Soulja Boy has always looked slim, but now his manager say the rapper has put on more than a few pounds following his release from jail. Speaking with TMZ, Soulja's manager, Miami Mike, said Soulja had to go cold turkey on lean and other drugs when he went to L.A. county jail earlier this year. As a result, he's been off lean since he was released in July, and since it can often suppress the appetite of its users, Mike said the rapper has gained 50 lbs. in just three months.
Prior to his time behind bars, Soulja Boy reportedly weighed 130 lbs., but now that he's got his appetite and desire to work out back, he's jumped up to approximately 180 lbs. Since he was on lean so frequently, Miami Mike added that it's also been beneficial for the rapper's finances too, saving him somewhere between $500 to $800 a day.
In April, Soulja was sentenced to 240 days in jail for violating his probation, however he was ultimately released early.
As TMZ reported following his release, Soulja Boy was determined to make big changes in his life. He cut off people he believed were bad for him, and he also decided to utilize social media far less frequently. According to his manager, it sounds as though he's stayed true to his word.
