The Village People and President-elect Donald Trump have apparently buried the hatchet. On Monday, lead singer Victor Willis — the iconic disco-music group’s San Diego-based founder and leader — announced Village People had accepted an invitation to perform at multiple Trump inauguration events next week,

The Village People’s appearance at the Trump rally underscores his political comeback, even among his one-time nemeses—its manager Karen Willis, wife of band member Victor Willis, sent Trump’s lawyer a cease-and-desist letter after he was filmed dancing to “Macho Man” at Mar-A-Lago in 2023, Rolling Stone reported.

The president-elect hosted the “Make American Great Again Victory Rally” at Washington’s Capital One Arena on Sunday, less than 24 hours before Inauguration Day. As Trump ended his final speech before taking the White House for a second term, the band Village People came on stage to perform their 1978 disco hit “Y.M.C.A.” live.

A founding member of the Village People has received threats and hate mail from Democrats over the band’s decision to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration events.

Trump praised for Village People’s comeback 'Fox News Saturday Night' host Jimmy Failla drives FOX Business' Brian Brenberg around New York City in his taxi cab while they dish on President-elect Donald Trump's dancing skills.

For nearly 50 years, when most people thought of the Village People, they thought of gay culture. However, now, the band seems to be mostly relevant due to the use of its songs by upcoming president Donald Trump.
