Snoop Dogg is another person who wasn’t a Soulja fan back in the day. Â But instead of raging at Snoop, Soulja admitted the OG hurt his feelings.

“When I first came out, he was like, ‘Crank That?’ What is this [bullsh*t]?’ N*gga, that hurt my f*cking soul. I wanted to cry,” said Soulja about Snoop. “I was 17 at the time so I’m like, ‘this is my idol f*cking telling me that I suck.’ I’m like, what the [f*ck]?”
Soulja later explained that he eventually ran into Snoop, who told him he learned to like “Crank That.”
“I always just had a soft spot in my heart for n*ggas] that hated,” Soulja explained. “Because I’ve always been hated on.”
