Rapper Chingy has backed out of performing an upcoming Trump event.
The “Right Thurr” rapper, initially defended himself about performing at the event after it was announced on social media. He wrote, “I’m a say this one time, MY JOB IS TO PERFORM AND I GET PAID TO PERFORM, NOT CAURR ABOUT POLITICS. NOW YALL FIND SUMN ELSE TO DO WITH YURR TIME.”
He continued as he addressed fans who suggested that he had “fallen on hard times,” after event tickets were selling for $1,000. “You can’t be down bad when you just bought a $500k house pimp,” he said. “Those people don’t hate me because they love my music. Music isn’t racist and that’s how I play it. All this nonsense y’all creating bothers me none. I’m a performer, whether these people are political, homosexual, or whatever- they all love music… I have classic records they all love and I will perform them for them. So I hope that helps you understand that my job as an artist is to perform and make timeless music. That I did.”
After responding to fans, he backed out of performing. Chingy said, “You know what just cause I don’t want to be in the middle of this mess. I have declined performing and no I’m not a Trump supporter not a supporter of anyone else but Chingy. Thurr you have it.”
