At a Grammy celebration, Janelle Monáe had some very clear words to say about Nelly.
At a Grammy feast show, Janelle Monáe took over the stage with a performance and took the chance to convey her opinion on his appearance at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The beat to Nelly’s hitsong “Hot in Herre” sounded when Monáe started the microphone at the after party after the Grammy Awards. But instead of trivializing the well-known Lyrics “I was Like, Good Gracious Ass Bodacious/ Flirtatcious, Tryin to Show Faces”, the 39-year-old artist rapped his very own version for the dancing crowd.
“I take care of gay people”
“Fuck you, Nelly” was said by Monáe. And then further: “I used to like Nelly, but then he performed for Donald Trump. I take care of women, I take care of Hispanics, I’m worried about Spaniards. I take care of Mexicans, I’m worried about gay people. You sold yourself. I always thought you were cool. But now you look like a damned idiot. “
Even afterwards, Janelle Monáe was not finished with the anti-Nelly verse and pushed after: “Fuck you! Maybe I’m a little tipsy, but I still know everything I say, damn it. Fuck you, Nelly! “
Section of the live diss moment:
“I’m not doing this for money”
The background: Trump was raised to the office of 47th President of the United States on Monday, January 20. Nelly and Carrie Underwood also performed live at the ceremony in the White House. After the controversial gigs, many were outraged; According to “Luminate” and “Billboard”, the streaming numbers of artists fell. Unterwood’s song clicks fell by around six percent, while Nelly’s streams dropped from 1.63 million to 1.54 million within a week.
Nelly turned to the public in a statement and tried to justify his appearance at the inauguration in conversation with “Willie D Live”: “I did not know that I had to agree to your political decisions. If you do what I do, it shouldn’t even be an argument. He is the president. He won, ”the 50-year-old started. And: “I don’t do that for money. I do it because it’s an honor. I respect the office. It doesn’t matter who is in office. “
