Probably not explicitly, but most likely implicitly.
Or I just bought a wu-tang shirt once and just started rocking it again (festival outfit

)
I mean it's not like everyone would be rocking Beats by Dr. Dre if they were just some random $3-400 headphones in a store.
There's plenty things that I've bought for which I can't track the source of influence but I bet that some rappers were the underlying reason for why I bought it. Like BAPE and shyt.
