The celebrities who have attended the 2024 RNC
(NEXSTAR) — The Republican National Convention has brought thousands of visitors to Milwaukee this week, including a handful of celebrities.
Here’s a look at the celebrities who have spoken, performed, or appeared at the RNC, as of Wednesday.
Amber Rose
Model and rapper Amber Rose spoke during the RNC’s first day, endorsing Trump. She explained she had “let go of [her] fear” of being judged for supporting the former president after initially thinking he was racist.

Lee Greenwood
Singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood has also been in Milwaukee, coming early at Trump’s request.
“We were not supposed to be here on Monday. After the assassination attempt, Trump changed his demeanor,” Greenwood told Nexstar. “That’s why [the first night] was so powerful and emotional because he made the appearance, his favorite singer was here to sing for him, and I did the song that everyone knows I was going to sing.”

Also in attendance for the first night of the Republican National Convention was Chris Janson, who performed his songs “Buy Me A Boat” and “All American Guy.” Eight years ago, Janson performed at the 2016 RNC, singing “Trump Yeah!”

The British actor and comedian posted to Instagram that he was doing his Rumble show live from Media Row at the RNC, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. Russell Brand was also set to perform two shows in the area, one on Monday and the other on Wednesday.

Savannah Chrisley
The daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, the reality TV stars previously convicted on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion, spoke during the second night of the RNC. During her speech, Savannah said, “We have a two-faced justice system,” elaborating: “Just look at what they are doing Trump … while Hunter Biden is roaming around free.”
Last month, a judge called for Julie Chrisley to be re-sentenced, explaining in court documents that it could not independently find evidence to hold her accountable for losses incurred before 2007.

There was initially speculation that rapper 50 Cent would appear at the RNC after social media users began connecting his song, “Many Men,” with images of Trump after the attempted assassination on Saturday.
As The Hill previously reported, a representative for 50 Cent said Monday that he would not attend as he would “be in Shreveport preparing for his Humor and Harmony upcoming festival” scheduled for next month.
