Nelly addressed criticism he received for performing at the inaugural Liberty Ball

Nelly issued a lengthy clapback on The Shade Room against those who are still criticizing his performance at Donald Trump's inauguration event.

After his recent appearance on HOT97’s Ebro in the Morning, Nelly responded in the comment section on The Shade Room Instagram account. The St. Louis rapper defended his decision to perform at a Donald Trump inauguration event.

In the comment section, Nelly emphasized the importance of separating personal beliefs from professional opportunities. “It’s amazing how you can do something, but if you don’t agree with everything that somebody does, which I plainly said, that. I don’t agree with everything my wife does,” he said. “I never endorsed any president.”

“Where did you get pro-Donald?” Nelly explained. “What you had was respect for office.” Nelly continued, “It’s great how people spin narratives to things that I think best fit whatever they’re against. You know what I’m saying, instead of giving a brother the exact fundamental of what he did, what he said. Nobody’s doing that anymore.”

“It’s amazing how you can do something, but if you don’t agree with everything that somebody does, which I plainly said, that. I don’t agree with everything my wife does,” he said. “I never endorsed any president.”
