American rapper Soulja Boy recently boasted about earning a substantial paycheck for his performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ball. His comments sparked mixed reactions, as fans criticized him, along with fellow artists Nelly and Snoop Dogg, for taking part in the event.
Soulja Boy addressed the backlash by pointing out that he had not received any financial support from former President Barack Obama or Vice President Kamala Harris. “They paid me well,” he said. “Obama never put money in my pockets. Kamala never put money in my pockets. Trump did.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has signed an executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship in the United States. This constitutional right, upheld for over 125 years, grants automatic citizenship to individuals born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.
The executive order is part of Trump’s broader push to revamp immigration and border policies, many of which are expected to face intense legal challenges.
During his inaugural address, Trump underscored his commitment to protecting national security. “As commander in chief, my top priority is defending this nation from threats and invasions, and that’s exactly what I intend to do,” he declared.
Birthright citizenship is rooted in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” This interpretation has been a cornerstone of American immigration policy for generations.
