“I’m now the owner of Atari,” he said in the video. “I own the video game Atari.”

The Atlanta rapper further explained that the people at Atari were proud of his work with the SouljaGame Consoles and SouljaGame Handhelds. Soulja Boy added that he’s selling his own gaming company to Atari.

“We are about to sell the company for…$140 million,” Soulja continued. “Atari reached out…I just signed two deals with Atari. I’m the owner. The first rapper to ever own a video game company.”

Soulja Boy has been on his entrepreneurial grind for several years now. Big Draco has previously sold watches, received $10,000 for guest verses and saw his profits triple during the COVID-19 pandemic with his soap company, The Soap Shop.
