Soulja Boy Served Eviction Papers

Soulja Boy looks like he could be facing eviction from his Atlanta apartment, after letting his rental debts slide drastically. Indeed, the 21-year-old rapper has already been served eviction papers, and still owes his landlord $4,725 in rent for November.
He’s been given a deadline of December 5 to pay up – that’s, er, today at the time of writing. Sources who know of his situation say he plans to vacate the building.
This is a rather grim end to a hardly wonderful 2011 for the rapper. Previously this year, he’s been arrested for marijuana and gun possession, was found to be lying about buying a private jet, got told he owed a significant amount in back taxes, and also provoked an outraged response from the U.S. military with a tasteless freestyle about the troops.
On the plus side, at some point in his life he has been able to afford to live in a $5,000-a-month apartment, so it’s not all that shabby eh?
Perhaps his next album, due next year, will see a change in fortunes.
