Soulja Boy Trashes Lil Yachty and Drake Following 'First Rapper on Twitch' Claim

After Lil Yachty said he was "the first rapper to stream" on Twitch, Soulja Boy has offered an intense response rebuking his claims.

"I ain't gone even cap. Lil Yachty, sit your bitch ass down, n***a," he said during a recent Instagram Live stream. "Drake... Drake. You and Lil Yachty getting on my motherfucking nerves, my n***a. Fuck wrong with y'all pussy ass n***as, man. Lil Yachty, you is a bitch, n***a. Fruity ass n***a, painting your motherfucking toenails and shit. Bitch, you wasn't the first n***a to do shit."

In a comment shared on an Instagram post regarding Yachty's comments, Soulja Boy added, "I'm tired of this n***a."

It's unclear why he dragged Drake into his comments, beyond Yachty's close friendship with the Tioronto rapper. Soulja also famously accused Drake of copying him in 2019. "He copied my whole fucking flow!" he told the Breakfast Club.

Soulja's reaction was sparked by Yachty's claim about streaming.

"For anyone, there was no streaming. Like, Twitch wasn't even popping. I was on Twitch," he said recently, adding that Post Malone was also streaming on Twitch in 2017, but "nobody" else was. "G-Check it, no one was on Twitch before," Yachty added. "I would think that I was there before Post Malone. But it was just us, it was the only rappers. Seven years ago."

According to Twitch Tracker, a website that tracks popular streamers, Soulja Boy has been on the streaming platform since August 2013. Yachty, meanwhile, has held a Twitch account since July 2016. T-Pain, another hip-hop artist with a big presence on Twitch, has been streaming since February 2016. Then there's Logic, who created an account in December 2011.

Of course, Yachty's claims that "Twitch wasn't even popping" in 2017 are also false. Per Fast Company, in February 2014, Twitch was the fourth-largest source of peak internet traffic in the United States. Amazon purchased the company later that year for $970 million.
