Nelly recently shared a surprising story about his long-standing friendship with Taylor Swift, which dates back over 15 years. Swift once flew Nelly from St. Louis to Houston for a surprise guest performance of his hit song "Hot in Herre" during her Speak Now World Tour in November 2011. She offered him his own private jet, a presidential suite, and $50,000 for the appearance. Nelly humorously recalled asking if the money could be put in a McDonald's bag, accepting the offer readily. After the performance, he received the cash in a McDonald's bag and returned home via private jet with his family. The duo has maintained contact, with Nelly and Ashanti attending Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding in July. They previously collaborated on stage in 2013 and 2015.
