Rappers are known for occasionally making outlandish claims, but the latest claim from noted rap pioneer Soulja Boy may take the cake for most bizarre, with just a large enough nugget of truth thrown in to really warrant some consideration. In a new interview with Hot 97’s The Breakfast Club, Soulja claimed that Drake blew up by biting his flow, saying: “I taught him everything he knows.” It all started when Soulja Boy questioned why Meek Mill had a bigger comeback than he did in 2018. When host DJ Envy noted that Meek had just been released from prison, Soulja replied, “I was locked up too!” When Charlamagne offered the beef with Drake as a possible reason, Soulja got even more animated, pointing out that Drake lost a battle with Pusha T just months before. “[He’s] the biggest rapper in the world,” Charlamagne protested. After walking away from the table, Soulja replied, “Stop playing like I ain’t teach Drake everything he knows.” Soulja Boy (Big Draco) goes off on The Breakfast Club, says he taught Drake everything he knows. pic.twitter.com/AWQEaOwqkg — HypeHub Music (@HypeHubMusic) January 16, 2019 When his claim was met with incredulous responses by the hosts, Soulja (incorrectly) attributed the success of Drake’s “first” song, “Miss Me,” to his own “What’s Hannenin'” flow. The introductory bars on “Miss Me” actually do reference Soulja’s flow: “Tell me what’s really goin’ on / Drizzy back up in this thing, I’m ready, what’s hannenin’?” It’s the same pattern Soulja used on his own track’s first verse, right down to the elongated “e” in “tell me.” However, Soulja seems to have missed some rather big portions of Drake’s breakout year: “Miss Me” was actually the third single from Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later, following year in which he’d released or featured on nearly a dozen other hits, beginning with his So Far Gone single “Best I Ever Had,” and including Young Money’s compilation single “Bedrock,” Timbaland’s “Say Something,” Trey Songz’ “Invented Sex,” and his own Thank Me Later singles “Over” and “Find Your Love.” Elsewhere in the interview, Soulja also took shots at Drake rival Kanye West, shooting down Kanye’s self-comparisons to Howard Hughes, Steve Jobs, and Walt Disney. “Why you ain’t come out with sh*t then?” he questioned. “I came out with a whole video game console, bruh. I’m the first rapper to do that in history, bruh. You ain’t Walt Disney. You ain’t none of that, bruh.”<doc-sep>The line Soulja Boy referenced is from his 2007 song “What’s Hannenin.’” Drake used the same line on his own song—2010’s “Miss Me.” The “Crank That” artist also sounded off on West. He called him “goofy” for supporting President Donald Trump. “You out here wearing the Trump hat,” he said. “Everybody entitled to their own opinion, but you know what you doing, bruh. And that [expletive] not funny.” His comments set Twitter ablaze. Many agreed with some of his statements and said he did play a role in paving the way for lots of emcees. Soulja Boy may be a clown but he is a legend. He definitely paved the way for a lot of rappers.

During his sit down with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God, the Marriage Bootcamp star made it clear he wanted credit for his contributions, and even accused Drake of stealing his style of rapping. Charlamagne “Don’t act like I didn’t make Drake, don’t do that.” Whenreferred to Drake as the biggest rapper in the game, Soulja Boy literally leapt out of his seat. “Drakeeeee,” he exclaimed, adding that the Toronto rapper couldn’t be as big as hip-hop fans think because he “got bodied by Pusha T.” “Stop playing with me like I ain’t teach Drake everything he knows,” he continued. “Y’all ain’t heard Drake on his first song ‘Miss Me? '” he asked before imitating the track from Drake’s 2010 debut You Can Thank Me Later in an effort to prove his point. “That’s Soulja! That’s my bar! He copied my whole fu-king flow! Word for word! Bar for bar!” Soulja pointed out.Charlamagne acknowledged Soulja’s point, noticing a similarity between the flow used in the opening bars of “Miss Me” and Soulja Boy’s 2008 collaboration with Sammie “Kiss Me Thru The Phone,” adding that his mind was “blown.” But it was really Soulja’s 2007 song “What’s Hannenin'” that clearly inspired Drake. Black Twitter saw his point as many sided with Soulja Boy, citing Drake’s previous lyrical transgressions as evidence. Watch the full interview below to see how Soulja shaded not only Drake, but Tyga and even Kanye West.<doc-sep>Soulja Boy is throwing shade and taking names. The 28-year-old rapper stopped by The Breakfast Club radio show and called out Drake, Kanye West, Tyga and others. Following the radio appearance, the "Crank That" rapper stopped by ET Live to discuss his biggest bombshells and claims from the nearly hour-long interview. One of the biggest claims he made in the interview came when he said that he taught Drake everything he knows. While speaking to ET Live, Soulja stuck to that statement. "You know, I taught Drake everything he knows. Come on, man. Stop playing with me. You know that," he said. "If you listen to Drake's first single... he copied my whole bar word for word and my cadence and my flow from my song. Can I just get my credit?" While Soulja considers Drake his "homie" and thinks his statements are just "fun and games," he did caution that "the proof is in the pudding." "I released my song in 2006 and he released his song in 2011 and he copied it word for word, bar for bar. I taught Drake everything he knows," he said. "... I love Drake though, man. Everybody gets inspired. They say copying is a form of flattery, man. It's OK." Also during the Breakfast Club interview, Soulja called Kanye "goofy" for wearing a hat in support of President Donald Trump. He reiterated that while speaking with ET, while also bringing up an old Kanye moment that gives him pause. "I would love to get back in the studio with Kanye, but Kanye, you gotta tighten up. I don't like what you've been doing," he said. "You run on the stage and you take the mic from Taylor Swift. How disrespectful are you?... Do you know what I would've done if he did that to my little sister? She's having an acceptance speech for an award and you disrespectfully grab the mic out of her hand? What is wrong with you, Kanye? I don't want to make no music with you right now until you tighten up. You're disrespecting our culture. You're wearing a Trump had. You know what you're doing." Additionally, in the radio chat, Soulja criticized Kanye for constantly calling out Drake on Twitter, his fashion deals and called him "lame." All of that, Soulja told ET, likely dates back to one moment between the two rappers when Soulja was just 16. "I love Kanye. The proof is in the pudding. I'm the reason why Kanye is stuck up and he acts cocky," he claimed. "Because when I was a 16-year-old kid and I had the number one song in the world with 'Crank That,' I didn't know who Kanye was. My manager tried to introduce me to him and I slammed the van door in his face saying, 'Get out of my face.' And ever since then he's just been so arrogant." "If I really did make Kanye act like that then I apologize," he added. But I love Kanye... There's no beef." One of Soulja's other targets during his radio sit-down was Tyga, who, the hosts argued, had the biggest comeback of 2018. Soulja took offense to that, so much so that he even criticized Tyga's relationship with Kylie Jenner. "Tyga had a record, but what else did he have? Who in the industry hasn't had a number one record?" he said on The Breakfast Club. "... Tyga! Tyga? Tyga? This n***a sitting right here talking about Tyga? The n***a that lost his b**ch to Travis Scott? Him? He had the biggest comeback? 'Cause of what? He did a record with Nicki Minaj?" Despite all of this, Soulja claimed that he "can't wait" to work with him. "I love Tyga. I can't wait to do a record with him," he said. "But at the same time, you can't say he had the biggest comeback." On ET Live, the rapper once more shared his feelings about Tyga's so-called comeback. "Yo, people are saying Tyga had the biggest comeback. Tyga? Tyga! Lime in the coconut Tyga? Yo, get out of here," he said. "Soulja Boy had the biggest comeback of 2018 and that's a fact. In 2019, I'm gonna have one of the biggest albums and one of the biggest movies that's releasing in AMC theaters." Soulja also took aim at the rap world as a whole, claiming on the radio: "I started this internet. I started the wave. I'm the reason why these new artists are getting signed. I'm the reason why there's Lil Pump. I discovered Chief Keef... I was the first artist on social media. I was the first artist on YouTube... I'm the reason there's streaming right now." Soulja's assertion was only made stronger on ET Live when he said that he started "this rap game. I started the internet. I started music streaming." "Drake and Kanye, y'all gotta move out of the way," he added on ET Live. "I'm younger than y'all. I look better than y'all. I got more swag than y'all. And it just is what it is. I'm here to take it. I'm the new best rapper. I'm sorry. I'm the best rapper in the game."

Soulja Boy Just Accused Drake Of “Copying His Flow” In A Bizarre New Interview In an explosive new interview on The Breakfast Club, the 'Crank That' rapper baffled listeners as he took aim at Drake and accused him of copying his style. Soulja Boy just dragged Drake for "copying his flow" and claims he taught the Canadian rapper "everything he knows." The 28-year-old rapper, who rose to fame back in 2007 with his smash hit debut 'Crank That', took aim at Drake in a new interview with The Breakfast Club. After show host Charlamagne Tha God referred to the 'In My Feelings' chart-topper as the "biggest rapper in the world," Soulja stood up from his chair in disagreement. "Drake? The n***a that got bodied by Pusha T?" he questioned. "The n***a that's hiding his kid from the world but his world ain't hiding from the kid?" "You n***as better stop playing with me. Stop telling me like I ain't teach Drake everything he know," he said after referring to Drake as “Aubrey Graham in the wheelchair,” referring to his former character in teen show Degrassi. The way Soulja Boy said “DRAAAAAAAAAKE??!?? DRAKE?? ?” gonna be a forever meme 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/a5bwCalDzu — Tyler Conway (@jtylerconway) January 16, 2019 Soulja then claimed Drake stole the bars from his 2008 hit 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone' for his 2010 track 'Miss Me.' “You didn’t hear Drake on his first song, ‘Tell me what’s really going on. Drizzy Drake back in this thing. I’m ready. What’s happening?’” he said. “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." Elsewhere during the interview, which has since gone viral, Soulja claimed to have influenced “the new generation” of rappers and took credit for their use of social media. "Everybody doing what I did. They laughed at me, they said I killed hip-hop, now they’re doing exactly what I did," he said. "I’m the reason y’all are doing this, I’m the reason all these artists have social media. Y’all should thank me. Every artist in the game, all y’all record labels, y’all owe me 5 percent bro.” Drake is yet to respond to Soulja's comments.
