It recently made headlines that rapper Nelly owes the Missouri Department of Revenue $149,511 in unpaid taxes. In addition to that, he was also hit with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien last month. Sheesh! Do not fret Nelly fans. A source close to him says he is working with the government to pay off these debts.
Loyal Nelly fans came up with the hashtag #SaveNelly which meant that everyone would stream his 2002 hit single “Hot In Herre” over and over and over again. This came about after it was reported that Nelly would earn between $0.006 and $0.0084 per Spotify stream. If youre not quite good at math, that means, Nelly’s single would have to be streamed between 287,176,547 and 402,880,500 times in order for him to pay off that debt. Fans should also know that not all of that money will go straight to Nelly. One things for sure, Nelly’s fans are beyond LOYAL.
