AceShowbiz - Rapper Flo Rida has reportedly agreed to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration for $1 million. Radar Online reported on Thursday, January 12, "A source close to rapper Flo Rida tells Radar he's set to perform at the inauguration, and will even get $1 million for it!" The site also noted that the rapper accepted the offer because he owed an estimated $1.2 million in tax liens from 2014.
The 37-year-old rapper was slated to perform at the 2015 Miss USA pageant but bailed on the event after Trump made comments about Mexicans being "rapist." Although the rapper didn't say anything anti-Trump at the time, his decision to cancel the performance was linked to Trump's comments.
However, Gossip Cop debunks Radar Online's claim as a rep for Flo Rida confirms that the rapper will not perform at Trump's inauguration. The rep says the story run by Radar Online is "false."
A bunch of musicians have refused to perform at Trump's inauguration, which will be held on Friday, January 20 in Washington, D.C. Among them are Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion and Garth Brooks. Even music producer David Foster declined the offer to organize Trump's inauguration musical show.
Trump said that he didn't want A-list celebrities at his inauguration as he tweeted, "The so-called 'A' list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary [Clinton], NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!" Organizers on his committee seemed to feel the same way as Boris Epshteyn, a spokesman for the committee, told CNN in December, "This [inauguration] is not Woodstock. It's not summer jam. It's not a concert."
So far, the only confirmed artists to perform at the event are 2010's "America's Got Talent" runner-up Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Rockettes.
