Let’s talk about this recent controversy with Nelly throwing shade at Kamala Harris for marrying Doug Emhoff, a white man.
Nelly went off during a recent interview, saying how Kamala skipped over all the black men out there to marry a white man and this was in relation to her fans tagging him as Pro-Trump.
The drama unfolded when the rapper hit back at accusations he was ‘Pro-Trump’ during a chat on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning podcast – and said his performance was never any indicator of his endorsement of any presidential candidate.
He said: ‘See, this is what I’m saying. Where did you get pro-Donald? What you had was “respect for office.”’
‘And it’s great how people spin narratives to things that I think best fit whatever they’re against. You know what I’m saying? Instead of giving a brother the exact fundamental of what he did, what he said. Nobody’s doing that anymore.’
As fans accused the star of being ‘manipulative’ and resorting to word salad to confuse his audience, Nelly jumped into The Shade Room’s comments section to blast the prosecutor for ‘locking up black men’ as well as taking aim at her ‘white husband’ Doug Emhoff.
Nelly – who recently welcomed a child with singer Ashanti – also slammed fans ‘dumping on black men married to black women’ because Harris lost the election, as well as defending fellow African-American artist Snoop Dogg for performing for Trump.
He wrote: ‘I’ll put whatever up me and snoop do more in the community and have been doing for over 20 + years against any of you that are just on here talking trash and have no stats to back up what you mean to the community…
‘from the black families that we employ to the black children that we help every day and all year through our nonprofits, whether we’re sending kids to schools on scholarships to HBCU or helping young black boys in la “gang central “ with his junior football programs which many players have went on to go to the NFL and live their dreams…
‘and on top of that we are “Black Men” married to beautiful Black women with black children .. should be inspiring to most but that some of y’all have a problem with because the “prosecutor who has probably locked up more black men that we’ve helped woman of color with the white husband and white kids
‘Did not win the election.. again I reiterate, I did not campaign for anyone. I do not tell people who to vote for. 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. ..
‘I’m a military baby with a grand uncle who is a Tuskegee airmen and red tail that was very prideful for his country I told you it’s my respect for the office meaning any president that calls upon Nelly it would be a honor.. nothing to do with money.
‘Nothing to do with race but if you wanna make it about race, then let’s goooooooooooooo I find it very interesting.
‘That’s so many of you would dump on the two black men that’s married to black women that has black children because the ““ woman of color with the white husband and white kids. Didn’t win..!!’
Look, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and preferences when it comes to who they want to marry. But seriously, Nelly? Is it really necessary to call out Kamala for who she chooses to be with? I guess when it comes to politics, no one is spared!
