He will be on an arena tour with janet jackson this summer.
Hot in Here still goes.
Nelly stills streams 19 million monthly on spotify, people are still playing his music. Ludacris streams are only at 6 million monthly.
Yup, along with dilemma and ride with me
Miscalculation by his team. They thought bc Nelly songs get played at college bars that college kids would come. Them mfers don’t know who make that song
White people love Nelly and not the songs you’d think. ‘If you wanna ride with me’ is their Back Dat ass up
Reminds me of people wondering why Jeezy’s Tiny Desk got the crowd response he did and it was cause everybody in there were 18-22 year old college students who weren’t even in elementary when Thug Motivation 101 dropped.

It's also about having a REAL fanbase. And it's sadly apparent Nelly never really had that. I remember in 2006 I went to Cats Credle in Chapel HIll to see Rakim perform with Brother Ali opening for him. This was 20 years after Rakim came out. The place was packed from front to back and you couldn't move in that mf. I got there hours before the show just to stand front row. Some people will only just listen to you because everyone else is. Then if the powers that be tell people to stop fukking with an artists, dumb ass , fake ass fans will do it. Not long ago , Da Baby was one of the hottest rappers out. His music was trash as fukk then just as it is now. People stopped listening to him strictly cuz the gay mafia told them to. hahaha. I wouldn't want these type of sheep as my fans.
yeah. Nelly sold over 17 million his first 2 albums. When his 3rd/4th album came out on the same day and sold "only" 4 million, that was considered a flop. Jay Z's best selling album was 5 million and nelly selling 4 million was considered a flop. Nelly was over with the white crowd. Dude had a song with Nsync and performed at the super bowl during his peak.
