[edit] Table
Hey everyone. Smart people, could you try and fix the problem with the table for Nelly's discorgraphy? It's annoying me. And who did it?
[edit] His Future
Hey, I know most people wouldn't know this, but does anyone know if, or when he's releasing a new album? Like, after Sweatsuit. If anyone knows, tell me please!!
Hey, Nelly's next album is to be called N.E.L.L.Y. Woop Woop! Nelly Rox!
[edit] His Name
Could someone add an explanation of his name ("Nelly")? I've long been curious what made him choose that rather interesting name. -- George 04:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
??? Really...cause his name is Cornell...and it doesn't get much more simple than that, lol. Richard Corey 17:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- Well there we go. I somehow missed that obvious fact. I always found it an odd choice because "nelly," of course, is "a disparaging term for an effeminate homosexual man" (American Heritage Dictionary). I'm surprised there have been relatively few jokes about that, though I guess the word isn't in common use anymore. --George 14:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The bandage
What's the deal with it? Why does he wear it? --137.205.139.54 14:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- According to this Nelly got it from a cut while playing basketball. He wears the band aid because it's a symbol that his jailed brother City Spud can recognize when he sees him on T.V. I'm not sure if he still wears the band aid though.-RomeW 10:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
He doesn't wear the band-aid anymore, in his song "Na-Nana-Na" Featuring Jazze Pha , it says at the end of the first verse, "And I got so damn cocky I took that band-aid Off!"
[edit] Other
Just a question...why was the information about "Pimp Juice" taken out of the article? Is it too new to report on just yet?
- Well, User:Zoe removed it, so only she can report her reasons, but I'll take a guess. Saying that something is "currently climbing up the charts" is mildly POV because it implies that the climbing will continue and some observers feel that Nelly is a talentless hack whose 15 minutes are already over. More importantly than that relatively minor issue is that it dates the article -- only a few really, really big singles "climb up the charts" for more than a few weeks. Wikipedia is not a source for current chart information. The fact that it was released can be added, preferably with a date or some other kinda info about it, and once it is no longer climbing up the charts, its peak rank can be added. Tuf-Kat
- Thanks, TUF, yes, that was my reasoning exactly. -- Zoe
I read someone that Nelly is dating Ashanti is that old news or new? Just want to say that I love the song "MY PlACE" It was tastefully done. I don't watch the the videos that girls shaking there fanny all over the place. But this Video I definately have it recorded it on my dvd recorder and listen to it on repeat on my pocket pc. --Mzb 08:47, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Odd--no one ever re-added the info on "Pimp Juice", so I don't follow Zoe's logic, even 18 months later.172.145.159.139 04:56, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
P.S., it looks like Nelly's 15 minutes are hardly up. Even though "Pimp Juice" failed, "Shake Ya Tailfeather" was a hit this time last year. Murphy Lee has had moderate success, thanks to Nelly, within the past year. He released a remix album early this year, and his current double album seems to be huge--"My Place" is quite possibly his biggest hit in history. I don't see why all this info should not be in there. I'll add it in sooner or later.172.145.159.139 04:59, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Nelly from Texas
Googled Nelly and came up with several different links stating Nelly was born in Austin, moved to Spain and then St. Louis. Changed article to reflect that and added Texas category back. maltmomma 01:51, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)Nelly is my hero me too
I am editing the page to reflect Nelly's St. Louis roots more. He is obviously proud of St. Louis and emphasizing the area he was born in does not give insight into Nelly. His major musical career, pride, and heritage is in St. Louis. Let's make sure people know that...
Another Question... Who is Quinessa Bryant? Has someone just made her up or stuck their own name in there as who Nelly's engaged to? Last I heard he and Ashanti were an item?
[edit] STOP THE SPAM
This is an encyclopaedic article on the person, NOT A GUESTBOOK. This is the talk page for discussing changes to the Nelly article. Also sign your comments with 4 tildes (~). The spam that was on this page (E.G. i really love nelly i just dont like when people talk about how kelly and ashanti go with nelly it make me so mad. i am his #1 fan because 2 is not a winner and 3 nobody remeber.) before has been removed. huntersquid 17:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Mate, You got a point, I hate it when people write all those stupid comments!
[edit] NBA Celebrity All-Star Game MVP
He won it. Would be nice if it showed up in the article. You know just to demonstrate how versatile he is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.142.238.51 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Birth Year is wrong
He is not 32 years old right now. He was born in 1978 not 1974 so he is 28... Obviously if his older sister Jackie died last year at age 31 he could not be 32 now.
No he was born in 1974. He was like a year younger than his sister.
Entry on Texas birth index: Haynes, Cornell Iral M 1974-11-02. --Fallout boy 21:58, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- If the Texas birth index quotes 1974 (as above), why does the main article quote the same source as proving a 1975 birth date ? Anyhow, he was born 2 November 1973, or my name is Nelly. (Please sign your comments. Four tildes (~) is all it takes - thanks)

[edit] UK Number Ones
On the UK Singles Chart he has had 3 number ones (4 if you count his few lines on Nasty Girl by Notorious B.I.G, but then again, pretty much everyone in hip-hop had something to do with that) NOT 5 number ones, and he has not had the most number ones by a rapper in the UK - Eminem has had 6 number ones in the UK. Just to make that clear. --Tyron1 07:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Nelly was def born in 1974 because his daughter is 12 and she was born between his 19 and 20 birthday according to a VHI profile on him
[edit] Feud with KRS-One
Is there a source on this? Also, the paragraph uses some obvious weasle words. 69.156.136.174 03:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm sure he did have a feud with krs-one, because krs-one stands for true and meaningful hip-hop not the crap nelly makes.
[edit] EI means eat it
From what i understood EI meant eat it, a reference to fellatio. While perhaps not the most credible and reliable source, this is also confimed by the first entry for ei in urban dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ei
[edit] Glory
Nelly makes a cameo appearance in the movie "Glory" as a wounded African-American soldier.'
I'm not sure how true this is. Nelly would have been 15 when this movie came out (1989) and I know there were some younger boys playing the band, but most of the soldiers were in their 20s, 30s, 40s. IMDB doesn't list him as being in the cast, even as uncredited. Is there any fact behind this? Morhange 19:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] happy b-day!
happy belated birtday Nelly. You know you my boo! --Pumpkin Pie 00:40, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it was his birthday recently. However, this is an encyclopedia - not a message board, fan club, fansite, or otherwise. He is now 33 years old (see comments above).
