At this point, is there anything Soulja Boy wasn’t the “first” to do?
The self-proclaimed Hip Hop pioneer set the record straight on yet another topic on Monday (January 31) when he fact-checked Lil B over a statement about who the first rapper on Twitter was.
It all started when the Based God showed love to Wiz Khalifa for being early to embrace the social media platform, writing, “Wiz Khalifa was the 1st rapper I seen on twitter this was during MySpace he was already huge on twitter! – Lil B.”
Wiz responded in kind by tweeting, “Love you bro. Still remember Vegas when black and yellow first came out.”
However, Soulja Boy wasn’t about to let Wiz Khalifa get all the plaudits for being the first rapper with a Twitter account, especially with receipts to prove otherwise.
“You must be high as Fuk I was the first rapper on twitter B stop that,” the pedantic SODMG leader barked in response to Lil B.
Big Draco then pulled out screenshots of his and Wiz’s respective Twitter bios, revealing he joined the platform in October 2008 while the Pittsburgh native created his account almost six months later in February 2009.
“Check the dates,” he ordered the Bay Area rapper. “Why u just cap like that?”
Never one to take himself too seriously, Lil B owned up to his mistake and made sure his 1.2 million followers knew that Soulja Boy was, indeed, the “first” rapper on Twitter.
“Soulja don’t lie I see you bra!!!!!! Big homie !!!!!! – Lil B,” he replied, before writing, “@souljaboy is the big homie family and 1st rapper period! – Lil B.”
Both colorful characters with their own cult followings, Lil B and Soulja Boy have collaborated numerous times in the past, including for the joint mixtape Pretty Boy Millionaires back in 2010. Most recently, the Based God appeared on “Bay to the A” from Soulja’s 2021 project Soulja World.

Being the first rapper on Twitter is far from the only thing Soulja Boy lays claim to. Earlier this month, the “Crank That” star attempted to take credit for kickstarting the “money challenge” trend that has been flooding Instagram lately — before LL COOL J did some fact-checking of his own.
He said first “rapper” is Soulja boy a rapper?
Up for debate
Nobody cares
We are taking about real established rappers. Not child fluke acts. Soulja Boy ruined hip hop and he stole it all from the show stoppers of atl. Unoriginal too 🙁
I wish twitter would go away permanently. Or go back to the days almost a decade ago when only wrestling fans used it. I remember when Michael Cole would constantly talk about twitter hastags while he was xalling matches. I used to be like what is the point of this twitter BS ? I still have no clue WTF is the purpose of a hashtag.
Hashtags are the primary weapons of the cancel culture cult.
Even Soulja himself wasn’t the first rapper on Twitter. Snoop joined Twitter a year or two before Soulja did.
That’s akin to arguing who was the first to arrive at a high school party. Nobody gives a fuck. Though I must say, Solja Boy has made quite a “career” for himself, doing what I don’t know, for only having 1 (terrible) hit song.
this dude be lookin like a fuckin gremlin
