Not even three days after Soulja Boy tweeted he wasn't afraid of Nintendo suing him, something that in itself sparked a lot of controversy for having homobhobic slurs and pointing fingers against "nerds" that criticized him, which was later deleted, edited and reposted, all of the various iterations and versions of the SouljaGame console have been pulled from his own store. Shortly after the delisting of said item the rapper announced that he "had to boss up" as he had no choice, leaving fans and foes wondering if said move was to preemptively avoid being sued by Nintendo and the various games' copyright holders or if that legal notice had already arrived.
I had to boss up, I didn’t have a choice. 🤷🏾♂️

In the meantime, the store is still selling his other lines of products, advertizing his own brand of smart watches above everything else, while the links that previously allowed you to buy the aforementioned consoles simply return an error 404.
UPDATE: Soulja Boy deleted his tweet where he said he wasn't afraid of Nintendo for the second time. The link in this news piece has been edited to point to a screenshot of the first tweet, prior to the edits and reposting.
UPDATE 2: The website souljagame.com now redirects to Nintendo's website (as pointed out by @Essasetic )
