Soulja Boy recently took to social media to express his concerns about the potential ban of popular app, TikTok. As the deadline set by President Biden approaches, the rapper couldn't help but voice his frustrations on his X account.
"It's crazy how y'all are just gonna let them ban TikTok like that. And y'all think it's a joke? This sets a dangerous precedent for any other app or site. Not cool, y'all will see later," Soulja Boy wrote, clearly not amused by the situation.
But he didn't stop there. In a follow-up tweet, he directly addressed TikTok's official X account, asking how much they would want for the app. "How much y'all want for TikTok? I'll buy it," he boldly declared, showing his interest in potentially taking over the social media platform.
However, TikTok has yet to respond publicly to his inquiry. In fact, the company's executives have made it clear that they have no intentions of selling the app anytime soon. In a statement released shortly after President Biden signed the bill, TikTok assured its American users that they have no plans of leaving.
"Our Statement on Enactment of the TikTok Ban: This unconstitutional law is a TikTok ban, and we will challenge it in court. We believe the facts and the law are clearly on our side, and we will ultimately prevail," the statement read.
TikTok also highlighted their efforts to keep user data safe and free from outside influence, stating that the ban would not only affect their business, but also silence millions of Americans who use the app.
However, with the assumed worth of TikTok being around $100 billion, it may be a little out of Soulja Boy's budget. His net worth is unclear, but the rapper faced legal trouble in 2023 that revealed his limited assets. Regardless of his seriousness, the clock is ticking for TikTok to make a move and prevent the ban from happening.
