"You dishonor these people when you go and perform for this man, this man who did nothing but dishonor black people."
Hostin was critical of rappers Snoop Dogg and Nelly for performing for Trump. Soulja Boy as well as others also performed during inauguration activities. Hostin showed a clip of former Bill Clinton aide Keith Boykin saying, "You dishonor these people when you go and perform for this man who did nothing but dishonor black people."
Hostin said that claim from Boykin was "so important for us to remember. That this is who Donald Trump is." In Boykin's comments, he listed off allegations of Trump discriminating against black people in the past.
Boykin claimed, "If you look at Donald Trump, the man who would refuse to rent to black people in the 1970s, who tried to lead a lynch mob against five black and brown kids in the 1980s for the Central Park case, who refused to allow black casino workers to have a prominent place in his casinos in Atlantic City in the 1990s, who spent five and a half years lying about Barack Obama's birth certificate in the 2000s, who came into office and then attacked black people like Colin Kaepernick, who attacked Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shay Moss for simply doing their jobs as Fulton County election workers, you dishonor those people when you go and perform for this man, this man who has done nothing but dishonor black people."
Snoop Dogg, Soulja Boy, as well as Rick Ross all took to the stage on Saturday evening in Washington DC at the Crypto Ball that was thrown in celebration of Trump's friendly policy towards cryptocurrency. Nelly then also performed at Trump's Liberty Ball on Monday.
Nelly got some backlash online after the event from some fans, but responded, saying, "I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this 'cause it’s an honor. I respect the office."
