Joining Nelly — who got dragged for his upcoming performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday (January 20) — rapper Soulja Boy is defending his choice to perform at Friday night’s (January 17) Crypto Ball, as part of Donald Trump’s Inauguration weekend.
On Friday, social media went into an uproar when videos started surfacing of Soulja Boy, Snoop Dogg, and Rick Ross on stage at the Crypto Ball, an event that took place during Donald Trump’s Inauguration Weekend.
The rappers were all dragged for seemingly performing on behalf of the President-elect and apparent Trump supporters, although he reportedly wasn’t at the event, it was just during his inauguration weekend. Clapping back at the critics, Soulja Boy took to his Instagram Live to slam everybody who has an issue with him lining his pockets.
While pulling stacks of 100-dollar bills, Soulja Boy said, “They paid me a bag, n***a. [Barack] Obama ain’t never put no money in my f***ing pockets, n***a. Kamala [Harris] ain’t never put no money in my f***ing pockets, n***a. [Donald] Trump put money in my pockets, n***a.”
He later said, “Motherf***ers are trying to say something about me performing at the Crypto Ball party. Did Kamala call my f***ing phone? Did Obama call my motherf***ing phone? Did any of you n***as call my motherf***ing phone? On God, n***a. What the f**k you mean, n***a? I do what the f**k I want, n***a… It wasn’t even a Trump event. Trump wasn’t even there, n***a. Y’all so worried about, ‘He performed. Him, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross.”

He later said, “Kamala, you ain’t even win, b*tch. Obama, you ain’t call my f***ing phone, n***a. Suck my d**k, n***a. Y’all want me to not answer the phone of the f***ing President? N***a, this the f***ing President of motherf***ing United States, n***a. Trump wasn’t even there, n***a. It wasn’t even a Trump event. It was the Crypto Ball for Crypto, n***a. Y’all can suck my d**k and cancel me all day. F**k y’all, n***as. On my momma. N***a, I don’t give a f**k what nobody talking about, n***a. I do what the f**k I want to do and I’ll go again.”
In another part of his Instagram Live, Soulja Boy claimed, “I ain’t gon’ lie. Those folks did try to trick me. I ain’t gon’ lie. I 50/50 ain’t give a f**k, though. Half way I was like, ‘Man, f**k this n***a Trump,’ and the other half was like, ’N***a the President.'”
