But then came a massive storm where some celebrities had to face issues, as their accounts were terminated on Twitch. Soulja Boy, one of the biggest American rappers, fell prey to this as the platform placed an indefinite ban. Despite enquiring for a proper reason, the platform kept mum, starting a controversy on the internet. But after neglecting the issue, Twitch finally came to its senses, lifting the ban and inviting Soulja back. 

What did Soulja Boy find in Blizzard Entertainment’s World Of Warcraft? 

After his massive comeback on Twitch, fans were elated to see Soulja Boy live. He hosted a gaming stream, spending time in the fictional World of Warcraft. But during the play, Soulja found a massive secret that almost made him jump out of his chair. Apparently, the game featured one of his iconic dances back from the 2000s that broke the internet.

And well, he also grabbed a few awards for it, establishing himself in the industry. However, the rapper was unaware of Blizzard picking up the hook step for their MMORPG title.
