Teen rapper, Soulja Boy Tell'em, is feeling the pressure over the influence he has on a young fan base, and recently said he was sorry for his potty mouth.
According to Associated Press (via Bossip), the 18-year-old apologized to his parents for some of his risqué musical content, and use of foul language, and wants to change for the sake of his young fans.
"Over the past few months, I've had a chance to meet a lot of my fans face to face and it made me realize that I got a large fan base of kids that look up to me," he said, reports the Associated Press. "I have a greater responsibility to the kids that want to be like Soulja Boy (and) I need set a positive example for them."
In songs, and on the internet -- the rapper regularly posts videos on his YouTube channel, which garner millions of views -- Soujla Boy has used inappropriate language, and now he wants to be looked upon in a positive light. However, he doesn't want to be a role model.
"I wouldn't say a role model because I think parents or a guardian should be a kid's main role model, but from now on, I'm going to make sure that every kid that looks up to me will get a positive image that the kids and parents can trust," he said.
The rapper just released his sophomore album, iSouljaBoyTellEm, this week.
