Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, who was robbed at gunpoint in his Atlanta home on Dec. 30, has finally broken his silence on the incident. The rapper had remained quiet about the incident until a recent interview with Los Angeles radio personality, Big Boy.

He recalls the details of the night: “Basically I was at my crib and I had my album release party at my club that night. I got back to my house at around three in the morning and I was in the studio recording. So two of my homeboys was in the living room and me and Arab we was in the studio recording. And somebody kicked in the door. One dude ran in put the AK to my homeboy head, put him on the floor. The other two ran in – my homeboy jumped in the other room – so the other two dudes ran back so I peeped in the door and they running through my house with Ks and pistols – so I ducked back. I really can’t dwell on what happened after that, but it was a messed up situation [and] I’m glad everyone made it out alive.”
