We're told the birthday boy is dropping an additional $20 million to pimp out his ride with all sorts of cool stuff ... like 12 custom Italian leather seats, flat screen TVs, 4 liquor bars, a special travertine tiled floor, and Brazilian hardwood cabinets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told S.B. is also gutting the in-flight lavatory -- and replacing it with a giant, LUXURIOUS bathroom. Oh, he's also giving the jet a custom paint job ... to include his logo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if that's not enough for someone's 21st -- we're told Soulja's also spending $300,000 to throw himself a blowout birthday party at a Miami nightclub tonight ... and Dwight Howard, Bow Wow, and Sean Kingston are all expected to attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kids these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;style&gt;&lt;!--\n\tdiv.tweetbox{\n\t\twidth: 560px;\n\t\tfont-size: 12px;\n\t\tborder:1px solid #acacac;\n\t\tbackground-color: #d9ecf5;\n\t\tfont-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;\n\t}\n\t.tweetbox img{\n\t\tfloat:left;\n\t\twidth:48px;\n\t\theight:48px;\n\t\toverflow:hidden;\n\t\tdisplay:block;\n\t}\n\t.tweetbox span, .tweetbox p {\n\t\tdisplay: block;\n\t\tmargin-left: 70px;\n\t}\n\t.tweetbox span {\n\t\tfont-size: 16px;\n\t\tcolor:#0083bd;\n\t\tmargin-bottom: 5px;\n\t}\n\t.tweet-item {\n\t\tpadding: 8px 8px;\n\t\tborder-top: 1px solid #acacac;\n\t}\n\t.tweet-item:first-child {\n\t\tborder-top: none;\n\t}\n--&gt;&lt;/style&gt;\n&lt;!--INFOLINKS_OFF--&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"hideplaybutton\"&gt;&lt;img style=\"margin: 0px 0px -2px 0px;\" alt=\"tmz-top-comments-banner\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/07/29/0729-topcomments.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"hideplaybutton tweetbox\"&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"tweet-item group\"&gt;\n\t\t&lt;img alt=\"USArmy\" src=\"http://ll-assets.tmz.com/www.tmz.com/default/cache/images/no-avatar.v2011_04_13_111411.png\" class=\"tweeter-icon\" height=\"48\" width=\"48\" /&gt;\n\t\t&lt;span class=\"tweeter\"&gt;USArmy&lt;/span&gt;\n&lt;p class=\"tweet\"&gt;He has every right to throw his money away but when he goes broke please don't bore us with tear jerking stories. &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"tweet-item group\"&gt;\n\t\t&lt;img alt=\"Mike\" src=\"http://ll-assets.tmz.com/www.tmz.com/default/cache/images/no-avatar.v2011_04_13_111411.png\" class=\"tweeter-icon\" height=\"48\" width=\"48\" /&gt;\n\t\t&lt;span class=\"tweeter\"&gt;Mike&lt;/span&gt;\n&lt;p class=\"tweet\"&gt;\nSoulja Boy probably put 5% down, with no intention on making any more payments.
