On Drake’s “Started From The Bottom” record, the Canadian musician raps, “I wear every single chain even when I’m in the house.” And according to Atlanta, Georgia rapper Soulja Boy, he was the one who inspired that particular lyric from Drake.
Soulja Boy mentioned the lyric from the Young Money singer/rapper during an interview with Vlad TV after he was asked if he always wears his jewelry.
“I wear my jewelry all the time,” Soulja Boy said. “What Drake said in that song? ‘I wear all my chains on even when I’m in the house.’ He got that shit from me. You know what I’m saying? I’m in the house I got four, five chains on, but that just—I don’t know. Cause I never had nothing. I come from the hood. I come from the ghetto. I come from the brokest hood in Atlanta, Georgia on the West Side. I never had shit, so when I made my first million dollars at 17 I said ‘Nigga, I’mma ball out. I want niggas to know that I made it.’ So, this is a statement of me not having nothing and coming to being something. Making nothing to something.”
The “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star later confirmed that he is a member of Rich Gang. He was also asked if he’ll be featured on Lil Wayne’s upcoming album, Tha Carter V.
“I’m in Rich Gang. I’m one of the members of Rich Gang. I ride for Birdman, man. Salute Mack Maine. Y’all already know. Wayne is my brother. That’s what it is. That’s how I’m rocking…We got a lot of songs that we been working on,” he said when asked if he’ll be on Tha Carter V. “We been working for the last couple of years.”
Lastly, Soulja Boy commented on being one of the first rappers to break via the internet, specifically through MySpace and YouTube.
“That’s accurate,” he said. “I don’t know where I read this. I read this somewhere, but they say I’m the first YouTube star ever…Basically, back then I couldn’t get my music to the radio. I was like 16, 15. I couldn’t get my music to the radio. I couldn’t get my music on TV, so I just went to the internet and I uploaded the ‘Crank That’ and ‘Turn My Swag On’ and dancing and just hella shit. And it caught on. I started getting millions of views. I just kept it going. Now I’m CEO of my own record label, SODMG.”

This nigga claimed to have inspired everything. Sit your trash, irrelevant ass down, boy.
Soulja wears chains in the house because they represent slavery and he must pay mortgage to a white man, therefore, Soulja is the modern day Kunta Kinte
nothing but lies
No, it’s nothing but truth.
He meant it as a figure of speech, used in a comparative sense, not to be taken literally you fucktards
Soulja Boy is too dumb to use figure of speech.
Lol.
Shout outs to the slave masters. Without them we wouldn’t have all this ice and tattoos.
That took power away from those slave masters because it shows that their 400 plus years of oppression couldn’t hold us back. Now you can curse a white man out and nothing will happen to you.
That makes no sense at all.
makes sense only to an ignoramus
Anon 2@ You are dumb as shit, Shit, you are dumber than shit. At least, shit makes sense, you are know food is processed in your body, body takes the necessary nutrients, etc….See what I did there.
p.s. As a black man, I don’t need to scream at a white man, I’d rather beat him into submission using better diction.

SJB is delusional but whtvr.. If you listen to these new rapper at all you’d kno that Drake bit the song title from Wiz.. Who said started from the bottom on at Least 4 major songs for him. The biggest pop record he was on was a maroon 5 record and even tho it sucks and ain’t hip hop it had 100mil views on YouTube a year b4 Drake even thought of this song Wiz raps “we started from the bottom…”
That my friends is a gift because I listen to lyrics and hear them & remember them for years. And it’s a curse cuz it makes me look crazy for knowing any part of that bullshit song.. Oh well but point is Drake bit that line and made a whole damn song out of it which is whack now and always!!!
I’d rather listen to fuckin Drake than Soulja Fag, and that’s saying a lot. And just because you come from a broke ass hood doesn’t automatically mean you the hardest nigga on the block.
Trash ass rapper inspired a lyric in a trash ass song. Lol
if solja boy is on carter 5 I will download the cd illegally…..
This faggot azz nigga inspires NOBODY.
Soulja Boy > Kendrick and Drake
at least he is not a manufactured studio artist,he worked for his shit.
Stfu queer.
Obvious troll is trolling.
Beezy is delusional. He’s from Greenville, MS. Why he still fronts like he from ATL is beyond me.
This is where I realize that DX is falling off. 2dopeboyz is premiering these tracks days before DX but yet we get to read about Souljah Boy being inspired by Drake and Tiny defending Iggys fucking Atlanta accent?
DX= Hiphop TMZ
Get off your asses and write about the new PRhyme project..thats kinda a big deal in the hip hop world you goons.
He seems so proud that he inspired the line. Sad…
