NELLY - DA DERRTY VERSIONS (The Reinvention)
Most recently, through 4sho4kids, Nelly and his sister Jackie Donahue launched a national campaign, Jes Us 4 Jackie, to find a bone marrow match for Jackie, who has leukemia. Part of their goal is to increase awareness about the disease within the African-American community and create awareness about marrow transplants and the importance of donors. "I moved around a lot when I was growing up, and I want to help kids, so they might not have it as hard as I did," says Haynes.
In addition to the entertainment company and charity, Nelly is also growing into a successful entrepreneur. He has found success with his multi-million dollar clothing company, Vokal, and recently launched a women's line called Applebottoms. Nelly not only co-owns the clothing companies, he designs and is active in promoting and marketing the brands. "You could say I started Vokal when I was making and selling t-shirts with my cousin in St. Louis, way back before the St. Lunatics really got off the ground," says Nelly.
But with Da Derrty Versions (The Reinvention), Nelly, a baseball, basketball and all-around sports enthusiast, once again demonstrates his main love: music. And the shining sensation from the Midwest reinvents that which spins: a remix record that transcends the genre.page << 1 2 3 4 5 >>
