Nelly will join Jason Aldean and The Village People on the list of performers at the Liberty Ball, an Inaugural Ball for supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. Other performers at Inaugural Week events include Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, and Christopher Macchio, among others.

Nelly also spoke about his experience as a child on a military base in Texas, praising his family members who have served in the U.S. armed forces. “If these people can give [their] life for the office, Nelly can perform,” he said. “It is an honor for me to perform for the president of the United States, regardless of who is in office.”
