Even though Soulja, whose true name is DeAndre, is rarely seen, is close to his father, Tracy Way. Tracy avoids social media to keep his personal and work life private. Soulja Boy thanks his father for his early music industry assistance in rare interviews.
Tracy gave DeAndre a makeshift music studio with a computer and microphone, where he recorded and shared his music online, growing his fan following. Soulja Boy’s mother, Carlisa Helen Way (known as “Lisa”), has a rocky connection with the rapper.
Soulja accuses Lisa of mismanaging his assets and sought him out for financial motives in many Twitter posts. Lisa denies that she loves her kid for money and displays her devotion to him.
He is from Chicago, Illinois, and attended Northwest Mississippi Community College before moving to Atlanta, Georgia. Lisa, Peggy Jenkins’ daughter, maintains contact with Soulja and her sisters despite being unmarried. Her familial devotion goes beyond money.
