Janelle Monae didn’t hold back! (Picture: Getty) Janelle Monae made it crystal clear how she felt about Nelly’s Donald Trump inauguration performance. The Tightrope singer’s brutal takedown came after Sunday night’s Grammys afterparty where she launched a savage verbal attack at the rapper – with a rendition of his club classic Hot in Herre. In footage obtained by TMZ, Janelle, 39, alongside singer Anderson .Paak freestyled: ‘F**k you Nelly. I used to like Nelly, but then he went to perform for Donald Trump. She rapped: ‘I care about women, I care about Hispanics. … You sold out. I used to think you were cool. But now you look like a mother*****g fool.’ Nelly – real name Cornell Iral Haynes Jr – previously sparked controversy over his decision to perform at Trump’s inauguration alongside the likes of Carrie Underwood, and Billy Ray Cyrus. The 50-year-old rapper previously defended his decision to perform at the festivities, saying ‘the things you do’ are more important than ‘the things you say should be done’.

If you follow what I do, this shouldn’t even be an argument. He is the president. He won,’ Nelly argued. ‘I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this because it’s an honour. I respect the office. It don’t matter who is in office.’ Janelle isn’t the only artist to throw shade at those who performed at the inauguration. Ariana Grande reportedly liked a post mocking Carrie’s performance of America the Beautiful.
