Soulja Boy vs. Blueface
Verzuz talk, the parking-lot pull-up, and jail-era taunts
Blueface’s claim that he could beat anyone hit-for-hit in Verzuz prompts Soulja Boy’s viral catalog rebuttal. Personal claims, a purported parking-lot pull-up, and a joint IG Live turn the exchange hostile; jail-era taunts follow, but no physical meeting is documented and the conflict has since slowed.

Personal claims and a purported pull-up raise the temperature

Jail calls and legal fallout slow the exchange
A defamation case follows the personal claim, while Blueface’s probation case leads to incarceration. Soulja Boy taunts him online and Blueface continues taking shots by jail call, but the active back-and-forth loses momentum afterward.
