However, Wale’s management is pointing out that DC rapper was the first to use 8 time gold medalist and apparent Young Joc fan Michael Phelps on a demo track with Raheem DeVaughn in 2005. Granted this was after Phelps won gold in Athens, but considering the fact that he never really entered into the American conciousness until this year means that Wale gets shine for yet another obscure sports refrence.
