During a recent episode of Strahan, Sara & Keke where Megan Thee Stallion participated, she was asked, βWhich Hip Hop star created the catchphrase βDrive The Boatβ and what does it mean?β
Co-host Michael Strahan said, βI think Megan did.β Fellow co-host Keke Palmer responded, βYou got it right. Ding ding ding. Michael, youβre right. Itβs about consumption and sheβs the originator of it.β
Although Megan didnβt take credit for it, she didnβt name Kodak Black as the originator either.
Now, the incarcerated rapper thought it was time to issue a correction
βI Really Wanna Go Bad On Lil One but Iβm Keepin This Shit Pretty,β he caption a clip of the trivia game. β#LetMeDriveTheBoat #FreeTheGoat.β
Kodak used the phrase in the beginning of last year while driving an actual boat, which caused an avalanche of memes. Later in the year, Megan suddenly started to use the same phrase in the lyrics for her single βHot Girl Summerβ featuring Nicki Minaj.
βReal hot girl shit, ayy, I got one or two baes (whoa, whoa)/If you seen it last night, donβt say shit the next day (hey, hey, yeah)/Let me drive the boat, ayy (yeah), kiss me in a Rolls, ayy (yeah, yeah)/It go down on that brown, now we goinβ both ways, ah.β
The Roc Nation raptress has been associated with the catchphrase since then.
