Celebrities creating their own lines of clothing, scents, makeup and other products is nothing new.

One would be hard-pressed to go to a department store without seeing numerous celebrity-backed brands.


The newest name added to the list of artists-turned-entrepreneurs is none other than rapper Soulja Boy. Soulja Boy is known for his songs like "No Sleep" and early 2000's classic, "Crank That".

While his songs might have people dancing, his latest scheme has many people grinding to a halt.

On December 5, the rapper launched his SouljaGame Console and SouljaGame Handheld. The gaming devices can be purchased at the sale prices of $149.99 and $99.99, respectively, at souljawatch.com.

The console has 800 built-in games, an HDMI cable, a connector for older televisions and a USB power cable.

The handheld contains 3,000 games.

Both have access to PlayStation, PC, SEGA, NeoGeo, Game Boy Advance and NES Games.

Soulja Boy took to Twitter numerous times to share his excitement over the gadgets.



However, many gamers are taking pause because the consoles look a little familiar.

Sources like Polygon and Redditors are convinced that both the console and handheld are rip-offs of other products.

In fact, some are even insisting that the products are actually bootlegs of already developed devices sold at a marked-up price.

Twitter is full of skepticism.










Whether the artist totally knocked-off a different product, it looks as though he is in for an interesting ride.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
