I didn’t buy it ‘cause I said man I want to be the first n***** with a Bugatti and I want everyone to know I got a Bugatti, ‘cause if that had been the case I would have taken this man with this camera, my man Derek G, I would have taken him to the car lot with me. ‘Look y’all I’m getting this ‘Gatti.’ I got it cause I said ‘man I heard they got this car that’s a million dollars. I want it.’ So I went out and I bought… This is mine. This is a hard plate. This is mine. I ain’t put this in a video. I ain’t get no special service or ‘no check me in my Bugatti’ I don’t call myself Bugatti Wayne or nothing like that. Ask the people, I was the first African American rapper with a Bugatti. I don’t know who else says they got one. You know what the people at the place called me? The Barack Obama of Bugatti.”
