President Donald Trump started his second administration with a blitz of policy actions to reorient the U.S. government.

Rapper Nelly will be hitting the stage to celebrate the inauguration of Donald Trump, who will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, according to CBS News. The 50-year-old hip-hop star, real name Cornell Haynes, Jr., is expected to perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball, one of three evening balls.

Rapper Nelly faces backlash for performing at President Trump's second-term inauguration, defending his decision as respect for the presidency, not politics, amid criticism for coinciding with Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump’s inauguration performers include Carrie Underwood, Village People and Lee Greenwood.

Donald Trump has chosen the people he wants in high-level positions during his second presidency. The nominees must be confirmed by the Senate. These are his picks for Cabinet-level posts, including some positions that have been part of the Cabinet in recent administrations.

As the 47th President, Trump promised to be a “peacemaker and unifier,” but his proposed policies—ending DEI initiatives, mass deportations and denying transgender identity—contradict that.

The president-elect's first inauguration struggled to get any well-known artists, but he’s seeing less opposition this time around. Here’s why.

Rapper Nelly is set to perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball on January 20 with Donald Trump in attendance. According to sources close to the event planning, the 50-year-old artist will join the Village People and country star Jason Aldean as the entertainment for the night, CBS reported.

Nelly is standing firm amid backlash over his decision to perform at one of President-elect Donald Trump’s official inaugural balls.

Many musicians who have signed up to perform at the Inauguration have faced backlash from fans.

I’m not doing this for money,” Nelly stated firmly during the interview. “This is about standing up for what I believe in and taking an opportunity to engage in dialogue—not division.”
