Chingy has dropped out of the lineup of performers at a Republican fundraiser featuring Donald Trump Jr. after public pressure.
The rapper Chingy found himself the subject of some controversy for being part of a concert event supporting LGBTQ Republicans, and he’s now dropped out of it while still defending his initial decision. The “Red, White & Rock” event is set to take place in Nashville, Tennessee, as announced by the organizers, the Log Cabin Republicans. Chingy jumped in the comments of another publication that posted the flyer last Saturday (Sept. 21), writing: “I’m a say this one time. MY JOB IS TO PERFORM AND I GET PAID TO PERFORM, NOT [CARE] ABOUT POLITICS. NOW YALL FIND SUMIN ELSE TO DO WITH YURR TIME.”

The “Red, White & Rock” event was also scheduled to have Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, in attendance along with a collection of mid-level artists. Ticket prices range from $1,000 to $50,000 for VIP access. The “Right Thurr” rapper would go on to duke it out in the comments with other people, responding to one who called him broke by writing: “You can’t be down bad when you just bought a 500k house pimp,” adding: ”Those people don’t hate me because they love my music. Music isn’t racist and that’s how I play it.”
Chingy is unbothered by the folks criticizing his Trump performance.
Several outlets shared the flyer of Chingy, who was listed as an act at the Nashville event, and he commented on one of these, explaining that he was simply doing his job.

“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.” he wrote, also expressing anger at media outlets not covering his being honored by the city of St. Louis, Missouri, with “Chingy Day” on Sept. 14. He’d eventually bow out of performing at the event.
“YOU KNO WHAT JUS CAUSE I DONT WANT [TO] BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MESS. I HAVE DECLINED PERFORMING AND NO IM [NOT] A TRUMP SUPPORTER NOR SUPPORTER OF ANYONE ELSE BUT CHINGY. THURR YOU HAVE IT,”
Chingy’s involvement in the event is the latest effort by Republicans to draw more rappers and rap personalities into supporting former President Donald Trump. It follows Brooklyn artist Fivio Foreign’s social media posts attending a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, which also saw him roundly roasted online.
