Nelly brought his unique St. Louis style to a famous New Orleans restaurant, turning it into a lively party for Super Bowl week. On Friday night, the multi-Grammy award-winning artist took the stage at the iconic Brennan’s, delivering a performance full of his greatest hits.
Fans packed the venue as former NFL star Shannon Sharpe and actor Jaleel White enjoyed the show from the VIP section. Flavor Flav was also in attendance, taking in the excitement from a prime spot on stage. Before Nelly’s set, the Chainsmokers warmed up the crowd with popular tracks like “Closer” and “Roses.”
As Nelly appeared, the energy in the room surged. Many fans rushed to the front, eager to capture moments on their phones. The rapper treated the audience to favorites such as “Ride Wit Me,” “E.I.,” and “Air Force Ones.” The crowd passionately sang along to the Grammy-winning “Dilemma,” featuring Kelly Rowland, as well as the hit “Hot in Here,” which also won a Grammy in the same year.
This concert was part of a vibrant night of entertainment across New Orleans, leading up to the big game where the Kansas City Chiefs were set to face the Philadelphia Eagles.
In another festive event, Shaquille O’Neal hosted Shaq’s Funhouse, featuring performances from Ludacris and John Summit.
