Singer Janelle Monáe criticized rapper Nelly for performing at President Donald Trump's inauguration, calling him a 'motherf---ing fool' during a Grammys afterparty performance of Nelly's hit song 'Hot in Herre.' Monáe accused Nelly of 'selling out' for performing at the event.
Outspokenly liberal musician Janelle Monáe condemned rapper Nelly for performing at President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities last month, arguing he now looks like 'a motherf---ing fool.' On Sunday night, Monáe did a rendition of Nelly ’s hit song 'Hot in Herre' at a Grammys afterparty. She added her own spin, however, with an improvised, expletive-laced riff, shouting, 'F--- you, Nelly ,' and accusing the original singer of having 'sold out.
He has also declared publicly that he did the performance not for the money, but out of respect for the institution of the presidency. 'I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this 'cause it’s an honor. I respect the office,' the St. Louis native told fellow rapper, Willie D. 'It don’t matter who is in office. The same way that our men and women, our brothers and sisters who protect this country, have to go to war and have to put their life on the line for whoever in office.
