NELLY: NOT AS DANGEROUS AS HE LOOKS

Nelly has never been the gangster rapper that some people assumed he was. The fact that he’s appearing on Dancing with the Stars should validate that fact. We met Nelly over 16 years ago when he filmed part of a music video at our house. He was slim and cute and surprisingly well spoken- we got the feeling he wanted to be more of a bad boy than he really WAS. (In those days rappers were mostly from the east or west coast – not the midwest, like Nelly.) Fast forward to today – he’s a fierce looking muscleman and he has raised four kids of his own…and he DANCES.

P DIDDY DISS, BUT ALONG CAME NELLY

P. Diddy and a few buddies were upstairs in the VIP room at Tao in Sundance when he spotted a sexy girl down in the middle of the crowded dancefloor having a wonderful time. Diddy pointed her out to his companion and sent the guy down to get her. The friend obediently brought her upstairs and introduced her to Diddy. Apparently he wasn’t impressed with her up close, because Diddy said hello, looked her over, and turned his attention elsewhere. Feeling rejected, the girl stood alone by the stairs, looking unhappy and unsure of what to do. Just in time, Nelly arrived with Eddie Murphy. Nelly eyed the girl and immediately chatted her up – they spent the rest of the evening together. Good things DO happen!
