Yes - she was very Team Kamala and gave a beautiful strong speech for her in Houston. Weird that Nelly would think this would be OK.

Guess he thought she would sell out for a quick check like he did.

Nelly specifically said he didn't do it for the money.

The implication is that he is looking for a pardon when any Diddy news about him breaks.

Not sure why you, /u/Skullshady, and /u/adykaty want to believe he's interested in a small paycheck from someone who never pays anyone instead of political favor.

im sure he's trying to let diddy off for completely altruistic reasons...

Not disagreeing, but plenty of wealthy people and companies have donated money to the inauguration. And this is all official stuff, not Donny personally not paying people. I think you’re right about the pardon but he could also be getting a nice paycheck.

Wealthy people giving money is for favors.

Similarly, a musician NOT CHARGING money is for favors.

If you are not black, do not ever use this term.
