33. You dont see Lindsay, Paris, etc showing off their receipts after purchases. You dont see them walking the streets with TAGS hanging from their clothes trying to show everyone that they are wearing real designer clothes. That kind of thing just doesnt happen in some cultures.

34. They only reason he showed the paps his receipt is because bow wow blasted him you tube for wear and buying fake lv. I think it's patheic that you have to show people how much money you spend...who cares? This makes him look like a dummy and for all the people who taking up for him you guys should just shut the hell up it's not like yall can afford some lv...stop riding his d*ck! And how and the hell is he in college and he didnt finish highschool? And just because someone is in college doesn't meant that they are smart dummies.

37. I think I would have made the purchase in a state with no sales tax..... I couldn't afford the tax on his bill. He is helping out the economy...good for him

39. It's called being irresponsible. Let's see what he has in a few years. Look at the 1st post and that tells te state of American youth. Racism has nothing to do with this kid's ignorance. God Bless.

40. I think more of Soulja Boi now than I did when he first became famous. I respect him because the first song he released became popular from a website he made and he did not have a record contract.

To me he is just as encouraging as other teenagers like Bill Gates, the Myspace kids, and Google kids who paved their own way. Especially encouraging to other black youths despite what others may think. Everyone needs hopes of some sort.

41. 16. I watched this talentless idiot in an intervew on BET. He couldn't even string together a full sentence of which was somewhat gramatically correct. Did he drop out in third grade? Much praise to the parents for teaching their kid that an education is important. Pathetic

True, the kid should be spending a bit of that cash on a tutor. But Nicole, before you seek to critique someone else's grammar, make sure your OWN house in in order. "He couldn't even string together a full sentence OF which was SOMEWHAT gramatically correct." The preposition "of", mid-sentence, is incorrect. Also, "grammatically" contains TWO "m"s, not one. And finally, "grammatically correct" is an ABSOLUTE. Something is either grammatically corect or it isn't. It is therefore impossible for a sentence to be "somewhat" grammatically correct. Perhaps Soulja Boy will allow YOU to attend the tutoring sessions with him.

The situations are not comparable. Paris has an inheritance, so the money she makes in her various business ventures is merely gravy on top of an already financially secure future. Soulja Boy does NOT come from money, so if he recklessly blows all that he has now, he has no financial cushion on which to fall. Or are you unaware of the many "one hit wonders" in the music industry who fade into obscurity and poverty in a very short time, no matter the level of their initial success? Florence Ballard, an original Supreme, died on welfare. TLC, after having number one-hits, walked away with only about $50K each after their first album sold millions (record companies are notorious for their "creative" accounting). The music business is precarious, so the point is that he should have someone to guide him and help him INVEST some of the cash so that his future will be secure, rather than throwing it all away on trinkets..
