It’s unclear exactly what deal he is referring to, but he claims that networks like CBS and FOX have been “fighting” over his story.

In a separate tweet, Soulja decided to thank Beyoncé for sampling “Turn My Swag On” on “Hold Up,” a track off her chart-topping LEMONADE album.
One thing I can say though is shoutout to Beyonce the queen for sure 😊🙏🏾🙌🏾 #Lemonade #HoldUp

“I hop up out the bed and get my swag on,” Bey sings on the track, using Soulja’s song as inspiration. “I look in the mirror, say ‘What’s up?'” Due to this, the 25-year-old rapper was credited as a writer on the song.
Soulja hopped up on a plane and headed over to Paris to celebrate his payday.
Chillin in Paris. I see why Kanye always over here. Shits dope. Especially their fashion and stores
