Famous rapper Soulja Boy might just be a bitcoin hodler.
The 28-year-old musician, perhaps best-known for his debut single âCrank That,â debuted a new song about bitcoin in his latest album âYoung Draco.â Simply titled âBitcoin,â the track describes how Soulja âmade [$1] million off of bitcoinsâ after seemingly buying in at $6,000.
âMan, this going crazy the cryptocurrency man,â the lyrics begin, continuing:
âI made 100 racks off of bitcoin (bit)
You can catch me trapping with the bitcoin (bit)
You can catch me running up the bitcoin (yeah)
I spent 6,000 on the bitcoinâ
(Urban Dictionary defines â100 racksâ as being $100,000.)
Soulja later indicates he may be paying bands using cryptocurrency, or at least his gains from his holdings (âIâm doing shows [?] feeling me ⦠running up the bands on cryptocurrencyâ), before referencing sending transactions through PayPal and the Cash App.
He also references owning litecoins, though he does not provide any firm details in the song about his holdings.
Soulja is the latest musician to reference cryptocurrencies, with Mims, Snoop Dogg, 3lau and Young Dirty Bastard all getting involved in the space through various projects or performances.
Most recently, bitcoin even played a cameo on Eminemâs new album âKamikaze.â
Royce Da 5â9â², a guest artist on âNot Alike,â notes that ânow everybody doing bitcoinâ on the track â he wasnât kidding.
