Soulja Boy Apologies For Vulgar Outbursts

December 18, 2008
Soulja Boy Apologies For Vulgar OutburstsUS rapper Soulja Boy has promised to cut down on using vulgar language in order to set a good example to his young fans.

The rapper said he wanted to regain the trust of his fans after he was criticised for sweaing in a YouTube video.

He told the Associated Press news agency: "Over the past few months, I've had a chance to meet a lot of my fans face to face and it made me realize that I got a large fan base of kids that look up to me.”

"I have a greater responsibility to the kids that want to be like Soulja Boy (and) I need set a positive example for them."

He added: "I wouldn't say a role model because I think parents or a guardian should be a kid's main role model, but from now on, I'm going to make sure that every kid that looks up to me will get a positive image that the kids and parents can trust.”

As previously reported, last month Soulja Boy sparked controversy after he gave a shout out to American slave masters at an awards ceremony in Atlanta.
