Former Atlanta Resident Soulja Boy Hints at 2028 Run for President
Soulja Boy said he is exploring public service and outlined four priorities, including economic opportunity and technology, in an Instagram post.
- On Saturday, Rapper Soulja Boy teased a 2028 presidential run via Instagram, captioning the post "SOULJA BOY 2028" and framing the potential campaign as "a new chapter" and "a bigger vision."
- DeAndre Cortez Way identified four focus areas for his platform: economic opportunity, criminal justice reform, education, and the future of technology and artificial intelligence, framing the effort as exploring public service.
- Soulja Boy rose to prominence in 2007 when "Crank That" spent seven nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, establishing him as an early success story in internet-driven music promotion.
- The announcement follows his performance at the Crypto Ball, an event held during Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration festivities, which he previously addressed after receiving public backlash.
- While Saturday Night Live famously parodied a presidential run by the artist in 2019, Soulja Boy has not officially filed campaign paperwork or announced a formal team at this stage.
