In a plot twist no one saw coming, Soulja Boy is cranking that excuse to Kandi Burrussputting an end to their unexpected back-and-forth. The about-face follows his highly explicit tirade following an episode of Burruss' “Speak On It” podcast, where his former videographer shared a story about the rapper allegedly spitting in his food.

According to the Gray, the incident in question dates back to 2007, when videographer Charlie Rocket claimed he was working for Soulja Boy in Las Vegas.
“Soulja Boy called me to his room,” Rocket began “Talk about it.” “We're staying at the Bellagio, and he wanted to make a really viral video. He said: 'Come to my room. I'm about to order some room service,' and he ordered $1,000 worth of room service. When he was done, there was so much food left. I was excited. I saw some chicken fingers and I was like, 'Can I'm really hungry,' can I really be hungry?”
Rocket claimed Soulja told him he could have whatever he wanted – before allegedly spitting on the food.
After the podcast clip went viral, Soulja Boy unleashed a fiery profanity-laced live stream aimed at both Rocket and Burruss. The rapper denied the claims and threatened legal action, demanding an apology from Kandi for hosting the interview. He insulted the former #RHO star, calling her names and demanding her address since he was in Atlanta, stating that he would “pull up.”
“Yeah, someone tag this b*** Kandi too,” Soulja demanded. “B****, why the f*** do you have this fat n*** on your platform? I'm about to direct the f*** out of Kandi. Somebody tag Kandi. You on the motherf**** Internet claim I spit in your food, you're a b***. Who the f*** goes on the road with someone and doesn't eat for three days? And Kandi, f**k you too, f**k he-bald b***.
However, Kandi refused to be intimidated, and she quickly turned the threat into an opportunity.
“I heard @souljaboy cussing me on his live and said he wanted to pick up… Well, I'd like you to pick up. Let's talk about it!” she wrote on X.
Soulja Boy apologizes, admits he overreacted
Eventually, the threats disappeared, and Soulja Boy apologized for his behavior. In a subsequent live stream, the rapper walked back his comments, admitting that his emotions got the better of him.
“Man, I'm sending an apology to Kandi… You know, I react sometimes; I see things on the Internet. Much love to Kandi. If you can find it in your heart, please accept my apology – much love to you, much respect to you.
He explained that his true anger was directed at the videographer for “lying” on him and admitted that his friends had advised him: “You should have been mad at the dude, you shouldn't have been mad at her. I'm just gonna let that rock, man.”
