Billionaire Corporate Raider Pwns Canadian Rapper On Twitter
A few years ago, it would have been pretty unusual for an aging American billionaire to engage in a public debate with a young Canadian rapper, but thanks to Twitter, all that is changing.
When rapper Drake took to Twitter on Wednesday to boast about his money-making, he was reminded that there are others out there who have a lot more bling than he does -- by no one other than T. Boone Pickens, the billionaire chairman of Bp Capital and famed corporate raider from the 1980s.
“The first million is the hardest,” Drake Tweeted Wednesday.
That prompted a response from Pickens. “The first billion is a helluva lot harder,” he tweeted.
The Toronto-born rapper quickly conceded defeat. Pickens “just stunted on me heavy,” Drake tweeted.
The exchange launched a furor of re-tweets and comments on Twitter.
“Can't wait for Drake's upcoming duet with T-Boone Pickens,” Twitterer Don Sears quipped.
