The Truth Behind Airplane Claim: Ludacris vs. Soulja Boy, In the competitive world of hip-hop, where claims of firsts and groundbreaking achievements are common, a recent exchange between Ludacris and Soulja Boy has captured the attention of fans and media alike. Soulja Boy, known for his braggadocious style, recently asserted in an Instagram video that he was the “first rapper to fly an airplane.” This claim quickly drew a response from Ludacris, who reminded everyone of his own aviation experiences.
On October 12, 2024, Soulja Boy shared a video showing himself in an airplane cockpit, confidently declaring his title as the first rap pilot. However, he seemed to overlook historical references such as Snoop Dogg’s role as Captain Mack in the 2004 film Soul Plane, which already placed a rapper in an aviation context. Ludacris, who has been pursuing his pilot license since 2021, responded with a simple yet telling emoji in the comments section of Soulja Boy’s post, signaling that the claim might not hold up under scrutiny.

Ludacris has been vocal about his flying aspirations. In June 2021, he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, discussing his ownership of an aircraft while clarifying that he did not yet have a pilot’s license. He humorously described his initial flying experience as a “nickel ride,” a term from military aviation denoting a short or introductory flight. Despite his lack of formal certification at that time, Ludacris expressed intent to obtain his license in the future.
Following Ludacris’s subtle correction, Soulja Boy acknowledged the oversight and humorously conceded the title to Ludacris. In a follow-up message, he stated, “I just saw your video; you did it first,” adding a gold medal emoji to signify respect for Ludacris’s achievements.
Soulja Boy’s claim may have initially garnered attention, Ludacris’s established history with aviation serves as a reminder that in hip-hop—where every claim is scrutinized—authenticity is key. As both artists continue to navigate their careers, this playful rivalry adds another layer to their public personas and emphasizes the importance of factual representation in an industry built on reputation.
