Billionaire T. Boone Pickens Shames Drake On Twitter
By Emily Zemler • Jun 01, 2012 at 3:03 PM
.Oh, rappers. Always talking about money, whether it’s in their lyrics or on the Internet. But it turns out that there are people out there who are richer than famous rapper and those people will be quick to point that out. Earlier this week Drake started to talk money on Twitter and was quick to be shot down by billionaire oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens.
.Drake tweeted on Wednesday, “The first million is the hardest.” (We’re guessing Drake has more than just one million at this point.) Pickens responded, writing, “The first billion is a helluva lot harder. RT @Drake: the first million is the hardest.”
.Drake later offered his own response, “@boonepickens just stunted on me heavy.” The exchanged has since gone viral and Pickens’ spokesman Jay Rosser told The Daily, “Drake gained 30 new fans in Boone’s office. We’re very pleased and grateful for how he received the tweet.”
.
.Many of the stories about this back and forth point out that Drake is clearly wealthy – and frequently flaunts it. The Daily notes that the rapper recently “custom designed a $5,000 arctic fox fur, gold-hardware bomber jacket” and that he told GQ that his wealth makes it “really difficult for me to find something that makes me feel small.” So, we guess it’s nice that Drake can joke about his money but also why is everyone gravitating toward this news so heavily? Why are we so interested in how much money Drake has and how he actually doesn’t have as much as some people? What do you think? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
