  • Village People, the American disco group whose hits like "Y.M.C.A" have been staples at Trump rallies, defended their decision to perform during Trump's inauguration.

The Village People, known for their hit song "Y.M.C.A.," have defended their decision to perform at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, despite criticism from some fans and observers. The band's manager, Karen Willis, clarified that only two members of the group, Victor Willis and his wife, performed at the event, not the entire band. Victor Willis, who co-wrote "Y.M.C.A.," stated that the performance was not a political endorsement but rather a private gig for which they were paid. He emphasized that the band has performed for various political figures in the past, including President Joe Biden, and they do not align themselves with any political party. The controversy stems from Trump's use of "Y.M.C.A." at his rallies, which has led to public debate over the song's association with political figures.
