The rapper is under fire for comments he made about the U.S. armed forces on a new track titled “Let's Be Real.”
"F**k the FBI and the army troops/fighting for what?/Be your own man/I be flying through the clouds with green like I'm Peter Pan" Soulja Boy raps on the track.
Now, a former military veteran has filed an online petition, seeking to have the rapper's music banned from all U.S. military bases, while another rapping veteran has released a diss record aimed at Soulja Boy.
"Many Americans, civilians and military personnel, have requested that you please discontinue any and all of Soulja Boy's memorabilia," reads the petition, which already has over 1,000 signatures.
"In doing so, you would not only earn the respect of the American audience but you would also create a peace among all Americans today," the petition states. "Military personnel have become greatly offended with the previously mentioned song and removing said artist would ease a lot of the tension and violence that has been created."
According to TMZ.com, a former infantry sergeant and five-year combat veteran who raps under the name “Sgt. Dunson” disses Soulja Boy in the new song “Change Your Name.”
Sgt. Dunson said that Soulja Boy song was the most “ignorant thing I've heard in so long” and he was especially offended, because of the upcoming anniversary of 9/11.
Representatives for Soulja Boy have yet to comment.
