Soulja Boy, Victim of a Hate Crime by 12-Year-Old Boy Soulja Boy has been hit with a hate crime, literally. A 12-year-old boy threw a piece of concrete through the rapper's tour bus last week and got arrested for it. When asked by officers in charge what prompted the move, the young man simply identified as a native of Bloomington, Illinois said, "Because I hate Soulja Boy".

According to The Pantagraph.com, the incident took place Thursday, March 20 night but it has not been known whether Soulja was inside the bus or not. The day before that, he was scheduled to perform at U.S. Cellular Coliseum. The rock reportedly smashed through the bus window shield but no one was injured although some claimed it might have been "deadly". No representative from the "Crank Dat" hitmaker has made comment on this.

Soulja is due to serve other tour dates this Summer with Lil Mama's companion. The two young stars are due to begin "21 & Under" tour on April 11 in South Carolina and wind it down on May 11 in Atlanta. Rapper V.I.C. will be there too as supporting act.
