Instagram Page Closes Over Disagreement with Singer’s and Husband’s Support for Trump

In a surprising move, one of Ashanti’s popular fan pages on Instagram, @AshantiNews, has been shut down following the backlash against her husband Nelly’s performance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony. The account, which had been dedicated to connecting Ashanti’s fans for over 20 years, posted a heartfelt message explaining the decision to close.

“In light of recent news about Nelly and the decisions he has made… I can no longer run @AshantiNews or support The Haynes in the direction they are going,” the post read. “It’s beyond disappointing.” The fan page expressed its disappointment with Nelly’s performance at the inauguration, which led to a wave of criticism for the couple.

Nelly has since defended his decision to perform at the event, stating that his participation was an honor, regardless of political affiliation. “It’s not about money. It’s about respect for the office,” he explained in an interview. “If our brothers and sisters can go to war for whoever is in office, I can perform for whoever is in office.”

This controversy follows similar criticism aimed at other artists, including Soulja Boy, who also performed at a Trump-related event and faced public scrutiny.

Speaking to Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Ashanti cleared the air. “I saw a lot of comments,” she revealed. “My reaction was ‘Wow’, you know?

What I will say is we’re in a better place, because before it was like [*makes punching movements] but, you know, we’re cool now… We had some conversations so it was cool.”
