The New Year wasn’t even a full 48 hours old yet before Soulja Boy decided 2017 needed some Twitter beef.
The rapper is no stranger to celebrity feuds, having gotten into fights with Lil Yachty, Rico Recklezz, Quavo, and even Shia LaBeouf, but now he’s claiming trouble has found him.
On Monday night, Soulja tweeted that Chris Brown wasn’t happy with Soulja liking an Instagram picture of Brown’s ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, and called him personally to tell him so.
Chris brown just called me and said he wanna fight me because I liked @karrueche picture on Instagram this nigga a bitch ????

Soulja, of course, wasted no time in threatening his new Twitter enemy:
Aye @chrisbrown pull up nigga I'll knock yo Bitch Ass out stop snorting so much coke nigga. FRUITS???

In turn, Twitter users wasted no time weighing in on Soulja’s latest publicity stunt feud:

This possible Soulja Boy vs Chris Brown beef is a great way to start off the new year.

A snapshot of the Instagram post and alleged comment has since cropped up on social media, showing Soulja’s comments as seven heart eye emojis.
Not exactly a comment worth fighting over, but when you’re a fued-expert like Soulja, the definition of ‘beef-worthy’ is probably a hell of a lot lighter than it is for everyone else.
And he didn’t stop there.
After ranting on Twitter, Soulja made a video slandering Brown, calling him a litany of names and even brought up his 2009 assault against Rihanna.

And if that wasn’t enough profanity for you, he then posted another video of his friend yelling obscenities directed at Brown for good measure.
Either the F.A.M.E hitmaker hasn’t gotten wind of Soulja’s comments, or he’s turned over a new leaf and decided Soulja doesn’t deserve a reaction.
Brown is rumoured to be dating model Krista Santiago, but his recent social media activities could hint otherwise.
Commenting on one of Tran’s Instagram posts, he wrote: “Still want it.”
Neither Brown nor Tran have yet responded to Soulja Boy’s claims.
