Yeah right, I'm calling bullshit. On Sunday, Soulja Boy (@SouljaBoy) tweeted in self-important all caps, "YES ITS TRUE I WROTE 'WHIP MY HAIR' FOR WILLOW SMITH. THATS WHY SHE SAYS HOP OUT THE BED TURN MY SWAG ON. WE GETTING $$$ 2011 NO GAMES." ...Whatever that means.

Sorry, Soulja Boy, but your worthless publicity stunt isn't working out. Nobody believes you, and this is just pathetic. Sorry that your latest album flopped, but as I've said time and time again, we can't all be winners.
