Soulja Boy is turning over a new leaf - he's going to tone down his swearing in future.
The 18-year-old 'Crank That' star has apologized for using bad language, which may have encouraged his younger fans to use similar words.
"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," Soulja Boy told the Associated Press.
"I have a greater responsibility to the kids that want to be like Soulja Boy. I need set a positive example for them."
Although the rapper says he is an influence on kids, he has also put the responsibility on to parents to raise their children correctly:
"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."
