Trump world continues to build its unique connection to artists in the rap world, as “Seen, Heard & Whispered” has learned that Grammy-winning artist Nelly will give a special performance at the Executive Branch, the Washington club owned by President Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr.
The show is for club members — who reportedly pay about $500,000 to join the exclusive Georgetown establishment — and will take place April 24, the night before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Nelly is known for hits “Air Force Ones,” “Hot in Herre” and “Country Grammar.”
Akon, another rapper, performed at an invite-only party following the premiere of “Melania,” the documentary on first lady Melania Trump.
And the president has forged a fascinating relationship with Nicki Minaj, yet another rapper, who appeared at the White House in January to back the new Trump savings accounts for children. Ms. Minaj called herself the president’s No. 1 fan.
During his first term, Mr. Trump hosted Kanye West at the White House, where the rapper wore a red Make America Great Again hat and opined on everything from sentencing reform to the president’s “male energy.”
