In a surprising turn of events, hip-hop legend Nelly is reportedly slated to take the stage at one of Donald Trump’s inaugural balls. According to CBS News, the “Hot in Herre” hitmaker is expected to perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball on Monday, January 20, a key event following Trump’s inauguration and presidential parade.
The Liberty Ball is just one of several high-profile celebrations planned, alongside the Commander in Chief Ball and the Starlight Ball. For Nelly, this performance could mark a significant “full-circle” moment in his career.
On his 2000 breakout single “Country Grammar (Hot Shit),” the St. Louis rapper famously referenced Trump, asking him to “let me in.” Now, more than two decades later, it seems Nelly has been granted his long-awaited entry.
Nelly is reportedly among a select group of artists scheduled to perform at events celebrating Trump’s presidency. While this collaboration may surprise some fans, it highlights the diverse array of entertainment lined up for the inauguration festivities.
