American rapper Soulja Boy has revealed why he performed at a Donald Trump inauguration ball.
Soulja Boy, alongside Nelly and Snoop Dogg, has been facing backlash from fans who felt they betrayed their trust by accepting the invitation to perform at Trump’s inauguration balls.
Reacting to the criticisms, the rapper said he was paid to perform at the event.
He explained that he never received any financial benefit from former President Barack Obama, outgoing Vice President, and Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, but Trump enriched him.
Speaking in an Instagram Live video, Soulja said, “They paid me a bag. Obama ain’t never put no money in my fcking pockets, ngga. Kamala ain’t never put no money in my fcking pockets, ngga. Trump put money in my pockets, n*gga.”
Meanwhile, Nelly has claimed that his performance at Trump’s inaugural ball was an act of honor and “not for the money.”
Snoop Dogg is yet to react to the criticisms.
