Nelly

Nelly (born Cornell Haynes Jr. in Austin, Texas on November 2, 1974) is a successful American hip-hop artist who rose to fame in 2000.

A self-described "army brat," Nelly spent the first few years of his life living in Spain before moving to St. Louis, Missouri. Nelly's parents divorced when he was eight years old. Nelly admitted he used to get into a lot of fights but by the time he started high school he was into baseball instead.[1] Although he had a promising baseball career, he decided to try his hand at music instead, forming the St. Lunatics with several neighborhood friends. He first came to mainstream audiences with Country Grammar (2000) and released Free City with the St. Lunatics in 2001. Country Grammar turned out to become a mainstream success that set the stage for his breakthrough album, Nellyville. Nellyville established him as one of the most famous rappers in the early 2000s, with an image of being equal parts handsome boy-next-door and tough gangsta. From the beginnings of his pop career, the lyrics of "Country Grammar" explored this dichotomy, posing the question: "Who says pretty boys can't be wild niggaz?" and containing references to gun violence and drug use while also sending shoutouts to billionaires Bill Gates and Donald Trump, as well as fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter.

The 2002 single "Hot in Herre" was also tremendously popular, as was its follow-up, "Dilemma," which featured vocals by Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child.

At the 45th annual Grammy Awards Nelly received two Grammys for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and shared a Grammy with Kelly Rowland for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

In early 2003, Nelly released the controversial single, "Air Force Ones". MTV, MTV2, MuchMusic, and VH1 refused to air the video due to product placement for Nike's popular sneakers of the same name. BET, however, played it. ( Nike and Nelly agreed on a 1 year deal contract in 2003 to release a limited-edition sneaker called the "Air Derrty" which was a retro remake of Charles Barkley's signature sneaker the Nike Air Max2 CB '94 which was released on June 13, 2003 at select NIKEtown stores. Limited to 1,000 pairs.)

The following year in 2004 Nelly won his third Grammy this time for his number one hit single "Shake Ya Tailfeather". On September 14, 2004, Nelly released two albums simultaneously, Sweat and Suit. Suit, an R&B-oriented album, debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart and Sweat, a rap-oriented album, debuted at #2 on the same week. From the Suit album, the slow ballad "Over and Over", an unlikely duet with country music star Tim McGraw, became another crossover hit. Nelly performed the song with McGraw on the latter's CBS Television concert special in 2004. Nelly is also part owner of the NBA expansion team Charlotte Bobcats with BET founder Robert Johnson as of 2005.

Even though Nelly's albums are classified as "Rap", he performs these songs in a melodic manner. References in similarity can be drawn to Ja Rule and more recently 50 Cent, who both tend to "flow" in the same melodic manner.

Nelly used to be seen always with a white bandage on his left cheek, which he no longer wears. It was in remembrance of his brother who was in jail at the time. Most of his music videos feature Nelly wearing the St. Louis Cardinals logo, his favorite baseball team.

Nelly is also a co-sponsor of the non-carbonated sports energy drink, Pimpjuice. The company also holds many contests, many of which have prizes to be able to meet him in person.

Nelly has a daughter named Chanel (born in 1994), and a son, Cornell III "Tre" (born in 1999).

He started his own clothing line called Vokal before his music career took off, and he and his crew have often had its logo featured prominently on their clothing in music videos and public appearances. He also has a clothing line for women called apple bottoms

In 2001, Nelly's sister Jacqueline "Jackie" Donahue was diagnosed with leukemia. In 2003, Nelly and Jackie started the Jes Us 4 Jackie campaign, a search for a bone marrow donor. The search was unsuccessful, and Jackie died March 24, 2005, of complications from leukemia. Nelly has continued charity work related to this illness in her memory.

Nelly is currently dating R&B singer Ashanti.

The American Meteorological Society has reported that matching snow crystals were discovered by Nancy Knight of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. In 2001, Nelly's sister Jacqueline "Jackie" Donahue was diagnosed with leukemia. In a more pragmatic sense, it's more likely, albeit not much more, that a pair of snowflakes are visually identical if their environments were similar enough, either because they grew very near one another, or simply by chance. He also has a clothing line for women called apple bottoms. Strictly speaking, it is extremely unlikely for any two objects in the universe to contain an identical molecular structure; but, there are, nontheless, no known scientific laws which prevent it. He started his own clothing line called Vokal before his music career took off, and he and his crew have often had its logo featured prominently on their clothing in music videos and public appearances. However, the concept that no two snowflakes are alike is not necessarily true.

Nelly has a daughter named Chanel (born in 1994), and a son, Cornell III "Tre" (born in 1999). The difference in the environment in scales larger than a snowflake leads to the observed lack of correlation between the shapes of different snowflakes. The company also holds many contests, many of which have prizes to be able to meet him in person. This environment is believed to be relatively spatially homogenous on the scale of a single flake, leading to the arms growing to a high level of visual similarity by responding in identical ways to identical conditions, much in the same way that unrelated trees respond to environmental changes by growing near-identical sets of tree rings. Nelly is also a co-sponsor of the non-carbonated sports energy drink, Pimpjuice. The other explanation, which appears to be the prevalent view, is that the arms of a snowflake grow independently in an environment that is believed to be rapidly varying in temperature, humidity and so on.
