Soulja Boy has an uncanny ability to make enemies and make an ass out of himself. Earlier this summer it was revealed he was lying when he claimed to be buying a $55 Million private jet. Now he has insulted the armed forces, and they are pissed.

In his new song “Let’s Be Real” he says:

“F**k the FBI and the army troops … fighting for what? Be your own man … 
… I’ll be flying through the clouds with green like I’m Peter Pan.”

Now there are veterans demanding an apology, and claiming Soulja Boy is ungrateful. And especially with the 10th Anniversary for 9/11 quickly approaching, his timing couldn’t have been worse.

“This concert is about connecting people,” Frank Cleysen, Canadian Forces Halifax personnel support programs manager and general manager for the event, said in a statement.

“We’re connecting family, friends, neighbours and musicians in an evening of unbelievable entertainment. By including the deployed troops in this community celebration through the Canadian Forces Television we hope to send a clear message of support to our servicemen and women while they are away from home.”

Early bird tickets are on sale now for $65 at all Ticket Pro locations. After May 31, tickets will go up to $75. Check out the festival’s website here for more details.

Chickenfoot’s appearance at the event marks one of the few outdoor dates on the band’s first Canadian tour. The group features Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, guitarist Joe Satriani, and ex-Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony.
