Nelly, the Grammy-winning rapper, has been facing accusations of supporting Donald Trump. He has been making the rounds on press runs for his new reality show, "Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together." During an interview with the "Ebro In The Morning" podcast, Nelly clarified his stance and made it clear that just because he performed at a Trump inauguration event does not mean he endorses him. He expressed frustration with how people tend to twist stories to fit their own narrative instead of truly listening to his words.
Nelly's situation is not unique, as other celebrities have also faced criticism for their involvement with the Trump administration. Snoop Dogg, who has been vocal about his dislike for Trump in the past, was also called out for attending an Inaugural Crypto Ball in his honor. However, Snoop defended his decision by stating that the benefits and opportunities he gained from the event outweigh any backlash he received from the community.
In a recent interview, Snoop addressed the criticism he received for his attendance at the event. He called it a "30 for 30" situation, where he made money and built relationships that would help him give back to the community and teach financial literacy. He also pointed out that in his 30 years in the industry, he has been consistently involved in charitable and community work, so it's unfair to judge him based on one event. Snoop questioned whether people should focus on the 30 minutes he spent at the event or the 30 years of positive contributions he has made.
