Comedian DL Hughley weighed in on rapper Nelly’s comments defending his performance at a Trump event by citing his marriage to a Black woman and having Black children. Hughley criticized Nelly for overlooking the broader impact of Trump’s policies on the Black community. Pointing to job losses disproportionately affecting Black Americans and the erosion of Black history, Hughley emphasized that personal relationships don’t negate the damage caused. He also challenged Nelly’s respect claim for the office of the presidency, citing Trump’s divisive actions and disrespect toward veterans. Hughley underscored the ongoing struggles faced by Black Americans, including symbolic gestures like the stalled inclusion of Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. He acknowledged artists’ right to make their choices but called out the disconnect between personal affiliations and the wider consequences on Black lives during the Trump era.
