Okay, so just in case this deeply weird biff between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy wasn’t bizarre enough, it’s apparently all… for Rihanna?
Basically, the two rappers are set to face each other in the ring at a yet-to-be-announced date. Three rounds, live pay-per-view broadcast, the lot. Brown is being trained by fellow convicted domestic abuser Floyd Mayweather (they should get along great), while Mike Tyson agreed yesterday to train Soulja Boy for the fight.
Why? Honestly, who knows. As we reported on last week, it was apparently the only logical conclusion of simmering tensions between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy over Brown’s ex Karreuche Tran, whom Soulja Boy is currently trying to tune, but it could just as equally be an entire orchestrated stunt for publicity (in which case… ugh, you win). If you’re a rapper who isn’t beefing with another rapper, do you even rap?
[That whole thing is a mess and has a *bit* more too it – if you missed the wild ride, catch up here.]
But apparently, now Soulja Boy is doing it all for Rihanna. Christ.

In a recent interview with Hollywood Unlocked, Soulja Boy claimed Chris Brown was still feeling salty about his interactions with Rihanna six years ago.
Soulja Boy claims to have been dating Teyana Taylor at the time, but dropped her when he heard Rihanna wanted to chill. but kicked the singer out of his trailer when he heard Rihanna wanted to come chill. Teyana then called Chris Brown to tell him what happened, and there’s been beef ever since.
“The next day, I fly to New York. It’s like one in the morning, my management called, ‘Rihanna wants to talk to you. I text her…’I’m at the London Hotel, come through I just want to chill with you.’ I’m like, ‘Damn,’ I’m a young n***a from the hood I already know what time that is. I know what that’s about…That’s what the beef really stems from. It stems from Rihanna.”
Soulja Boy then claims Teyana called Chris Brown to share the tea, and there’s been beef ever since.
An honest-to-god fight that is honest-to-god happening. Maybe an asteroid will hit Las Vegas the night of the fight, wiping all participants off the face of this earth forever. Maybe they’ll biff, make-up, and fade into nothing.
