MUSIC FAB: Soulja Boy Goes WOOD First Week Out, Spends $3 Million On Gold Chains

Though music insiders never expected one-hit wonder, Soulja Boy, to make it to three studio albums, the first week sales of his latest project may suggest the party's over.  Find out how much The DeAndre Way moved inside...

Many people are suggesting that the The DeAndre Way went womp womp its first week out.  The DeAndre Way album debuted on the Billboard Hot 200 chart at number 79 with 13,000 copies sold.  And though nobody sells units like they did in the late 90s, the 13,000 units sold by Soulja Boy his first week out is a flop by any standards.
And of course, the next single could be a blockbuster and make the album platinum, but, for now, it is what it is.  At least he has his collection of gold chains to be proud of.
In a recent interview with MTV, Soulja says he has spent about three million dollars in total on all of his jewels. Is it worth it?  DeAndre seems to think so saying,

“Nah man.  Gold is the best thing going, all the people that’s watching, honestly … all of my jewelry together … gold is where it’s at.”

I'm sure there are at least a few stock brokers who may agree.  But who knows. I wish someone would tell him to diversify his assets.  But...I guess it would be hard to rock a 4-story brownstone on-stage.  And impressing other people is the most important thing right?
