He details his time in jail and then coming back and refocusing on creating new moments, new music and new products. He talks about how Kanye West lied to him by pretending he was going to be on Kanye's 2021 LP, Donda. Soulja had the text messages to back his accusations up. He talks issues with Tyga and Akademiks tries to get him to apologize to Tyga and others he's wronged. He reveals he was the first to give Tyga a Cameo in the music industry and shows Akademiks proof of Tyga hopping out of a convertible in the 'She Got a Donk' video. He briefly recounts his issues with Migos and details the mindset he was in while going back and forth with rappers online.
