The musician also took the opportunity to remind the former First Lady of his own participation in the Youth Inaugural Ball following then-President Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009.

Of course we get into it and we’re going through the due diligence to get it done and, God bless them, here comes the Secret Service and they’re like, yeah, we can’t light off fireworks or big pyrotechnics. I’m not sure we can have strippers on poles. But we still got something very special planned," he teased.
