Rapper, Soulja Boy Playfully offers to buy TikTok

Renowned American rapper Soulja Boy has expressed strong interest in acquiring TikTok, the popular social media app. This announcement follows U.S. President Joe Biden’s signing of a foreign aid legislation, which could result in the platform’s ban within the United States if it remains unsold within nine months.

Soulja Boy criticized the new legislation, suggesting that banning TikTok sets a concerning precedent for potential future bans on other apps or websites by U.S. authorities. His stance reflects broader concerns about governmental control over digital platforms and the implications for innovation and free expression.

The rapper’s interest in TikTok underscores its cultural and commercial significance, with potential implications for its future ownership and management. As discussions around TikTok’s fate continue, Soulja Boy’s statement adds a notable voice to the ongoing debate about the intersection of technology, policy, and corporate ownership in the digital age.

“I can’t believe yall just gon let them ban TikTok like that. And yall think it’s funny. If they do it to this app they can do it to any app or site. Not cool fr yall will see later,” he wrote.

In a lighthearted social media update, the rap artist playfully teased the idea of acquiring TikTok, adding a touch of humor to the speculation surrounding the popular social media platform, the rapper jokingly suggested that he will buy TikTok.

Soulja Boy wrote: “How much yall want for TikTok? I’ll buy it. @tiktok_us.”

TikTok has publicly declared its intention to take legal action against the newly implemented law. Speaking on behalf of the app, spokesperson Alex Haurek described the legislation as “unconstitutional” and affirmed the company’s resolve to contest it in court.
