Rap-Up.com || Behind the Video: Nelly

Nelly gets behind the wheel in the video for “Hey Porsche,” the first single off his upcoming seventh album M.O. The St. Louis rapper shot scenes in the desert outside of L.A. last month. He plays a mechanic working on a classic vintage Porsche, who meets the owner of the shop, a lady of high society. Despite their differences, he’s able to win her over with his charm.

“You have this girl, she’s bad as hell. You have this car and you start to realize they both go together,” explained Nelly. “If you’re lucky enough to have the car and the girl, then you the man.”

The radio-friendly song, which Nelly describes as “a 2013 ‘Ride Wit Me,’” was inspired by his love of cars. “I’m a huge car freak,” he said. “Being from St. Louis, we ride. That’s what we do.”

Director Ethan Lader (Bruno Mars, B.o.B) praised Nelly’s work ethic. “Nelly’s so much fun,” he said. “He’s just a pro. He’s on it, he listens to direction well. He has good ideas. He has good energy on set, which has that ripple effect and trickles down to everybody on crew.”

Nelly is whack!!!! How are you going to sell phony lies about your break-up with Ashanti. Word around Town was that Ashanti broke up with Him because he was cheating on Ashanti with Tae Hackerd(or whatever’s her name). For a several years. Him and Tae are both hewreckas. im not hating because Both women are beautiful but dumb ass sh*t.

@Ant,like nellys bullsh*t story he sold the bogs that Ashanti cheated on him. There’s plenty of proof from Tae that she was messing with Nelly in the beginning of last year via her tweets…calling dude her caveman and saying she will reveal who he is so yes in that case nellu was cheating. He has how many baby mommas… He’s known for creeping.
