I’m not doing this for money,” Nelly stated firmly during the interview. “This is about standing up for what I believe in and taking an opportunity to engage in dialogue—not division.”

Nelly is one of several Black artists that have been announced to be performing at Donald Trump Inaugural events next week.

Rapper Nelly, who is an Atlanta resident, has been added to the lineup of performers at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration events. The 50-year-old rapper is scheduled to perform at the Liberty Inaugural Ball on Monday night. Country singer Jason Aldean and disco band The Village People are also set to perform.
