It hasn't even been a month into 2019, but Soulja Boy is looking to take care of business and call practically everyone in the business out.

The Chicago-born rapper first appeared on the radio show "The Breakfast Club" Wednesday and proceeded to call out all the big names in the industry, including Kanye West, Drake and Tyga.

Soulja Boy then called out 25-year-old rapper Famous Dex, claiming he played a role in the start of Famous Dex's career which then ignited a profanity-filled Instagram Live exchange between the two rappers.

"And Famous Dex, you better watch your f***ing mouth too, n***a," he said. "The f*** is wrong with you?"

The "Crank That" rapper accused Famous Dex of being "ungrateful" and signing with Rich the Kid after making plans with his own label, S.O.D. Money Gang Entertainment.

"Famous Dex, stop playing with me, n***a. N***a, you fake, n***a. You ain't no real n***a. You a b***h."

"I put you on, you ungrateful a** little crackhead," he added. "F*** is wrong with you, n***a? You a f***in' junkie, n***a. When you left my house, you left, like, a 100 pills on the ground. You a f***in' junkie, foamin' out the side of your mouth."

After nearly 10 minutes of a solo rant, Famous Dex joined Soulja Boy's Instagram Live and the two got into an extremely heated argument with nearly 11,000 people watching and sending comments.

"Who did you put on?" Famous Dex angrily questioned.

"I put you on, n***a and that's fact," Soulja Boy fired back.

The two rappers were screaming and threatening each other for over three minutes before Famous Dex signed off, garnering over 18,000 viewers. Soulja Boy continued venting to his viewers saying Famous Dex bit "the hand that feeds [him]."

"I remember trying to help Famous Dex. He was a Chicago bro," Soulja Boy said.

More notably, the 28-year-old also told Charlamagne that he taught everything that Drake knows after the radio host coined him "the biggest rapper in the world."

"Stop playing with me like I ain't teach Drake everything he knows," Soulja Boy said. "Y'all ain't heard Drake on his first song 'Miss Me?' ... That's Soulja! That's my bar! He copied my whole f***ing flow! Word for word! Bar for bar!"

"Don't act like I didn't make Drake, don't do that," he added.

Twitter quickly came to the Chicago rapper's side in the support, with one user saying: "How didn't we notice Drake bit Soulja boys flow?"
