The American Music Awards on Sunday brought with it a number of surprises. Music fans were in for a treat as after months of entertainment blockage due to COVID, the 2020 AMAs provided some relief to the entertainment fatigued.
A night loaded with jaw dropping moments like MGK and Megan Fox’s love loaded rep carpet appearance or Weeknd’s intense bandaged performance. It was indeed a night to remember.
With so much going on, rapper Nelly also surprised fans and viewers with a surprise medley performance of his hit tracks like “Country Grammar,” “E.I.,” and “Ride Wit Me” as a celebration of his diamond-certified studio debut album “Country Grammar” completing 20 years.
Nelly’s performance at the AMAs came a night before the 46-year-old rapper’s finale night of ‘Dancing With The Stars’. Nelly along with his partner Daniella Karagach, has made it to the TOP 4 in the 29th season of the hit dance reality show.
Nelly Net Worth is around $40-$50 Million
Debuting in 2000, with the hit album “Country Grammar”, Nelly has amassed quite a wealth for him in that span of 20 years. The American rapper’s net worth currently sits somewhere in the range of $40 Million to $50 Million.
Post the success of his debut album, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide, the doors of fate were opened for Nelly. Soon the rapper ventured into the world of fashion launching two clothing lines namely “Apple Bottoms” for women and “Vokal” for men.
Nelly also made some money from “Pimp Juice” which he invented and sold as an energy drink. He also owns “Mike and Ikes” candy and has endorsements from a number of brands like VapoRub, Cheetos, Got Milk, etc.
Celebrating 20 years of Country Grammar
Nelly took on to the stage of the American Music Awards on Sunday night to perform to a number of tracks from his debut album Country Grammar.
The performance started off with Cedric the Entertainer introducing Nelly with a phone call before the rapper kicked off the medley. He was soon joined by fellow rapper City Spud.
The performance gave an old school rap vibe as the two rappers danced all over the stage with a relaxed attitude.
