Soulja Boy Claims He’s the First Rapper With a Really Big Nintendo Switch
The rapper once made a well-documented foray into the console market.
Soulja Boy has become the first rapper to do something yet again — have a ginormous Nintendo Switch.
The rapper, who’s in Kentucky on the SODMG tour, shared a video from what looks like a tour bus in which he’s showing off his Nintendo Switch. It’s no regular switch though because the screen is way bigger than the 5.5, 6.2, and 7-inch sizes that are currently available on its models.
While he struggles to hold the massive thing, Soulja Boy flexes his pioneering status in a video showing off the unique device. “It’s ya boy Soulja Boy and I’m the first rapper with the super duper XXL Nintendo Switch,” he said. “You niggas do not got the big Nintendo Switch. Stop playing. And I’m playing Pokemon.”
No word on how he was able to obtain it
Soulja Boy’s love for gaming has been known for quite some time. Back in 2018, he became the first rapper to release his own video game consoles — the SouljaGame Handheld and SouljaGame Console.
According to Polygon, Soulja Boy’s consoles were drop shipped systems from a Chinese manufacturer called Anbernic, just marked up so the rapper could make more money off of their sales.
Soon after they came out, he announced the release of the Retro SouljaBoy Mini and the SouljaGame Fuze which, also, were seemingly drop shipped. Before the end of that December, the consoles were pulled off of his store because he was facing a potential lawsuit from Nintendo.
A couple of months ago, Soulja Boy performed at Seaworld in San Diego with Bow Wow for the venue’s Summer Concert Series. Videos of the show captured the duo performing songs like “Crank That,” Take Ya Home” and “Donk” — plus, everyone there celebrated Soulja Boy’s birthday by serenading him.
