If you're going to declare yourself bigger than one of the biggest rappers in the world, where else would you do it but Twitter?

Future, or Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, went on somewhat of a Twitter rampage over the weekend and appointed himself bigger than Jay-Z.

"In the streets im bigger then jigga. Ima run me a B up easy," the rapper tweeted.

"Everything I do legendary or it want get done. Tuh"

He also referenced Kanye West in his tweet-spree: "I'm the only one can get YE to pull up whenever wherever..tuh."

His comments about 'running up a B' is assumed to be in relation to Jay-Z's billionaire status, which he hit in 2019.

It seems Future is pretty confident he'll hit the same status quicker and easier than Jay-Z did.

Future confirmed this with: "100M's not the goal anymore."

His comments have sparked debate across Twitter, with a large portion of comments not believing his peacocking, but some agreeing with him.

One user said: "Love you Future but you ain't even as big as Wayne."

Another said: "Nobody no rapper in this life time can beat Jay z at this point I'm not saying that cause I'm from Brooklyn."

Some were even more savage, with one making reference to Future's ex Ciara: "Even in ATL, Ciara might be bigger than you!! How about that??"

Future and Ciara were engaged from October 2013 to August 2014, but broke off their engagement due to Future's alleged infidelities.

The pair share a son - Future Zahir.

But some Twitter users actually supported Future's view.

The general consensus from Future's supporters was that while Jay-Z may have been an absolute powerhouse back in the day, he's lost some of his edge and people aren't into him like they used to be.

One said: "I never hear anyone in the streets listening to jay z and I'm in New York think he has a point."

Also, I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't point out Future's tweet before this all kicked off, in reference to Will and Jaida Smith's loose interviews about their relationships.

"I RATHER HANG WITH JADA'" he tweeted.

Same Future, same.
