Nelly previously came under fire for speaking out in support of Donald Trump during his inauguration, earlier this year.
Nelly says he’s “staying positive” about Donald Trump after the president’s controversial first 100 days in office.
He spoke about Trump’s decisions thus far during an interview with Fox News Digital as caught by TMZ.
“I’m all for everybody staying positive about any and everything,” he said. “I’m a glass half-full type of guy. I’m more empowered by bringing people together and making sure that we all get what we need, when we need it and why we need it.”
Nelly made headlines, earlier this year, for performing at the Liberty Ball event in celebration of the inauguration of Donald Trump.
He wasn’t the only rapper at the event either, as Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and Soulja Boy all made appearances as well.
While speaking with Willie D Live afterward, Nelly addressed the backlash he received for doing so. “I thought you were riding for me because I put on on for my city, I didn’t know that I had to agree with your political choices,” Nelly said. “I thought it was the things you do (that count). Not the things you say should be done. If you follow what I do, this shouldn’t even be an argument. He’s the president. He won.”
