Soulja Boy Thinks His Triple‑Drop Might Have Helped Inspire Drake’s Three‑Album Day


Share this post

Soulja Boy is once again reminding everyone he was early to a trend, this time in the way artists flood the timeline with music. After Drake released three projects in 24 hours, Big Draco jumped online to point out that he dropped three albums in a single day back in 2009 and claimed he made that kind of release strategy history first.

In a recent post, he highlighted that earlier triple‑drop and argued that people have short memories when it comes to who really pushed extreme output in the mixtape era, pointing fans to coverage of his claim that he was the first rapper to drop three albums in one day here. He stopped short of outright accusing Drake of copying him, but he definitely suggested that the move felt familiar if you’d been paying attention to his catalogue back then.

The internet, naturally, went into fact‑check mode, with fans resurfacing old tracklists, dates and other examples of artists who’ve done multi‑project dumps before. Some pointed out that other Southern rappers had also experimented with dropping several tapes at once, which muddies any one‑person claim to inventing the format and turns it into more of a shared lineage than a single light‑bulb moment.

Still, Soulja’s larger point is about recognition: he wants credit for being part of the early wave of hyper‑online, high‑volume releases that paved the way for the kind of headline‑grabbing drops we see now, a point he doubled down on in another recap of his three‑project day here.
