Nelly hopped on social media to fire off on Kamala Harris supporters after his new reality show rehashed his controversial performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
“Some of y’all have a problem with [us] because the prosecutor who has probably locked up more Black men that we’ve helped woman of color with the white husband and white kids did not win the election,” wrote Nelly.
On his new show, Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together, even Ashanti’s mother expressed her disappointment that Nelly accepted the check to perform for Trump.
Nelly seriously think Trump administration is going to reverse their DEI views & give his organization scholarships? That’s Nelly. pic.twitter.com/AZUV08haLl

Ashanti’s father was a civil rights activist.
He continued, “I did not campaign for anyone. I do not tell people who to vote for. I respect and love our country from top to bottom good and bad… and I’m very aware that it’s a lot of things we need to work on the right is too far right and the left is too far left…
“I’m a military baby with a grand uncle who is a Tuskegee airman and red tail that was very prideful in his country I told you it’s my respect for the office meaning any president that calls on Nelly it would be an honor… nothing to do with money. Nothing to do with race but if you wanna make it about race then let’s goooooooo I find it very interesting. That’s so many of you would dump on two Black men that’s married to Black women that has Black children because the woman of color with the white husband and white kids didn’t win.”
