A clause in YG’s contract for his performance at San Diego State University’s “Greenfest” stated, that the rapper could NOT perform “Fuck Donald Trump.” According to Complex, by breaking the contract, YG would forfeit his $60,000 pay for the show.
Not worried about the money, YG stood in solidarity with the people and exercised his first amendment right by performing the controversial single. Since the primary elections YG has been very adamant about his stance on Donald Trump and his utter dislike for what the President stands for.
Fans in attendance shared videos and tweets on social media from the SDSU concert, that took place at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theater.
Shout out to @YG for playing FDT even though it means he won't get paid. Not just bc it's a good song but it's relevant and important

SDSU : "Hey YG, you will not get paid your 60k if you play FDT"
YG : plays FDT anyway

SDSU has neither confirmed nor denied the claims, but either way YG is the man for standing by his rights. No amount of money should be enough to change your views. F**k Donald Trump aka the Mango Mussolini.
