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.

Controversial Nigerian transgender, Bobrisky, has called the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the most wicked organisation in Nigeria.

Bobrisky made this statement while reacting to the Commission’s plea asking Nigerians to show empathy and humanity towards its official who was shot dead during one of its night raids in Anambra State.

In a series of posts on Instagram Stories on Monday, Bobrisky accused EFCC of hypocrisy, stating that the police are “100% better.”

“I just don’t like reading about the EFCC online because I feel like I want to throw up each time I read about them,” Bobrisky posted.

“You’re asking the public to be human over the loss of your staff, but you are the most wicked people in Nigeria.

“When I was in your custody, you took me to my house and searched it. When I asked you why, you claimed I was into money laundering and wanted to check if I was printing money in my house. The police are 100 % better than you all, one million times.”
