I mean PERSONALLY if you ask ME, she's never really been gone (Whoa, Nelly! always platinum in this house 😤). But the tail end of 2023 definitely started to usher in a new little era for our favourite Portuguese-Canadian promiscuous girl. I'll recap: 👇
In 2023, Nelly finally said LET THERE BE SONGS! and gave us "Eat Your Man" with Dom Dolla and "Keep Going Up" with her OG collaborators Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. After a six year hiatus she thought... okay let me show these girls how it's done.
THEN during the Toronto stop of Drake's 2023 OVO Fest tour, Drake announced Nelly as one of his favourite artists of all time. To which I say, just one of the many things me and Drake have in common (the others being that I also live in Toronto and have a decades-long crush on Rihanna).
