It appears that musicians Chris Brown and Soulja Boy are going to turn their beef into some cold hard cash.
The two artists started a feud over something as simple as Soulja Boy liking a picture of Chris Brown’s ex on Instagram and escalated from there. The feud seemed to have been over once Soulja Boy apologized yesterday, but then it seems like they found out they could make some money.
Floyd Mayweather caught wind of the feud and if you know his nickname, you know he’s always interested in making some money. So, apparently the fight is going to happen and Floyd Mayweather will be promoting it.
Shortly afterward, Soulja Boy confirmed the fight, stating that he signed a contract to make $1,000,000 from the bout.
Then, if this situation didn’t already have too many cooks in the kitchen, 50 cent saw an opportunity to make some money and got in on the action as well. He wanted to throw down some money and in some NSFW Instagram videos, he suggested he would bet as much as $400,000.
“Chap just hit my phone telling me he is going to take the bet, that [$250K] ain’t nothing. He bet $400,000.”
If you were going to bet on anybody, it would probably be Soulja Boy. He has Floyd Mayweather in his camp and called him his trainer, which is a pretty huge advantage.
