Here’s Why Pretty Vee Sent Words To Soulja Boy
As The Shade Room previously reported, Soulja Boy called out B. Simone earlier this week because she commented on his music. Simone had previously said that she doesn’t think people request Soulja’s music. However, she did also explain that he deserves respect.
Soulja caught wind of her comments and went off on her while streaming on Instagram Live. The rapper referred to the comedian as ugly while sharing more disparaging remarks about her.
Soulja’s words sparked a response from B. Simone, who ultimately wished the rapper well while doubling down on her respect for him. However, his words also sparked a response from Simone’s friend, Pretty Vee.
“Don’t play with me @souljaboy You better play with them other ones like this but not @thebsimone Agains she said what she said, now WHAT,” she wrote via The Shade Room’s comment section, before later adding. “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus you living creature…”

Here’s Why The Comedian’s Words Offended The Public
Pretty Vee’s comment appeared to spark backlash on social media due to the recent fatal shooting of 36-year-old Sonya Massey. As The Shade Room previously reported, Massey was gunned down in her home by a police officer after calling for assistance on July 6.
Before the shooting, Massey told an officer, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”
Since then, Massey’s death has captured headlines nationwide. The now-former officer, Deputy Sean Grayson, is facing charges and an upcoming trial for her murder. Meanwhile, the incident has prompted celebrities like Tia Mowry and Solange Knowles to speak out.

Furthermore, the incident has also pushed President Biden and VP Harris to revive their calls for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. As The Shade Room previously reported, the act sets out to make “it easier for the federal government to successfully prosecute police misconduct cases, ends racial and religious profiling, and eliminates qualified immunity for law enforcement.”
