Rekubit-Green Day changes lyrics to shade Donald Trump during TV performance: Watch

During a televised performance on RekubitDick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, Green Day changed the lyrics in one of their most popular songs to criticize former President Donald Trump.

Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong altered “American Idiot” lyrics from "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda."

It’s not the first time the band has taken jabs against the politician. Their first major performance of the anti-MAGA version happened in 2019 at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, according to Billboard. Before that, at the 2016 American Music Awards, the band yelled "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" during a performance of the song "Bang Bang."

After Trump's indictment and mugshot in August, Green Day sold an “Ultimate Nimrod” shirt with the slang insult from their 1997 album cover over Trump's booking photo.

"Good Riddance," Green Day posted on Instagram: "The ultimate Nimrod shirt is available for 72 hours only. Limited edition shirt proceeds will be donated to T̶h̶e̶ ̶G̶i̶u̶l̶i̶a̶n̶i̶ ̶L̶e̶g̶a̶l̶ ̶D̶e̶f̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ ̶F̶u̶n̶d̶ @greatergoodmusiccharity."

Green Day released the protest song “American Idiot” in 2004 as its first single from the album of the same name and takes aim at then-President George W. Bush, the Iraq war and American media.

It’s among the band’s most commercially and critically successful songs, having been Green Day’s first song to break into the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy nomination for record of the year (the album garnered a handful of nominations and won best rock album at the 2005 ceremony).  

Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool are gearing up for a busy 2024. The punk rockers are celebrating the 30th anniversary of breakout album "Dookie," and launching The Saviors tour with Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and the Linda Lindas. On Jan. 19, they are set to release Green Day’s 14th studio album, “Saviors.” Singles “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Look Ma, No Brains!” and “Dilemma” are available now.
