Soulja Boy wanted more high profile artists at the VMAs on Tuesday.

Soulja Boy says that he wasn’t impressed by the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Taking to Twitter on Wednesday morning, he asked where Travis Scott, Drake, Beyonce, JAY-Z, and more stars were during the night. He also shared a fan's post about him not being invited to perform.

“VMAs was Wack,” he began in one post. “No Travis and he just dropped best album. No lil baby. Where was 50 cent ain’t this 50 years of hip hop? Fuck this Shit free thug.” He then added: “Why young boy ain’t ever perform at VMAs or BET? Music game Fucked up let the real ones shine,” while retweeting a fan’s post that reads: “Wack without you Draco! All this folks copied you style all day long. I'm hurt.”
