Chingy’s upcoming appearance at the Log Cabin Republicans’ Red White & Rock concert on September 29 has landed him in hot water. The event, which is organized by the nation’s oldest and largest group for gay conservatives and allies, is also set to feature Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls and country rocker Jesse Keith Whitley.
However, what seems to be raising the most eyebrows is the involvement of Donald Trump Jr. and his possibly ex-girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle. When Baller Alert posted about Chingy’s performance, fans were quick to express their disappointment and confusion.
Chingy didn’t shy away from the criticism. He responded in the comments, saying, “I’m a say this one time. My job is to perform and get paid to perform, not caurr [sic] about politics. Now y’all find [something] else to do with yurr [sic] time.”
Some commenters speculated that Chingy’s participation in the event, where ticket prices start at $1,000, was due to financial struggles. Chingy was quick to squash those rumors, stating, “You can’t be down bad when you just bought a 500k house.”
He went on to explain, “Those people don’t hate me because they love my music. Music isn’t racist and that’s how I play it… I’m a performers w[h]ether theses [sic] people political homosexual or whatever they all love music… [M]y job as an artist is to perform and make timeless music.”
Chingy recently grabbed headlines last month when Drake commented on the St. Louis rapper’s 2003 hit, “One Call Away.” On August 18, Drake shared some of the song’s lyrics on his Instagram Story, adding personal reflections that praised Chingy.
He followed up with more praise, suggesting a personal connection to Chingy’s lyrics. Chingy’s back-and-forth with Drake showed that his music still resonates, regardless of political affiliations or controversies.
Chingy remains firm that his job is to perform, regardless of the political landscape or public opinion.
