Janelle Monáe Slams Nelly For Performing At Donald Trump’s Inauguration Ball, During Grammys After-Party: ‘F*ck That N*gga

Janelle Monáe had a lot to say about Nelly’s controversial performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ball.

While performing with Anderson .Paak at a recent Grammys afterparty, Janelle switched up the lyrics to Nelly’s hit song “Hot in Herre” and called out the rapper in front of the packed crowd.

She rapped,

“I used to like Nelly … but then he performed for Donald Trump. F*ck that [n-word]. I don’t give a f*ck … Nelly, you sold out. I used to think he was cool … F*ck you [n-word]. Get a new attitude.”

Nelly faced backlash for performing at Trump’s inauguration ball, but defended his decision, saying,

“This is not a campaign trail. This is not anything that I feel like I’m influencing people to sway how they feel, but it’s more about the respect and the honor of being invited for what I like to call the greatest country on the planet.”
