Ahead of his speech at Donald Trump’s inaugural ball, he elaborated on his decision
Before going on stage, Nelly talked about her decision again during a conversation with ABC News. The rapper reiterated that he considers it an “honor” to perform in front of the president and apparently “never thought” it was possible.
“It’s not political for me. For me, the political part is over. He won and I was taught growing up to respect the office, so Nellie is here,” he said.
