Rapper reveals production will start in November, dreams of future biopic. By Jayson Rodriguez Soulja Boy Tell’em Photo: MTV News Are the “Teen of the South” and the “chairman” of TeenNick joining forces? Young Soulja Boy Tell’em said he’s set to begin shooting a film written by TV star Nick Cannon this fall. “Me and Nick Cannon have been talking back and forth for, like, the last year about a movie idea,” SB told MTV News. “I did a movie with him earlier this year with Justin Bieber [‘School Gyrls’], and it went straight to Nickelodeon. It was a good movie, but it was mostly for kids. We were talking back and forth, and he wants me to star in a movie that he wrote when he was, like, 17.” According to the “Pretty Boy Swag” rapper, production will begin in November. He was hush on additional details, but the 20-year-old star said he hopes his first foray into Hollywood isn’t a one-stop trip: He eventually wants to shoot a biopic. “I want people to know my story,” he said. “Because a lot of people know Soulja Boy and know my songs, but a lot of people don’t know where I’m from or where I came from, how I did it. “A lot of people do know,” he continued, “but a movie would paint the picture so much better. I wanna do a movie that’s my story, my legacy; what got me here and why I’m still here.” In the meantime, SB is putting the finishing touches on his next album, The DeAndre Way, which is slated for a fall release. His next single, “Speakers Going Hammer,” was produced by Drake collaborator Boi-1da. “Basically, it’s all about the sound of the music,” SB told MTV News about the track. “I got bars on this one. First verse, second verse, all bars — another anthem, as far as the hook. The hook is catchy. The video is gonna match the song perfect. And it’s another hit.” Do you want to see Soulja Boy on the big screen? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Nick Cannon Soulja Boy Tell’em
