Singer R. Kelly has sought to put an end to rumors circulating online that he would be performing at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration with a statement on his Twitter account Thursday.<\/p>\n
“R. Kelly will not be performing at this years inauguration,” the statement said, calling reports stating otherwise “untrue.” Kelly prefaced the statement with an emphatic “End. Of. Story.”<\/p>\n
Rumors had been circulating on Twitter for several days speculating that Kelly would be among the list of performers at Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, which includes The Rockettes, Jackie Evancho and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.<\/p>\n
Inauguration of Donald Trump’s government which has been set 20th January, has been dogged by controversy, with stars allegedly asked to perform publicly rejecting the offer.<\/p>\n
The line-up isn’t, so far, anywhere near as star-studded as Barack Obama’s two.<\/p>\n
It is well-known that a large number of A-list celebrities strongly dislike Mr Trump, as they criticise him in public and he often returns the favour.<\/p>\n
Boris Epshteyn, director of communications for the Inaugural Committee, dismissed concerns about a modest line-up in an interview on CNN in December.<\/p>\n
“This is not Woodstock,” Epshteyn said. “It’s not summer jam. It’s not a concert.”<\/p>\n
