A longtime Ashanti fan page, Ashanti News, announced that it would no longer be covering the R&B star following the news that her husband and baby’s father, Nelly, will be performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration ball.

“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. It’s beyond disappointing,” the statement reads. “For over 20 years it’s been amazing connecting Ashanti fans around the world and sharing news, videos and photos. I will miss a lot of you! Take care.”

The fan page has been covering Ashanti’s career since 2002 and has over 110,000 followers on Instagram alone.

Nelly has defended his decision to perform at the event.

“I’m not doing this for money. I’m doing this ’cause it’s an honor. I respect the office,” he told Willie D.

Nelly has faced massive backlash from fans and from the hip-hop community.

“It don’t matter who is in office. The same way that our men and women, our brothers and sisters who protect this country, have to go to war and have to put their life on the line for whoever in office,” the rapper, who was born on a military base, continued.  So, if they can put their life on the line for whoever in office, I can damn sure perform for whoever in office.”
