Soulja Boy turns actor
December 1st, 2010 - 6:21 am ICT by IANSLondon, Dec 1 (IANS) Rapper Soulja Boy is all set to try his hand at acting marking his film debut. The film will be a biopic documenting a rapper’s rise to fame and will be based on his own life and success.
The “Crank That” star will lead the cast in the upcoming “The DeAndre Way” and insists that the film will show his critics what a “true success story” really is.
“A lot of people say Soulja Boy is a one hit wonder, and he’s lucky. It’s not even about music. It’s about a success story, but it’s a true story from the bottom to the top, a true success story,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Soulja Boy as saying.
The movie had been pitched to the rapper a long time ago and will now materialise post his consent making it the beginning of his movie career.
“These people have been pitching me this movie idea for so long, and now I am letting them orchestrate my art and tell my story and let people see it on the big screen,” he said.
