<p>By now, ya&#8217;ll know Soulja Boy likes to let it be known he was the first rapper to do a lot of things, and certain things wouldn&#8217;t be possible if it weren&#8217;t for him. Now it looks we can add TikTok to the list because according to him he had a hand in the app&#8217;s popularity.</p>
<p>Soulja was the latest guest to join Raquel Harper on her podcast &#8220;<em><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/03/24/its-tricky-soulja-boy-tiktok-impact/">It&#8217;s Tricky With Raquel Harper</a></em>,&#8221; and they talked about various topics. When asked what artist he would like to work with that he hasn&#8217;t worked with before, Soulja instantly said Jay-Z.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;What&#8217;s going on Jay-Z? You don&#8217;t like to rap with the trenches? Wassup I&#8217;m from the trenches, I need that Roc Nation verse man, you trippin&#8217;. I got Beyoncé doing the &#8216;Crank That Soulja Boy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Raquel then asked how did having Beyoncé do his dance change the game and he said, &#8220;I created TikTok. It wouldn&#8217;t be no TikTok if it weren&#8217;t for Soulja Boy.&#8221; When asked what about TikTok&#8217;s owner, Soulja said, &#8220;What about him? He heard &#8216;Crank That Soulja Boy,&#8217; too, he seen the video too.&#8221;</p>
<p>He then got serious for a moment and said that he really likes TikTok, and spoke about his record &#8220;She Make It Clap,&#8221; which was a viral sound on the app. That contributed to the song&#8217;s success, and there was a dance created to the song, and eventually, it became a challenge, and the success of the song on the app allowed him to get a new record deal, while it also climbed the charts.</p>

<p>Outside of having social media success, Soulja has a lot to be happy about nowadays.
