Tough break. The rapper claims that he was hacked across multiple social media platforms:
@YouTube hey, A hacker hacked my http://t.co/xwqdIvTmjP and deleted all of my videos, can you contact me and help. thanks
— Soulja Boy (Drako) (@souljaboy) March 18, 2013
This is only going to make me go harder, they deleted all my YouTube videos that's some real hater shit right there

Because haters gonna hate.
Fortunately, Soulja Boy’s Twitter account was functional enough for him to let people know about the hack job. He used it to reach out to various social media gurus in the hopes that they could help him out of his predicament.
