Soulja Boy has taken to social media to defend his decision to perform at the Crypto Ball event in Washington DC over the weekend.
According to the musician, the programme, which also featured artists such as Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross, was designed to honour President Donald Trump and was too good an opportunity to pass on, as he urgently needed the money.
“Y’all want me to not answer the phone for the president, this is the president of the m***** f*****g United States. Trump wasn’t even there. It was the Crypto Ball for crypto n****s,” Soulja said, as caught by The Shade Room. “I don’t give a f*** what nobody talking about. I’m gonna do whatever the f*** I want to do. And I’ll go again.”
