Soulja Boy has people talking after posting a message that appeared to tease a presidential campaign. The rapper wrote “SOULJA BOY 2028” and said he is exploring whether his background in entertainment, business and technology could translate into public service.

His message focused on economic opportunity, criminal justice reform, education and artificial intelligence.
