It is a well-known fact that Marlon Wayans has come to accept his trans son, Kai, fully. 

So it is therefore not surprising to see the actor clapping back at Soulja Boy for aggressively aiming at his trans son in their sprawling online spat. 

On Wednesday, February 12, Marlon Wayans shared a screenshot of Soulja Boy using homophobic slurs to diss Kai, insisting that their enormous family is full of gay people.

Marlon responded to Soulja’s remarks in a series of tweets: 

“If @souljaboy had a career, he could get canceled for this type of slander. Luckily he hasn’t been relevant since 2007.” 

The father of the transgender young man didn’t stop there; in fact, he kept his foot on the “Kiss Me Through The Phone” rapper’s neck and went on to call attention to Soulja Boy’s previous set of teeth and alleged drug abuse.

 “Tell me @souljaboy didn’t smoke crack. Look at the hot crack pipe burns on his lips. And them teeth look like they sayin’, ‘I’ll suck yo d**k.’” 

The 52-year-old even went ahead to reshare a video of himself speaking with TMZ paparazzi, detailing his “beef” with the YouTube icon.

Marlon was asked about his issue with Soulja Boy, to which he unloaded on the rapper in an impromptu roasting session.

Wayans told the camera-wielders, If you’re going to beef, you have to have a chest. That’s first and foremost”. 

Tattoos I can’t see—yo Black a**, stop getting tattoos when you that Black! Nah…me and Soulja Boy are good [but] Soulja Boy gets a chest! 

And you gotta have more than two songs to beef with a 35-year prolific career… You can’t do two songs, and I only remember one of them… I’ll put in one of the new movies—I need a crackhead for the new Scary Movie. 

But nah, he ain’t gon be in 6; I’ll put him in 13 when the franchise is going downhill… He can be the lead.”

It seems like this back-and-forth with Marlon and Soulja Boy doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon, so expect more unplanned roasts and jabs from the camp of Marlon Wayans or an Instagram Live from Soulja Boy.
