Who is Soulja Boy?
DeAndre Cortez Way, 34, is famously known by his stage name Soulja Boy Tell 'Em. In 2007, his single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song the following year.
With this record-breaking hit and amassing millions of views with other great hits like "Turn My Swag On," "Pretty Boy Swag" and "Rick & Morty," Soulja Boy is also credited for setting off the internet dance craze and popularizing YouTube as a platform for artists.
Coming soon: Rod Wave to stop at Nationwide Arena. When can you get tickets?
Soulja Boy also began dabbling in the gaming industry six years ago with the release of a video game console called “SouljaGame” in 2018, but the product was eventually discontinued due to copyright issues. He has since announced the possibility of a new video game.
Soulja Boy previously performed at Skully's Music-Diner in the Short North last year.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. Sunday. The show is open to all ages.
