W. Kamau Bell, the Emmy-winning comedian, has opted to maintain his association with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, despite a wave of entertainers cutting ties since President Trump took charge. Bell clarified that his scheduled performances were booked before any political implications arose, stating, "this was not connected to any of this." He acknowledges the controversy surrounding Trump's board appointments, which include figures seen as aligned with his administration's ideology, while other artists like Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae have stepped back from their ties.
"So like, this was not connected to any of this."
