Nelly, the multi-platinum artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actor, has continuously pushed the boundaries of the entertainment industry since his debut in 2000. His distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality have set him apart, and his collaborations have earned him the prestigious Diamond status. Notably, his collaboration with Florida Georgia Line marks him as one of only seven rappers to achieve this honor.
Nelly is the first hip-hop artist to collaborate with multiple symphonies nationwide and has showcased his acting chops by playing himself in BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood alongside Kevin Hart.
Nelly’s music journey began in 1993, garnering him a record deal with Universal Records. His breakthrough came with the release of “Country Grammar” in 2000, spending seven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and generating hits like “Ride Wit Me,” “Country Grammar,” and “E.I.” The album earned him four Grammy Award nominations and sold over nine million copies worldwide.
Following the success of “Country Grammar,” Nelly continued to dominate the charts with the 2002 release of “Nellyville.” The album debuted at #1 and secured Nelly his first two Grammy Awards for “Hot in Here” and “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland. “Nellyville” was certified 6x multi-platinum by the RIAA.
The rap icon’s impact on the industry continued with the simultaneous release of “Sweat” and “Suit” in 2004. The slow ballad “Over and Over,” a duet with Tim McGraw, became a crossover hit. Subsequent albums, including “Brass Knuckles,” “5.0,” and “M.O.,” further solidified Nelly’s standing as one of the best-selling rap artists in American music history.
Nelly’s versatility is evident in his forays into fashion with the introduction of the women’s clothing line, Apple Bottoms, and the men’s clothing line, Vokal. His energy drink, Pimp Juice, and collaboration with Nike on the “Air Derrty” limited edition sneaker showcase his influence beyond the music realm.
In the film industry, Nelly made his big screen debut in the 2005 hit remake “The Longest Yard” alongside Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. His on-screen presence expanded with recurring roles on CSI: NY and a cameo on 90210. In 2013, Nelly joined Kevin Hart’s acclaimed show, “Real Husbands of Hollywood,” earning two NAACP awards.
Beyond entertainment, Nelly is deeply committed to philanthropy including Make a Wish.
