Soulja Boy playing Football Manager with DoctorBenjy; watch

Last month, Soulja Boy stunned his fans when he started playing Football Manager with popular English streamer Ben Carr, aka, DoctorBenjy. With little to absolutely no knowledge about the game or the tactics used in it, Soulja Boy celebrated his 10-hour marathon crossover-stream with Carr by giving FM a try. 

Becoming the first rapper to play Football Manager, DeAndre Cortez Way kicked off his FM career with Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise, Atlanta United. Thanks to some assistance from DoctorBenjy and a tried-and-tested 4-2-3-1 formation, Atlanta squeezed out a 2-1 win over Orlando City. Big Soulja chose not to continue with his FM career, which means his Football Manager record still remains a solid 100%.
