Soulja Boy Tell’em got a scary New Years surprise when six armed men allegedly invaded the rapper’s Georgia home and robbed him and his friends at gunpoint on December 30.

A representative for the 18-year-old rapper confirmed to AllHipHop.com that he was involved in a “serious situation” on Tuesday night. No one was hurt, but the robbers claimed they used a single weapon and stole $5000 and jewelry from the “Crank That” chart-topper. Soulja Boy’s friend Jbar was also reportedly held hostage.

“Thanking God for my life,” Soulja Boy posted on his Twitter page following the incident. “Six n****z kicked in my door and tried to kill me.” The messages were later removed.

In a viral video that surfaced on the Internet (below) on Wednesday, two masked men took responsibility for the alleged robbery, admitting to following the platinum MC back to his home after his album release party.
