Soulja Boy really birthed everyone’s career.
“If it wasn’t for Soulja Boy, man, A$AP Rocky probably wouldn’t be around, man,” he admitted. “It’s not too far-fetched as me saying ‘If it wasn’t for Kanye and Pharrell I wouldn’t be able to do what I do in fashion and navigate and learn from their mistakes’ and what not.”
He added, “He kinda made a formula. He was the first to do it and it work for him and since then I think that kind of became a basis of a standard way to make it.”
Unfortunately, Rocky hasn’t had the chance to tell that to Soulja Boy personally, he did speak on having the viral sensation at 2019 Yams Day.
“He showed up to Yams day and unfortunately, I was in the back cursin’ out some sound people,” he recalled. “By the time he got off stage — you know, A$AP Ferg invited him. So shout outs to Soulja, I’m so thankful he came to show love.”
