“MY JOB IS TO PERFORM AND I GET PAID TO PERFORM”- Chingy Defends Himself in Instagram Comment Section
Since the announcement of Chingy performing at the Log Cabin Republican event went viral, numerous theories have arisen, ranging from financial struggles to suggestions that he supports Trump, as explanations for his participation in the event.
On September 21, 2024, the Instagram page Baller Alert shared the event’s promotional poster, which sparked substantial engagement. Among the many comments, Chingy himself weighed in to defend his intentions amidst the swirling rumors.
“I’ma say this one time. MY JOB IS TO PERFORM AND I GET PAID TO PERFORM, NOT CARE ABOUT POLITICS. NOW YALL FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO WITH YOUR TIME.”
However, a commentator named @paulodoom suggested that the rapper should be more transparent with his fans, indicating that they would support him if he were candid about his situation, and highlighted the irony of him performing for an audience that may not align with his values and community.
In response, the rapper emphasized his financial stability and position as an artist, noting:
“You can’t be down bad when you just bought a 500k house, p*mp. 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.”
Chingy continued:
“I’m a performer, whether these people are political, homosexual, or whatever—they all love music. I have classic records they all enjoy, and I will perform them for them. So I hope that helps you understand that my job as an artist is to entertain and create timeless music. That I did.”
