Black artistes who refused to sellout and stood by their convictions

2 Chainz

We all know the organizers of Trump’s inauguration ceremony had a very, very tough time booking artists to perform at the event. Among the tall list of musicians to reject their advances was African-American rapper 2 Chainz.

According to the Atlanta rapper in a post he shared on his Instagram page in January last year, Trump’s management reached out to him but he rejected their offer.

“So I usually just leave a lot of shit to myself. I wanted to go to The White House. I never got invited. I seen all them beautiful pics of everybody going to all these parties. I just wanted to say what’s up to Barack. We all came from a troubled past, but I seen him give people some really big chances.” He said.

“But anyway it didn’t happen, and I’m cool with that. But then Trump calls management. And I know they only doing this ’cause they can’t get nobody else. They want me to perform for the inauguration. I had to say nah. No matter how much money it was. I probably won’t be going to The White House no time soon,” he added.
