‘Hot in Herre’ hitmaker Nelly endured his fair share of heat at the top of 2025 for being one of the featured performers at Donald Trump‘s second presidential inauguration.

Slammed by fans and celebrity admirers alike, the 3-time GRAMMY winner only saw that backlash intensified once he took to press to defend the decision by calling it “an honor” and comparing the risky move to the blowback Beyonce received from Country enthusiasts for the ‘Cowboy Carter’ album.

And though he continued the year seemingly unscathed by the controversy, he’s made clear – as reiterated in a recent interview – that he’s not fond of the public’s perception of his affiliation with Trump.
