Her comments come after numerous artists turned down invitations to perform, including Charlotte Church and Moby, and others pulled out at the last minute, including Jennifer Holliday and a Bruce Springsteen cover band.
Banks would be a natural fit for the performance, giving some of her past comments have been equally as controversial as the incoming President's.
Banks has said a number of vulgar and inappropriate things in recent years, including saying Sarah Palin should be raped, aiming homophobic and Islamaphobic slurs at Zayn Malik, accusing Russell Crowe of attacking her and claiming she sacrifices chickens for fun.
She has also been under investigation twice by police, including being arrested for attacking a security guard.
Given the desperation for a headline act, don't be surprised if Banks does end up playing the inauguration this Saturday.
