NELLY
The Student Activities Association announced Wednesday afternoon that Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly will be replacing Jason Derulo at Friday evening’s concert after Derulo canceled his appearance on account of a death in the family.
A native of St. Louis, Nelly will perform at 8:30 p.m.
“We are very excited to welcome Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly to the Grove this Friday,” said Carly Eason, executive director of the Student Activities Association. “We have received a very positive response from the students of Ole Miss since our announcement, and we hope to see everyone in the Grove on Friday at 8:30 p.m. Our condolences go out to Jason Derulo and his family at this time.”
Nelly is currently ranked as the fourth-best-selling rap artist in American music history by RIAA and has sold more than 21 million albums.
He has also been featured onscreen in “The Longest Yard” and “CSI: NY.”
Joining Nelly are special guests Travis Porter and Fly Panda. The concert is free and open to the university community and guests.
