Soulja Boy's Life Chronicled In Upcoming Documentary 'Soulja Boy - The Movie'

Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy will be the subject of a new documentary being released this October, by Academy Award nominated director Peter Spirer.

"Soulja Boy - The Movie," is being released through a deal with Image Entertainment and One Village Entertainment.

The documentary will focus on the life and back story of the Atlanta rapper and his sudden rise to success starting in 2004, when he began recording in his father's home studio in Mississippi.

"Soulja Boy is undoubtedly one of the most creative, entrepreneurial Hip Hop artists I have ever dealt with," Peter Spirer said. "His ability to monetize the internet and his grasp of social media is unparalleled."

According to Spirer, Soulja Boy's enterprising ways, along with his understanding of the Internet world, has opened him up to criticism and even jealousy, from various rappers.

"I think sometimes the press, the public and his peers dismiss him due to lack of understanding or jealousy, and that’s where I hope my film comes in -- a straight forward intimate look at a talented young man," Spirer said.

"Soulja Boy - The Movie" is slated to be released to a variety of media platforms on October 18th.

Peter Spirer is known for directing a number of award-winning documentaries, including “Rhyme and Reason,” “Beef I-III," “Tupac" Thug Angel,” and "Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life."

SOULJA BOY Army-Bashing Song WON'T Be On My New Album

Soulja Boy and his management team are SCRAMBLING to remove all traces of the rapper's army-bashing song from the Internet -- and they swear ... it won't come anywhere near Soulja's new album.

A rep for Soulja's management team, both the rapper's management and his record label have been working nonstop since Friday to take the video down off the Internet.

Debby tells us, the song "Let's Be Real" was hastily and foolishly posted to the Internet -- and was never approved for any album, including his upcoming "Respect My Hustle."

Debby insists, the song will never be available for purchase.

We're told Soulja is willing to do whatever he can to make up for the song -- which contains the lyric "f**k all the army troops" -- including free shows for the military, and meet-and-greet sessions.

As we previously reported, Soulja has apologized for the song, blogging, "I Am Deeply Sorry To All Members Of The United States Military Services And Their Families."

SOULJA BOY RIPPED By Military Vet For Anti-Army Rap

A proud military veteran is demanding an apology from Soulja Boy -- after the rapper posted a video saying, "f**k the army troops."

Soulja ignited a wave of controversy this week over his new song, "Let's Be Real" -- which includes the lyrics:

"F**k the FBI and the army troops ... fighting for what? Be your own man ...
... I'll be flying through the clouds with green like I'm Peter Pan."


Fred A. Flores -- a retired Marine who is now a commissioner for the L.A. County Veteran’s Advisory Commission. Flores tells us, "It's a very offensive statement ... especially with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up."

Flores -- who has two children currently serving in the military -- calls Soulja "Ungrateful" ... adding, "He should apologize to ALL armed forces."

"[The rap] is very irresponsible," Flores stated ... "especially for a person who is an entertainer for the youth of our country."

Soulja Boy's rep refused to comment.
