Conceited rapper Soulja Boy is somewhere crying in his milk right now. According to Soundscan, Soulja Boy’s much-hyped self-titled CD, The DeAndre Way, sold a measly 13,360 copies!
By comparision, Bow Wow’s album, New Jack City II, which dropped last year, sold 30,000 copies in the 1st week.
Soulja Boy, 20, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, once said this album would be the “biggest” of his career. He relentlessly promoted TAW to over 2 million of his followers on Twitter.
SB even Twitpic’d photos they posted of themselves holding up his album. But it was all for naught. Poor Soulja Boy is one of many clueless celebrities (and other narcissists on Twitter) who think their follower count actually means something outside of the social networking website.
The DeAndre Way spawned the hit single “Pretty Boy Swag,” which peaked at #6 on Billboard and went on to sell over 500,000 copies.
