The clip shows the 'Hot In Herre' artist discussing how he has never endorsed any presidential candidate and pushing back against the assertion that he's a supporter of Trump after the performance. As it often happens with The Shade Room, fans began hurling barbs in Nelly's direction, which got his attention via a lengthy response in where he defends his actions, blasts Kamala Harris, criticized her intteracial marriage, and stood up for Snoop Dogg, who also caught the ire of fans for assumed support of President Trump.

Nelly Slams Kamala Harris For Imprisoning Black Men & Having A White Husband, Social Media Reacts
Nelly is the latest celebrity-turned-internet-punching-bag, and it's because he's been dragged into the political debate sphere. The St. Louis rapper recently sat down with Hot 97's Ebro In The Morning , where he spoke about the flak he got for performing at President Trump's inauguration. Despite accepting the gig, Nelly says it's got nothing to do with being a Trump supporter, instead framing it as having 'respect for the office.' 'It's great how people spin narratives to things that I think best fit whatever they're against. You know what I'm saying?' He continued. 'Instead of giving a brother the exact fundamentals of what he did, what he said. Nobody's doing that anymore.' Nelly sticks to saying he's never endorsed a president and adds that agreeing to the performance was more so him paying respect to the men and women who serve this country, because he himself is a military brat. The defense continued after The Shade Room posted a clip of the interview, and he hopped into the comments section. He even named fellow inauguration performer Snoop Dogg, saying they 'do more in the community and have been doing for over 20 + years against any of you that are just on here talking trash.' His lengthy comment takes a turn when, without mentioning her name, he speaks on Kamala Harris, calling her the 'prosecutor who has probably locked up more Black men that we've helped.' Beyond professional criticism, he even took personal digs, referring to her as the 'woman of color with the white husband and white kids. She did not win the election.' Despite Nelly's pointed comments about Harris, he maintains that he did not campaign for either candidate and attempts to remain neutral. He adds, 'I respect and love our country from top to bottom good and bad… and I am very aware that it's a lot of things in this country that we need to work on the right is too far right and the left is too far left.' His Harris bashing, paired with his refusal to change the diapers of his newborn son with his wife, Ashanti, has him getting roasted on social media. See the reactions below.

The Little Mermaid actress was seen vacationing with him in Italy while on break from filming her next movie. Photos posted by The Shade Room showed Halle on a yacht with the man now identified by fans as Ruchaun Akers, professionally known as Scott Bridgeway. The couple were seen swimming, snapping pictures, sharing kisses, and relaxing—appearing close and comfortable together. Bridgeway, originally from Roanoke and raised in North Carolina, is a hip-hop producer with reported credits that include work with Kendrick Lamar on his album GNX, specifically for tracks "luther "peekaboo" and, "squabble up". The timing of the sighting has drawn attention, as Halle is currently involved in an ongoing custody case with ex-boyfriend DDG over their son, Halo. In May, Halle was granted a restraining order after accusing DDG of domestic violence during a custody exchange. She alleged he left her with bruises and a chipped tooth. Halle also accused him of unlawfully entering her home and continuing to harass her after their separation. Though DDG tried to block her from taking their son abroad for work, the court granted Halle temporary sole custody, allowing her to travel for filming. The custody hearing is still pending. Meanwhile, DDG has remained vocal online, recently stating during a livestream that he would prefer using a fertility clinic for future children to avoid co-parenting. While the legal proceedings continue, Halle's peaceful moments with Bridgeway suggest a possible new chapter, both personally and professionally.
