While speaking to HotNewHipHop, Soulja Boy talked about the past issues, noting he thinks Ice-T was “confused.” Soulja Boy said, “Man, I love Ice-T. F**k all that s**t. That s**t was petty as hell. He was just confused. He didn’t know what was going on! He didn’t know I was the truth. He didn’t know I was the GOAT. He didn’t know he was looking at the future in his eyes! He didn’t know he was listening to the wave. He ain’t know. You can’t fault him for that."
Soulja Boy went on to speak about what he took away from the back-and-forth with the legendary rapper, saying “When you fall out the mix, you gotta keep your ear to the street. That’s why I’m in tune with my youngin.”
He continued saying, “Look, I got some youngins and I keep in tune with my youngins, and I keep in tune with the streets. ‘Cause you gonna get lost in the sauce and end up beefing with the GOAT. That’s over with, man. You gotta show love to the younger generation and stand on your morals and principles. He was standing on his morals and principles. He didn’t like that type of music. You can’t do nothing but respect that."
