Soulja Boy has issued a response to streetwear designer Desto Dubb’s fight challenge, which was a result of Big Draco having beef with Drakeo The Ruler before his death.
Soulja and Drakeo’s feud all started back in 2020 after the former decided to adopt the “Big Draco” moniker while the “Talk to Me” rapper was in prison.
“There is only one Drakeo and that’s me. There is no Big Draco or none of that shit n-ggas is talking bout!!” Drakeo wrote on Instagram after he was released.
It didn’t take long for Soulja to respond as he took to Instagram Live to say: “Anything you rap n-ggas done did, I already did it, n-gga. Signing a record deal, I been did it. Fucking these groupie ass hoes, I been did it. Doing songs with these rap n-ggas, I been did it. Y’all n-ggas late, y’all n-ggas catching up. Going viral on the internet, I been did it.”
The beef never resolved itself, and Drakeo passed away a year later after he was stabbed at a Los Angeles festival. While the feud ultimately fizzled out, Desto Dubbs reminded Soulja Boy on Wednesday (July 5) that some people never forget.
“Hey, everybody tell Soulja Boy I want a boxing match,” he told his followers on Instagram Live. “C’mon Soulja, show me some money.”
He continued: “I got $100k saying I’ll slap the taste out of your mouth. I’ll fight this n-gga with one hand. Just keep Drakeo’s name out your mouth. Keep Drakeo’s name out of your mouth, can’t be doing all that shit.”

Once again, it didn’t take long for Soulja to respond as the SODMG boss fired back during a profanity-laced Instagram Live rant.
“Y’all n-ggas end up dead, though. That’s a whole other story, that’s what I’m saying. Stop saying my name, pussy ass n-gga,” Soulja said. “Y’all fuck n-ggas boy. I’m not the one to play with, n-gga. You fuck n-ggas is not slapping shit, on God, n-gga. I’ll air this bitch out, 100 rounds, n-gga.”
He continued by speaking on a previous interaction he and Dubbs had in person and said if he had tried anything with him then, then he would have gotten shot.
“You knew. We been beefing, n-gga. You ain’t gonna slap shit,” Soulja continued. “Drakeo your brother and shit…don’t ever speak on me no more, n-gga, or we going to war.”

Shortly after Drakeo The Ruler’s death, his family announced that they were opening a wrongful death lawsuit against Live Nation, one of the organizers behind the festival where he was fatally stabbed.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco eventually ruled in favor of Drakeo’s brother Devante Caldwell to have his case move forward, dismissing a motion by Live Nation to have the case dismissed.

In the motion, filed last July, the company claimed that it could not be held liable for the attack on the slain rapper, which took place backstage at the Once Upon A Time In L.A. festival in December 2021.
Live Nation maintained that it had no way to predict such an attack could happen, as no similar prior incident had happened at the Banc of California Stadium in L.A.’s Exposition Park, where the event was held. However, Orozco’s ruling listed a number of reasons to move forward with Devante Caldwell’s suit.
“Although the occurrence of a mob/gang attack may have occurred for the first time, defendants may nevertheless be held liable if the facts show that the danger was foreseeable and/or preventable,” she wrote. “The fact that defendants knew security would be needed for the event supports the finding that the performing artists’ safety was a concern for defendants and foreseeable to defendants.”
Drakeo’s murder remains unsolved. It was previously reported that the investigation into his death had stalled due to a lack of witness cooperation.

Since putting on gloves at 13 years old, Canelo Alvarez has gone from red-haired rookie sensation to boxing royalty.
Born in Guadalajara, the Mexican star has won gold in four divisions and he’s the current undisputed super middleweight champion. He has beaten the best in boxing, including Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Amir Khan, and Gennadiy Golovkin.
Now 33, the battle-hardened Canelo has transitioned into the “veteran” category and some feel his best years are behind him. He now seeks to prove his doubters wrong when he defends his titles against Jermell Charlo on September 30.
“I always believe that I’m number one, my whole career,” Canelo said at a media workout. “You need to believe in yourself, I still believe I’m number one. But I believe there is more than just one fighter alone at the top, there are a few. I still feel young and fresh. I never think about the end of my career. I just train and fight year after year. I still feel that I’m at my best.”
The Canelo-Charlo fight takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a familiar home for Canelo, whereas Charlo is headlining there for the first time. The 12-round bout, plus undercard action, will air on Showtime PPV in the U.S. and DAZN in the U.K.

Per Sports Interaction, Canelo is the -388 favorite, while Charlo, the undisputed super welterweight champion, is the +288 underdog. Despite those odds, Charlo, also 33, sees himself as the better fighter.
“This is the biggest fight in boxing, and I’m coming to leave it all in the ring like I do every time,” Charlo said. “I manifested this fight into existence and earned it with everything I’ve done in this sport so far. Canelo is a great fighter, but he’s gonna see what Lions Only is all about. When the fight’s over, people are gonna have to recognize that I’m the best fighter in the sport.”
Charlo is not worried about the weight gain, having to move up two weight classes to take on Canelo. Sparring big men and working alongside his brother Jermall, the WBC middleweight champion, Jermell believes this is the perfect time to fight Canelo.
Does Charlo have a fair point? Could Canelo be overlooking the supposedly smaller man?
Canelo already announced his intentions on The Breakfast Club to retire around 36-37. He even teased retirement if he lost to John Ryder in May, which is a fight he would go on to win by unanimous decision. A former pound-for-pound No. 1, Canelo has tough challenges ahead of him outside of Charlo, including David Benavidez and a potential rematch against light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Boxing great Bernard Hopkins believes Charlo is a different challenge for Canelo, who hasn’t fought below super middleweight since 2019.

“His style is totally different from the styles that Canelo has fought. [Charlo is] younger, more determined to prove that Canelo’s time has been great, but it’s up,” Hopkins told Fight Hype via Boxing Social. “I just believe that Canelo will have to get him out of there early. The later the fight goes, the more Canelo will start showing not only his age but he’ll start showing the success he’s been enjoying for so long is starting to look different.
“I see hard-earned, skillful moments in that fight where [Charlo], who wants to prove himself, will come out and show us something that we knew he had, but he’s never had to show it till he steps in with Canelo. Canelo elevates Charlo. I just think he has the skills, and if he maintains that mentality, it can be really a nightmare for Canelo, based on style.”
Charlo was supposed to fight Tim Tszyu for super welterweight gold before a hand injury nixed a planned bout. He wants to become undisputed at 168, return to 154, and potentially take on pound-for-pound No. 1 Terence Crawford. Regardless of his upcoming plans, Charlo’s focus is solely on beating Canelo, the man who has had beef with both brothers.
Holding more gold and honoring family is enough motivation for Charlo. Though he has proven everyone wrong over the years, the current uncertainty surrounding Canelo may be the perfect time for the Louisiana-born Charlo to face the super middleweight king.
