Soulja Boy ignited a social media frenzy after he appeared on The Breakfast Club earlier this month and claimed he taught Drake everything he knows. But a daughter of the late Shawty Lo, Sakharia Searcy, has something to say about that.
On Tuesday (January 22), Searcy hopped on Instagram and insisted Big Soulja needs to acknowledge the path her father laid out for his successors.
“@souljaboy clearly you’re delusional af. give my daddy his credit he been started that ‘wave,'” she captioned a medley video.
Searcy says Shawty Lo’s 2005 single “I’m Da Man” gave birth to Soulja Boy’s 2006 cut “What’s Hannenin” and ultimately, Drake’s 2010 single, “Miss Me.”
During his interview with The Breakfast Club, Young Draco claimed Drake stole his style.
“Stop playin’ like I didn’t teach Drake everything he knows [starts singing Drake’s ‘Miss Me’],” he said. “That’s Souja! That’s my bar! He copy my whole fuckin’ flow! Word-for-word. Bar-for-bar. Don’t act like I didn’t make Drake. Don’t do that.”
Unsurprisingly, many of his fans and peers backed up him and Soulja Boy has been on a media rampage ever since. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Searcy is one of 11 children born to the late Shawty Lo. The Atlanta-bred rapper died in August 2016 after injuries sustained in a single-car accident on the ATL’s I-285 freeway. He was 40 years old.
Stop it please. I love shawty lo and he was a super artist but why everyone wasn’t credit like they get some type of achievement or some shit. At the end of the day it’s just music
To her point…Soulja fronted on Drake about a line he said he got from him BUT Soulja got the line from Shawty Lo! So all the credit clowns were trying to give Soulja Boy actually belongs to Shawty Lo
Shawty was a legend but this bitch is missing the point
these idiots think their originals wall e Idiocracy nothing to see here
Wrf are these idiots talking bout? How did either one of them influence drake? Im at a loss here
dont be a stan every hip hop fan knows thats whats happenin is a shawty lo phrase and that D4L had a song called that before drake got in that wheel chair. if you only listen to rap because of drake dont speak. drake stole from rappin 4 tay bar for bar too and only got away with it because 4 tay is a smoker and took crack money instead of suing his ass
