Soulja Boy Offers Drake Advice

Friday, May 15 2009 7:27 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus

You read right, in the clip DeAndre drops a gem on ‘em for Drizzy Drake.

“What advice [would I give to Drake]? Just take it and run

with it, man,” Soulja said Wednesday in the MTV Newsroom. “I don’t know

if I really had that type of buzz around me coming into the game. I

been hearing about Drake for a minute. You just hear it, like when

people be gossiping like, ‘Man, Drake the truth. He goes harder than

Wayne, man.’ I never really had that. Look what I did. With people

talking about him like that, just take it and run with it, man.”

Spoken like a true O.G. Ha!
