Soulja Boy made some bold claims during a recent interview with The Breakfast Club. Among them, he said he taught Drake “everything he knows” and basically invented the viral internet star. But he wasn’t entirely out of his mind.
In fact, countless people backed Big Soulja up on Twitter, demanding others give Soulja credit where credit is due.
After all, the Atlanta-bred rapper spawned the biggest dance craze since 1995’s “Macarena” when he dropped an instructional YouTube video on how to do the Soulja Boy Dance to “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” in 2007.
For the past 12 years, Soulja has maintained his online presence and continues to stir the pot. In addition to The Breakfast Club interview, he recently flipped out after several social media users accused him on being on crack following a car accident.
