Soulja Boy is stepping back from “cranking it,” and pivoting to an entirely new field this week: selling his own video game consoles and refurbished tech accessories.

Soulja has been a gamer his entire life, so it’s only natural for him to want to launch his own systems, and this week, he’s done just that. He now sells two different consoles on his website SouljaWatch.com, both of which bear his namesake: the SouljaGame Console and the SouljaGame Handheld.

Soulja Boy claims that the console is capable of running PlayStation, NeoGeo, PC, Sega, Game Boy Advance, and NES games, as well as “SouljaGames.” The website states that the console comes with 800 games preinstalled onto the console. According to the site, the handheld runs Switch, 3DS, Vita, NeoGeo, Game Boy Color and Advance games, and it will have 3,000 games built into the system.

That’s a lot of games, and it seems unlikely that the system will actually run licensed copies of them, especially from companies like Nintendo. More likely than not, the systems will be running ROMs, which could be troublesome for Soulja in the future. Nintendo, especially, has been taking aim at ROMs of its games, suing the LoveROMS and LoveRetro sites for “brazen and mass-scale infringement of Nintendo’s intellectual property rights.”

Soulja Boy’s interest in video games isn’t anything new. Shortly after his 2007 hit took middle school dances across the country by storm, he was uploading videos on YouTube into a series he called “Soulja Boy Video Game Blog.”

“I’m challenging anyone and EVERYONE who think they can touch me on Gears, Halo 3, or C.O.D 4. Find me on Live and get you some!,” the description of the first video reads. “Don’t let the rapping fool you. Prepare to be PWND by Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em.”

But if the video game business withers, Soulja has another hustle to keep him busy: his website also sells several other products (which are all on sale right now). SouljaPods, SouljaHeadphones, SouljaWatches, SouljaPhones, and the SouljaPad are all currently available for purchase.
