Hip Hop Fact Checker: Big Daddy Kane

Artist: Big Daddy Kane

Claim: A champ like Tyson, a Captain like Kirk, no
Employee of the Month, cause yo, I do work. (From "I Get The Job Done" )

Breakdown: We poured over the boxing groups WBA, WBC, and IBF rankings from the bulk of Kane’s career, and there is no mention of either ‘Big Daddy Kane’ or ‘Antonio Hardy’ as holding any championship belts in any weight class. However, he might’ve held a lesser belt, but given he wasn’t ranked by the three major federations, that is highly unlikely.

Next we contacted the local Star Trek aficionados who run Star Con and they checked the Star Federation’s logs to see if Big Daddy Kane was a Captain of any of the Enterprise's counterpart ships. No matches were found. He received no commission from the Starfleet Academy that would be required of any Captain.

As far as BDK being an ‘Employee of the Month’, this is hard to verify, but given that he was a full fledged rap star, it would be hard for him to hold any type of job in which he could garner such an accolade.

Conclusion: Big Daddy Kane was neither a champion, a captain, nor an employee of the month.
