Big Boi Says “They Got Me” – Talks About the Fake Jordans (Video)

Here is it is folks, straight from the man himself, Big Boi. Our Atlanta homie MauriceGarland hit us up yesterday after he spoke with Big Boi about the Jordans he wore to Sneaker Pimps ATL. Maurice exclusively told us Big Boi saw him and said “You got something you wanna ask me about my shoes?”. MG replied and said “Yeah, were they real?”. Mr. Patton explains what happen and how he got the shoes. CHECK IT OUT and see for yourself.

Big ups to MauriceGarland and Outkast is still the ish!

This should put an end to everything you wanted to know.

  16. Comment by Converse King June 2nd, 2009 at 5:25 pm

    He seemed a little upset about it. But how upset can he be? He’s a millionaire!

  17. At least he manned-up and said he got got (is this really true?). At the same time he also admitted he could care less about the sneaker game. I question that because if you don’t care why brag about your 400 plus collection and why did you spend $500 a piece for 4 pairs of J’s. I really wish I could ask him so more questions but he is a millionaire and that car is fire.

  18. $500 a piece for fakes, what site did he go to?

  19. Comment by varski-203 June 2nd, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    There’s a difference between him and you. sneaker lovers have a genuine love for sneakers,big boi has a love for cars etc,etc. I remember seeing B.B. in his lexus ls back in 95.
    His whip game always been up to par. Shout out to outkast and all the atlanta vets from the 90’s era.

  20. Comment by marco anchante June 2nd, 2009 at 5:54 pm

    jajja they got you asshole

  21. Comment by NOBU92 June 2nd, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    ok well varski big boi says he is like us and says he is a sneaker lover so him not being one isnt an excuse since he says he is
    but respect to him for being a man and admitting it
    i still got issues though for the fact that he pretends to have such a mean game when he doesn’t even know whats real,that will never change
    hes already lost his credibility with sneakers to me
    and yeh outkast is still awesome i still got respect for the guy

  22. Comment by ATL_Dunk-Junkie June 2nd, 2009 at 6:45 pm

    big ups to Big Boi for addressing the situation in a proper manner and bringing out a legit pair of heat….still the man!!!!

  23. “They got me folk’”!!!! LOL Did they?!?! Did they really!?! That’s why I hate dumb rich niggaz!!!

  24. Naw Pat!!! No rest for the wicked! He flexed too hard!!!

  25. Comment by MisterMcFly23 June 2nd, 2009 at 7:03 pm

    so are we to assume the same thing about the kix from the speakerboxx album!?!?

  26. Comment by DSMITH June 2nd, 2009 at 7:10 pm

    What’s up wit homeboy’s teeth though…my favorite part is when he threw his shoe on the ground…cuz I don’t f@ck wit Jordans. I got a feeling his closet is bobo’d down though after that explanation…and the speakerboxx joint.

  27. Comment by lil ' O June 2nd, 2009 at 8:10 pm

    All of us sneakerhead just got ether’d by Big Boi “Fuck the shoes, look at the car.” FML.

  28. Comment by Na-Show June 2nd, 2009 at 8:27 pm

    Hey to all you who think this is funny. I don’t beleive “they got him” There are rules in the sneaker world. 10 years ago the guy wasn’t a kid, he was a full grown man. If you love sneakers I bet 10 years ago you all knew what sneakers were legit and what was fake. Just because he is famous and everybody noticed his fakes and then he admits it, that does not redeam him. If he is not in to the sneaker game, why invite gim to a show made for sneakerheads.

  29. ^^^^ well said homie, he was still old as fuck 10 years ago. He has never been or will be a true sneaker head. It’s on thing to say u don’t care if u have fakes or just honeslty didn’t know. But it’s a whole nother thing to be lik, yea they is fake but look at my car???!!! Complete jackass, never liked him at all and like him less now. Fake as his shows I.m.o. Stop giving people passes and call there asses out. Drake should be next for those fake 5’s he wore. So should Rick Ross, Khaled and every other fake as SneakerHead!!! If this shut was ingrained in you like it is to me, and u slept, ate, though about, and anything else sneaker related as me this shit would bother u as much as it does me. I HATE FAKES AND ANYONE WHO KNIWS THERE WEARING FAKES AND DOSENT CARE AND MIS-REPRESENTS US!!!

  30. ‘Big Boi that is a good look for facing the “Music”

    P.S

    Don’t let it happen again

  31. Comment by yungmoneydjt June 2nd, 2009 at 8:57 pm

    still dont get a pass from me… if he didnt claim to be a sneakerhead and all calim to have been collectin since he could scrap up tip money then it wouldnt bother me, id move on. But he perpetratin acting like he a sneakerhead and he’s not, he just buys anything with a jumpman on it, i gave him a freebie with the speakerboxxx album but now he just gettin on my nerves.
    but the car line did make me laugh, even if i felt like it was messed up cuz it seems like he has no remorse for straight up misrepresentin and disrespectin all sneakerheads on the globe.

    Don’t Believe That.

  33. Comment by Wavez June 2nd, 2009 at 9:24 pm

    SMH…yall losin respect over some damn shoes…dude said “they got me” WTF more do you want him to say? “im sorry, im not a tru sneakerhead” get the fuck outta here…anyway props to big boi…i see em wit them 5s!
    BTW…drake 5s arent fake they custom….i got proof.

  34. lawlz at all these “Real Sneakerheads blogger”

  35. Finally we can put this to rest.
    atleast he hasn’t been confirmed
    for stealing rhymes…he stays true
    to his culture and thats rap;
    I forgive him of his shameful deed bc the shoe game
    isn’t everyones thing but Theshoegame.com is!

  36. Comment by Lo$w@rd g June 2nd, 2009 at 10:16 pm

    Fuck the car look at the shoes

  37. Comment by T-Rav June 2nd, 2009 at 10:18 pm

    I’ll give him a pass. He seems like a good guy and was honest in answering the questions. That’s pretty embarrassing for him to have shown off fakes that he thought were “space jams,” but outside of the sneaker world, no one could care less.

  38. word. dont brag about your fake shoes…. chump!

  39. Teflon Don send me your email, that truth is it’s real and I got the pics to prove it. My email is sneakerfreaker06@yahoo.com hit me up there and I can provide the pics for everyone to see or just do a simple google search and see them for yourself.

  40. honest dude, cant even be mad at him.

  41. Comment by SPRADLEY8 June 2nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    yeah, “fukk dat. fukk da shoes look at da car mf”. he get respect 4 no makin a trail of lies n just sayin he bought a favorite childhood shoe

  43. Comment by SPRADLEY8 June 2nd, 2009 at 11:01 pm

    sorry 4 stackin comments but this is 4 “Na-Show” and “Sneakernerd-RICO”. he didnt say he first seen da shoes 10 years ago. he said he bought em 10 years ago but first seen the actual 8s when he was a kid

  44. Comment by FlyySkyy June 2nd, 2009 at 11:10 pm

    lol that was a real nigga…
    haha
    fuck da shoes, look at the car. i dont walk, i drive. lmao

  45. Comment by Kerry the Seller June 2nd, 2009 at 11:20 pm

    I HAVE NEVER WORE A FAKE IN MY LIFE…
    I ALWAYS KNEW WHAT WAS UP, all “TRUE BLUE” sneakerheads should.

  46. Comment by macabrecrown666 June 2nd, 2009 at 11:54 pm

    At least he owned up to it. I doubt most people who mistakenly buy fakes make a video admitting it afterwards.

  47. Comment by chevyboy June 3rd, 2009 at 12:05 am

    ^Sneakernerd-RICO-Get a life! If all you do is eat, sleep, and shit sneakers, then something is SERIOUSLY wrong.
    ^yungmoneydjt-More than half the people in the comments section probably could include themselves as on of the people that buys shit just because it has a jumpman on it. Stop playin yourself.
    The man messed up people…GET OVER IT! Sorry for the harsh language G-Roc, but I can’t just sit back and let everybody disrespect my boy like that. That really pisses me off. Yeah I was disappointed when I saw that, but it clearly was an honest mistake made by Big Boi. He fessed up to it, so now we can drop the subject.

  48. 1st he wears fakes
    then he lies and says they cost him 500$ a peice no web site back then ever sold fakes for 500$ a pop lmao

  49. a real “sneakerhead” would know if he buying legit shoes or not. no honest mistakes… thats like people coming in my store asking me if we have those new black and orange and limegreen fives… smh

  50. Comment by varski-203 June 3rd, 2009 at 12:16 am

    Honestly big boi is my age and some of ya’ll are taking this to the extreme.

    I can understand a lil bit because it was like in high school when you could spot the dudes wearing fake polo/nautica/hilfiger/girbaud or guess.

    32 aint “old as f**k” sneakerhead-rico.

    big boi could careless about a shoe because he has grown man responsibilities and collecting might be something he does for fun.

    remember some of these celebs pay people to shop for them or they get shit for free,you feel me so he doesn’t have the time to check every sneaker.

    my family and responsibilities come first,everything else is leisure time.

    Again,some of ya’ll are taking this way to serious but I can understand because I would go hard with the ralph lauren in the early to mid 90’s but now looking back at it ,it wasn’t that serious and as you mature and get older you will say the samething.
    one.

  51. That’s mad funny. F&%$ the shoes, look at the car!!!!!
    You want to know what’s funnier than that????? The cat that sold him those Js for $500 a piece is the one that I respect. Big Boi probably bought that guy a Phantom too!!!!!!
    A lot of you guys need to use spell check or go spend $500 on some grammar classes or something. I would assume that most of us that are blogging on here are above the age of five. You guys can spot a fake J from a mile away but can’t spot an incomplete sentence or a mispelled word. LOLOLOL

  52. Comment by yungmoneydjt June 3rd, 2009 at 12:28 am

    ChevyBoy
    well if you just buy a shoe because it has a jumpman on it then you arent a sneakerhead either… real sneakerheads buy what they like, they dont buy a brand. and like i said i could care less about him wearin fakes, what got me is how he’s claiming to be a shoehead and talking about how he’s been in the game and collected over 400 kicks, but he doesnt know the easiest thing; how to tell a real shoe from a fake one.

  53. Comment by CenValCali June 3rd, 2009 at 12:35 am

    1st of all, ain’t nobody in this freakin world perfect. We all are human & make mistakes. Celebrities make any false move, they gonna get their 15 minutes of fame, I mean shame cuz they in the spotlight & everybody’s got their eyes peeled on WTF they wearin, WTF they drivin, & WhoTF they f#*kin. Y’all really think they (famous folks) spend as much time on the internet as we do lookin for the illest joints before they debut @ the local spot? C’mon mayne, they take a sh!t on gold plated toilets & read the Robb Report for cryin out loud. Another thing, ain’t no1 will have the balls/nuts/courage & heart to confront Big Boi or any O.G. rapper thats been in the game 15 yrs+ bout any bootleg kicks they got on. Thats real….Cuz I know Sir Lucious will put a price on my head if I dare to bump my gums @ em….Stankonia & Aqumini are my all time fav….Yadadajarara?!

  54. Comment by chevyboy June 3rd, 2009 at 1:17 am

    ^yungmoneydjt-he never claimed to be a sneakerhead! He is just into nice kicks, although this wasn’t a very good choice. But you did say that REAL sneakerheads buy what they like, right? Isn’t that what the FUCK he did? So what if they are fake. He bought them because he liked them. As I recall, he did say that he didn’t have enough money to buy them when they first released…that means he already had an admiration for the shoe itself. So who the hell are you to judge this man on what he buys? 10 years ago…come on dude. That’s when most of all your favorite rappers were wearing fake kicks and calling them exclusives. Hell, fake kicks were selling better than authentics were! Bottom line-get your mind right and don’t worry about what this guy’s closet looks like.

    man alot of boyz be gettin got on the net lol

  59. everyone doesnt have to be a sneakerhead to be in the kick game…why disrespect him?….he didnt know the difference and plus he wasnt born rich, im pretty sure he worked hard just like everyone else….stop hating on other cats….do your own thing…

    nonetheless….”F**K da SHoe…look at the car MF!” lmao

  60. Comment by NZA36 June 3rd, 2009 at 4:05 am

    hahaha well atleast the phantom is real haha..i did the same thang tho. finally got sum bread and ordered sum VIII’s off the net but they was actual production colors(blk, metalic gry) but when i got them them joints was jus as fake as big boi’s…lessoned learned tho…he stil shoulda known tho!

  64. Big Boi is still that dude! Man i wish i would’ve known about that photo shoot at Piedmont……..the OG Dungeon Family??? CLASSIC!!! Will be snatching up that VIBE – and the phantom is definitely on point….

  65. Comment by Matt Jones June 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 pm

    What an Idiot…i hate people who disrespect the shoe game…rich people don’t know anything about shoes…dropping those V’s on the pavement is just ridiculous…LOL “500 dollars for about 4 pairs…” what BS

  66. @ chevyboy, varski-203, spradley8 and whoever else has something to say about first off I said in my last comment that those were my own opions and for the most part they were facts. Props on whoever said above that they were customs, I found out that was true, they still look fishy to me but I can’t argue with facts. As for people saying get a life SNEAKERS ARE MY LIFE BITCH!!! So shut they hell up talking about that, just as professonlas take there craft serious whether it be basketball, football, art, or everyday professions like accounting, mangement, and so on. This is my craft my art and my soon To be profession, meaning sneaker an streetwear will soon be the way I put food on the table for my family. So I take this as serious as other people take there lives and professions do, because this is the way I make Money and a great living for my family. So when I see people perpatrating my “Craft” it offends me directly and there is no excuses that will sufice, whether it be ignorance or just plain direct disrespect!!! I take this serious so for all u part time sneaker enthuist find a new hobby because sneakers are my WAY OF LIFE AND WILL BE HOW I EARN AND PAY MY BILLS VERY SOON!!!

  67. Comment by chevyboy June 3rd, 2009 at 4:40 pm

    ^Sneakernerd-RICO: It may be the way for you to be able to pay your bills pretty soon, and that’s good for you, but this is EXACTLY what you said it is to me…a HOBBY. I have a job. But don’t come at me with the bullshit: I am a true and faithful sneakerhead, and I don’t condone wearing fakes. But everyone has slipped before. You coming on here acting like you are all high and mighty. To me, you’re just a HYPEBEAST who doesn’t have anything better to do. My opinions are exactly that-opinions-and I have the right to express them, just like you do. Word of advice: take honest criticism for what it is and move the fuck on…You will never make it far in your so-called business if you don’t.

    I Just Seen Drake V’s.
    I Still Don’t Think
    They Fake…. I Mean
    Why Would A Dude Who
    Actually KNOWS About Jordans
    And Shoes Wear Fakes.??? Make Any Sense.???
    Big Boi Isn’t That Big on Sneakers
    And just wears Them To Be Wearing Them.
    Drake…. On The other Hand Actually Collects
    sneakers. I’ve Seen Pictures Of Him In Heat
    Like Air Yeezy’s Cool Grey 3’s, Aqua 8’s, CDP 3’s.
    I Mean… come on. Ain’t no Way them 5’s He Got Fake. got
    To be Custom.

    Not everything in life is about money Big Boi. Screw the car, and know what you’re talkin about. Do some research before you open your ignorant mouth talkin bout “spacejams.”

  70. Chevyboy kindly move the FUCK ON AND SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH AND QUIT TRYING TO CKME ONE HERE TALKING SHIT TO ME. And as for me being a hypebeast, really that was original move on with that wack shit. I’m far from that u idiot so just keep your mouth shut and when me shop opens soon it will be that much more sweet because dumb asses like u will have more reason to hate. I’m sure your collection I as WACK A U, I’m sure u have a SLAB, WACK AS FAG WHILE IM PUSHING THAT Brand new 2009 750li BMW!! So keep your mouth shut like I said before and just move on and leave my name out your mouth. And if u just could’ve stated your opion without putting my name in your mouth I wouldn’t have had to even come back and SMASH your dumb ass. Sorry and move on homie. Sorry for all the fowl language G-roc it’s just when peope come at me I have to put those idiots in there place.

  71. Comment by chevyboy June 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    ^Sneakernerd-RICO: And you calling me WACK is original? This ain’t what you want, homeboi! Please calm down and check your blood pressure before you have an aneurism (if you know what that is). You might wanna think about trading that Beamer in for some change to start your little “business” and gettin it on it’s feet. Maybe if you act a little more like a responsible grown-up, my boy G-Roc will give you some pointers. As far as my collection goes, maybe it is lame to you because you sound like you are on some really gay shit right now. My collection consists of shit that I like. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about it. If they like it, cool with me. If they don’t, it doesn’t matter. I don’t buy shoes to put on someone else’s feet. As far as my whips, try this on for size: I OWN all three of my vehicles, meaning I have the titles to them all. You probably don’t even know what a title looks like. Like I said before homeboi, get your mind right and grow up!

  72. ^^ Funny how you talk maturity but, you on here like me talking shit. As for my whip I’ll have the title soon so I’m not tripping on that but all that U don’t want this bull shit, calm your ass down. You aren’t scaring anyone with all that tuf internet thug bullshit. And that great u got sneakers u like and u dont care what people like, I can actually agree with that only difference between u and me is people Love all my sneakers just because I have great taste in sneakers. So from now I’m done with u, I’m moving on and so should you and dont worry about when I blow up my Shop will be on TSG so just leave me alone and I’ll do the same for you, either way Im done wasting my time with u.
