While many on social media believe that the crowd wasn't vibing with Soulja, some suggested that the crowd is muted in the official broadcasted recordings.

Soulja Boy recently performed at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, and people say the crowd was pretty dead. Moreover, a particular clip went around social media of Soulja performing his track "Rick & Morty," a viral offering. However, in the recording, you can't really hear the crowd screaming lyrics back at him or engaging with the performance. As one Twitter user posted, "there is not a single phone in sight for [Soulja Boy]." Still, some people pointed out in comments and reply sections that, in some recordings for concerts, they mute the crowd mics while the artist is performing.

Furthermore, that's exactly what's heard in the clip at the very end, where the rap pioneer instructs the crowd to "make some motherf***in' noise, man." Regardless of whether people actually got hyped up to the performance, it's fair to say that he's more known for his influence than his present contributions these days. In fact, saying the Atlanta-bred artist was the first to do "x" rap achievement is basically a meme at this point. As such, people seemed much more excited during renditions of classics like "All The Way Turnt Up" by Roscoe Dash featuring Soulja.

Meanwhile, the "Crank Dat" artist recently made headlines for things curiously outside his wheelhouse or own career. For example, he expressed support for Megan Thee Stallion following her victorious case against Tory Lanez, who shot Meg back in 2020. Moreover, he called out Lanez in the process. “You want to shoot b***hes in the feet n***a?" he said on IG Live. "Yous a p***y n***a. And when you get from jail n***a you know where I’m at. You got a problem n***a I’ll beat your b***h a** n***a. Don’t never rap over none of my beats, don’t never freestyle over none of my beats. You trash n***a. Your music trash.”

Certainly some strong words from Soulja. Sure, some people clowned it for not really being his business, but it seemed like everyone was giving their opinion anyway. Elsewhere, he recently got involved in a spat with Boosie Badazz as well over comments about straight rappers. Regardless of the oddity of that exchange, check out reactions to the Rolling Loud LA performance down below.
