Marlon Wayans' and Soulja Boy's quarrel began weeks ago, and the two continue to exchange barbs with the "Scary Movie" actor and comedian recently releasing an AI-generated country music diss track taunting the rapper.
Wayans posted the diss track to his Instagram on Thursday with the caption: "What you say 'Bout my mama?!" The song opens by accusing Soulja Boy of being on drugs, including "crinack and meth." The song then tries to poke fun at the "Crank That" rapper by saying he looks like "Flavor Flav without the clock," is a one-hit-wonder, is flat-chested and is a Bitcoin sellout.
After posting the song, Wayans continued to take jabs at Soulja Boy on his Instagram, even posting about the rapper's teeth.
"I don't take kindly anyone defaming my mama, my child or their community," the comedian wrote in a caption for an Instagram post on Sunday. "So without stooping to degrading levels, I'm gonna slap you with these jokes. Keep my name out yo rotten Mouf. You know what it is…"
Wayans' post came after Soulja Boy made some derogatory comments on X about the comedian's late mother who died on July 23, 2020, at age 81, Vice reported. The X post has since been deleted and is no longer on the rapper's page.
USA TODAY reached out to Wayans' and Soulja Boy's reps on Tuesday but did not immediately receive a response.
How did the feud between Soulja Boy and Marlon Wayans start?
The feud between the two began when Wayans criticized Soulja Boy for performing at President Donald Trump's Crypto Ball, which was a part of his inauguration festivities in Washington, D.C. last month. He made comments about the rapper during his appearance on Cincinnati radio station 101.1 The Wiz when he was asked for his opinion on Snoop Dogg, Nelly and others performing at the Crypto Ball.
"I mean, Soulja Boy, he's been canceled. Nobody cares who Soulja Boy is. Soulja Boy better go and get that check. I don't think he's had hits in… He don't care," Wayans said after volunteering the rapper's name in the conversation.
Wayans defended the musicians participating in the Crypto Ball by denouncing the "public skewering" they've received.
"We are divided enough," the comedian said. "To be honest with you, I don't know if they knew it was an underwritten (by) Trump event. I've done things for Bitcoin, right, and a lot of people don't really know about Bitcoin like that. I think they thought it was a Bitcoin event, and they came to find out it was a ball for Trump."
Soulja Boy directed homophobic, transphobic comments toward Wayans and his son
Wayans and Soulja Boy had been going back and forth for weeks, but on Feb. 12, things came to a head as the rapper directed homophobic and transphobic comments at the comedian and his transgender son, Kai, according to Entertainment Weekly and Billboard. The X posts are no longer available on Soulja Boy's account.
"You know you can get cancelled for transphobic slander like this… Fortunately for you that you don't have a career. Apparently, You BEEN cancelled for the last 17 years. Crank that was 2007. We waiting," Wayans wrote alongside a screenshot of one of the "Kiss Me Thru the Phone' rapper's X posts.
