Two major hip-hop artists, Ludacris and Nelly, have joined the roster for the newly announced “MAGA Music Fest” — a move that’s sparked discussion across the culture. While the festival’s title signals clear political overtones, its inclusion of artists traditionally associated with mainstream music has fans talking about the intersection of hip-hop and political platforms.
Critics and fans are divided: some see the booking as a bold move into unconventional territory for both artists, while others question how participation in politically branded events affects an artist’s cultural identity and community resonance.
Regardless of perspective, Ludacris and Nelly’s involvement ensures the event will draw major attention — both from music fans and cultural commentators alike.
