Jelly Roll & Nelly \u2018Hot in Herre\u2019 collab has fans losing their minds Youtube: Grand Ole OpryDuring The Big 98\u2019s Friendsgiving concert at the Grand Ole Opry on November 21, country star Jelly Roll brought out rapper Nelly for an unexpected collaboration, and fans are losing their minds. Jelly Roll started his career in hip hop and selling mixtapes out of his trunk. His roots run deep, even if he\u2019s traded bars for sensitive songwriting. Despite the genre switcheroo, his country career seems to be working out. He not only walked away with the CMA for New Artist of the Year but landed a major Grammy nomination in 2023. He competes in Best New Artist alongside Ice Spice, Victoria Mon\u00e9t, and more. Even though he\u2019s left hip-hop (mostly) behind, he remains indebted to the genre that taught him about life, love, and music. Jelly Roll collabs with Nelly, and fans aren\u2019t holding back The Big 98\u2019s Friendsgiving concert at the Grand Ole Opry proved to be a real treat. Jelly Roll fans flocked to the show, but no one could have expected a surprise appearance from rapper Nelly. Nelly isn\u2019t a stranger to country music, of course; he\u2019s previously collaborated with Tim McGraw and Florida Georgia Line. But this new collaboration threw fans for a complete loop. In the comments of a now-viral TikTok, fans couldn\u2019t hold back their excitement. \u201cNot a big Jelly Roll fan but love how he\u2019s bringing culture together with stuff like this,\u201d said one fan. Nelly at the Opry is \u201csomething I didn\u2019t know I needed to see,\u201d wrote another. \u201cHip-hop at the Grand Ole Opry is breaking barriers,\u201d declared a fan. \u201cI love every minute of it.\u201d \u201cIf I was an artist I swear bringing out other artists and announcing them and surprising the crowd would be my favorite,\u201d wrote EJ Griffith. Tommy Lorenz admitted to being a long-term fan, from back in Jelly Roll\u2019s hip-hop days, applauding, \u201cI\u2019m glad he finally made it but I never thought it would be for country music.\u201d Another user pointed out the \u201csuper cool\u201d energy of the performance while noting how \u201cNelly is a just an all around nice guy,\u201d they wrote. Whether a recorded collaboration comes out of this moment is unclear. But what is most evident is their chemistry performing together. If they were to record, it\u2019s guaranteed to be a hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
