American rapper and record producer, DeAndre Cortez Way, better known as Soulja Boy, has expressed interest in acquiring popular social media app, TikTok.
The 33-year-old artiste becomes the first person to indicate his interest in buying the app after President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package bill, which would see the Chinese-owned social media platform banned in the United States if it’s not sold within nine months into law.
Taking to his X handle after the bill was signed, Soulja Boy condemned the new law, saying if the U.S authorities ban TikTok, they can also ban any other app or site in the future.

Speaking via his verified social media handle, he tweeted: “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.”
Following up on his earlier post with another tweet, the rapper went on to suggest that he is interested in buying TikTok.
“How much yall want for TikTok? I’ll buy it. @tiktok_us.” Soulja Boy added.
Meanwhile, TikTok, while reacting to the impending ban, vowed to take legal action against the new law.
The app spokesperson, Alex Haurek called the law “unconstitutional” in a statement and vowed to “challenge it in court.”
