Nelly has been facing some serious backlash ever since it was revealed that he'd be performing at Donald Trump's inauguration.

He first defended himself while speaking to the Geto Boys' Willie D, saying he chose to perform because he respects the presidency. 

Nelly then doubled down on his decision before performing at the Liberty Ball yesterday.

"I’ve been catching haters my whole career," he said in an interview. "I always try to think forward, and I also try to trust in myself in the sense of when I truly believe that I’m doing what’s right, and I truly believe I have a plan to help get things done."

"I’ve been getting backlash since ‘04 when I decided I wanted to do a song with Tim McGraw," Nelly continued. "When I decided in 2004 when it was kinda unheard of. Now you look at some of the artists that’s come along. There’s Shaboozey. If you look at what The Queen Beyoncé was able to do with Cowboy Carter. I did it in ‘04 when people had a lot of words to say about it."

What do you think about Nelly calling himself a forward thinker?
