If you don’t think our culture is experiencing a massive shift back to the right, if you don’t believe that people are rejecting wokeness and reclaiming common sense values and principles, then maybe the fact that several legendary rap artists not only performed at President Donald Trump’s inauguration and defended their decision openly will help you cast away your doubts.
Rapper Soulja Boy took an opportunity to respond to those who are slamming him for performing at the Crypto Ball in D.C. just ahead of the inauguration for the president, according to a report from Breitbart. And he’s not the only one.
Featuring the likes of Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross, the Crypto Ball proved to be a blowout event that Soulja Boy could not pass up. In a heated exchange over Instagram Live this past weekend, Soulja Boy said that Trump “put money in” his pocket while saying he was “somewhat misled” about the event’s politics.
“They paid me a bag. Obama ain’t never put no money in my f***ing pockets. Kamala ain’t never put no money in my f***ing pockets. Trump put money in my pockets,” he said in response to the criticism. “Y’all want me to not answer the phone for the f***ing president? This n**** the president of the motherf***ing United States. Trump wasn’t even there. It wasn’t even a Trump event. It was the Crypto Ball for crypto. And I’ll go again,” he further stated.
According to Reuters, the event featured cryptocurrency executives drinking cocktails while dancing “rap superstar Snoop Dogg on Friday night as they celebrated the approaching inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, whose administration has promised major changes in crypto policy.”
“After years of butting heads with Washington policymakers, executives from crypto companies including Crypto.com, Kraken, and Exodus partied at the first-ever crypto inauguration ball held at the 90-year-old Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium beneath towering 62-foot (19-metre) columns,” the outlet revealed.
“One of many Washington celebrations ahead of Trump’s Monday swearing-in, the crypto gala marks a stunning turnaround for an industry that has been in the Biden administration’s crosshairs. Two years ago, it looked to be on the brink of extinction amid the collapse of FTX,.”
Many folks have come out in favor of President Trump after the election last November. The reason for this sudden boldness, in my view, is due to the fact that Americans came out in record numbers to vote for him, showing a total repudiation of the progressive worldview. Celebrities and performers who were likely already supporters of Trump now felt it was safe to come out and join the masses, no longer fearing reprisals for their backing of the new Trump administration.
