AceShowbiz - Shaquille O'Neal just checked Soulja Boy over his recent claim. After the emcee declared that he is the "first rapper with a $1 million bill", the former professional basketball player said he actually had a custom bill just like that during his rookie season in 1992.
In a clip surfacing online, Big Draco could be seen flexing stacks of cash and said, "First rapper with the $1 million dollar bill." He went on to boast, "They not having a million dollars, man. They not having it."
The video has since been re-shared by DJ Akademiks on Instagram. That's when Shaq offered his two cents by simply writing, "you not the first i was back in 92."
The "Sneaky Link 2.0" spitter has been known for his "firsts" claims. Less than two months prior, he bragged about paying strangers $1,000 to be his "sandwich holder." In a video that showed him standing next to two men, he said, "I'm the first rapper with a sandwich holder. Hold my sandwich, n***a."
The man who held Soulja's food then exclaimed, "That n***a gave me $1,000 to hold a sandwich." He then quipped, "I'ma a sandwich-holding son of a b***h."
In July 2021, Soulja was dragged for saying that he was the first rapper to introduce the clothing brand BAPE (A Bathing Ape). "I was the first rapper on BAPE period," the "Crank That" rapper said when speaking to Complex.
"I understand what they did and it's respectable," he continued. "But as far as the culture, as far as internet, as far as fashion, as far as the streets, the trap, the trenches, the kids and everything that matter, that was all off of the first album."
While Soulja believed that he was the first, Internet users came up with receipts that there were other rappers who sported the brand way before him. "I thought @Pharrell was the first one on the Bape wave for hip-hop," a Twitter user wrote. Similarly, someone else added, "The only reason I know what Bathing Ape is is because of Pharrell."
