“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,” Soulja said, addressing the criticism he received from fans who felt betrayed by his involvement with the Trump event.
Soulja’s comments come amid broader controversy, as fellow artists like Nelly and Snoop Dogg also faced backlash for performing at Trump’s inauguration.
Meanwhile, President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution for over 125 years. The order is part of a series of actions to overhaul immigration policies, many of which are expected to face legal challenges.

In his inaugural address, Trump reiterated his commitment to national security, stating, “As commander in chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions, and that is what I’m going to do.”
