Soulja Boy is speaking up and out in defense of his performance for the Crypto Ball – an event held in Donald Trump‘s honor.
And, true to form, the rapper did not hold back.
Full story below…
The ‘Crank Dat’ MC came under fire – alongside the likes of Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross – for taking to the stage at the event.
Venting via Instagram, the 34-year-old hissed:
“Obama never put money in my pocket, n*gga. Kamala never put money in my pocket, n*gga. Trump put money in my pocket, n*gga.
Motherf**kers trying to say something about me performing at the Crypto Ball, did Kamala call my f**king phone? Did Obama call my motherf*cking phone?
Y’all so worried about…Snoop Dogg…Rick Ross. Kamala, you didn’t even win b*tch. Y’all can s*ck my d*ck. I do what the f**k I want to do.”

Soulja Boy’s words follow a less expletive led clapback from Nelly, who is performing at the formal inauguration on January 20.


He speaks facts!
Sadly nobody cares!
Yeah …That’s exactly why slavery took so long to eradicate….. Sadd!!
Young man,
Double negatives are ungrammatical.
Now go make me some covfefe.
The funny thing is the audience attending this ball would never hire his show…
ok!!!! like the brain cells are not connecting up there
The elders have failed another generation. At some point we’ll have to prioritize brains just as much as we prioritize money for there to be any hope for the future.
They didn’t hire him for his talent, they needed a clown.
China is laughing…mmmm
Slavery…. is alive again!
😆
Ignorance at its best. This dude should invest that money in going back to school!
Soulja boy and bow wow used to be hot and s***. That macro polo video got me so turn on y’all. I used to want to swallow their babies
another goon bites the dust.
He’s not wrong. If Soulja was on the streets, most of us would be in the shade room clowning him. Not one of us would donate to help him. He goes where the money is.
But the sad thing in this case is the money only came to him because they couldn’t find any better acts to pop out and support them! Envision the scenario at hand….Trumps people call Rollingstone and Elton John. They get a sure yes for performing…Souljah boy decided OMG, I love our commander in chief too and now I wanna join! *ring, ring…SB calls trump* hey trump I see you need acts to perform for your crypto ball and inauguration, can I join? Well gee Souljah, we are flattered but we already got Beyonce and Taylor Swift added to the list and sadly theres no room for you, sorry but best regards and keep America great! I guarantee you…that’s exactly how that call would have went and SB would have been on a different rank saying how Obama needs to come back and how Black lives matter, etc., etc., etc. He’s a drugged out idiot and needs to be locked up with Tory asap. He’s wayyyyyyy to old to be thinking and speaking so illogical like this smh.
A lot of great points. I agree.
The entire line up is just weird. But I suspect soulja boy was specifically hired to be the comedy relief, he just doesn’t know it. Or maybe he does but needs the check that bad and that’s why he’s so defensive. Either way, he is and will always be an idiot.
Did attendees know who he is? 👀
Nope.
Someone tweeted they didn’t know any of his songs but Crank Dat smh. And they seemed to barely know that washed up song based on the low vibrations the audience had. Doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, yellow or brown. In these next 4 years, we are ALL gonna be f*cked with no lubrication or baby oil needed.
I watched them putting their hands up and “dancing” in their chairs with a deer in headlights look. Betcha they thought Snoop, Soulja, and Rick Ross were one and the same rapper. 🤣
Drugged up pedro
He thinks Trump is going to let black people thrive
So his decision was money-motivated, which in itself is fine. I think he’s missing the bigger picture around ethics and morals for most people, and if he’d also made a statement regarding his own personal political morals and ethics that would have possibly yielded more understanding
All money is not good money. Cooning for a check is a blight on our community. Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, and Nelly should be relegated to the same status as Chrisette Michelle.
