Denzel Curry is staking his claim on an out-of-this-world first — literally. 

The Florida rapper reacted after NASA revealed his track “Tokyo Drifting” (with Glass Animals) was used as a wake-up song for astronauts aboard the Artemis II crew. 

The historic mission, which kicked off April 1, marks the first time humans have traveled around the moon in over 50 years. As the crew began their journey back to Earth, NASA shared that Curry’s high-energy collab helped set the tone for the day.

Ooh, now you're letting go 🌕

“Even Aliens f–k with my s–t!” Curry joked on X after catching wind of the moment. 

The Artemis II playlist also tapped heavy hitters like André 3000, John Legend, and CeeLo Green — but Denzel Curry currently has a solid case to be the first rapper to claim spins in deep space.
