Rapper Soulja Boy will no longer act in Stand with the event “Get Out the Vote” of Crypto in Jersey City next week because a court finds him responsible for sexual assault and aggression, a spokesman said to Coindesk on Thursday.
Soulja Boy, also known as Deandre Cortez Way, and 070 Shake, also known as Danielle Balbuena, they were scheduled to head the event on June 5, which was intended to take out the fans of the cryptographic a few weeks before the New Jersey residents go to the surveys to choose their nominated for the governor race of Garden State, with Wednesday.
Stand with Crypto New Jersey Chapter, President Carlos Merino said in a statement that “this GOTV rally is a more example of a stand with Crypto’s commitment to mobilize the cryptographic community before the primary elections of governor criticism of New Jersey.”
However, Way will no longer work after Politico reported Thursday morning that he was recently ordered to pay a former assistant $ 4 million after being found responsible for sexual assault and assault.
An external Stand With Crypto spokesman said in a statement that the organization “was not aware of recent legal developments involving Soulja Boy.”
“Given this information, we have eliminated it from our event alignment. 070 Shake will continue to act in our June 5 rally and we hope to bring together the New Jersey cryptographic community to demonstrate the political power of cryptographic voters before government primaries,” according to the statement.
“Our approach remains to mobilize the supporters of cryptocurrencies and ensure that candidates understand that clear and sensible cryptographic policy is a priority for New Jersey voters.”
The demand against Way dates back to 2021, although the jury’s ruling only arrived last month. Way said he would appeal the ruling, according to Courthouse News Service.
Way was also held in the “Crypto Ball”, an inauguration event sponsored by Maga Inc. and Bitcoin Inc., as well as Crypto.com, Exodus, Anchorage Digital and Kraken in January.
