Janelle Monáe criticized Nelly during a Grammys afterparty performance, accusing him of 'selling out' for performing at Donald Trump's inauguration.
The remarks came during an impromptu rendition of Nelly's song 'Hot in Herre,' where Monáe altered the lyrics to voice her disapproval.
Nelly defended his decision to perform at the event, stating it was about respecting the office of the president rather than endorsing Trump's politics.
Monáe, known for her political activism, has previously spoken out against Trump's policies, including at the 2017 Women's March.
The afterparty capped off a politically charged Grammys night, with several artists, including Alicia Keys, addressing issues of diversity and inclusion.
