-old Chicago rapper said he actually likes WWE, but is not going to take back anything he said to Orton.
“I said what I said about the WWE, he has a right to speak on how he feels, so I can’t knock him for that, but i’m gonna defend myself,” he began. “People know I like the WWE. Back in the day, with Stone Cold and The Rock, at the end of the day, I said what I said. I’m not gonna take it back.”
Ebro asked Soulja Boy to recap how the beef began. He said he was in the studio one day and came up with the rhyme about the rap game being faker than wrestling. He said Orton got mad and went off on him. “We went back and forth, but it wasn’t anything too serious. It was entertainment, this is wrestling.”
Rosenberg pushed Soulja Boy to clarify if their beef was just a misunderstanding. Soulja Boy replied, “That’s exactly what happened.”
Ebro suggested that Soulja Boy make things right by getting back in the studio and producing music featuring some Randy Orton quotes and send it to him.
“I’m gonna get back in the lab and try to cook something up,” he added. Rosenberg is ready to broker a peace deal and said, “I’ll connect you guys, let’s do it.”
