Billionaire Tycoon "stunts" on Drake

An amusing Twitter exchange between rap star Drake and T. Boone Pickens, the billionaire chairman of BP Capital, has been catching significant attention Thursday — to the tune of more than 24,000 retweets as of 12:15 p.m. ET. The 25-year-old rapper, who ranks number five for social buzz on Mashable‘s mRank Leaderboard for musicians and bands, sent a tweet Wednesday to his 7.4 million followers: “The first million is the hardest.” Pickens, the 330th richest man in the U.S., responded hours later, manually retweeting Drake and adding “The first billion is a helluva lot harder.” Forbes pins Pickens’s net worth at $1.4 billion.

More than 8,200 Twitter accounts retweeted the witty response. Drake’s tweet attracted 15,000-plus retweets.

Drake fired back, saying Pickens “stunted on me heavy.” Stunting means to show off one’s worth or power.

@boonepickens just stunted on me heavy.
