Grammy-winning, multi-platinum hip-hop artist Nelly‘s hotly-anticipated sixth album, 5.0 has finally hit the stores and iTunes this week. And Nelly has done nothing but celebrate by hitting every talk show in town including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tonight Show, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Chelsea Lately.
Today, he appeared at The Grove for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra, and he had the crowd going insane. There were kids, teens, parents and grandparents in the crowd begging Nelly for a picture and Nelly did not disappoint a single soul. It was truly a sight to see.
Co-produced by Jim Jonsin and Rico Love, “Just a Dream,” the first single off of 5.0, has already sold 2.5 million units, making it Nelly’s best-selling digital single of all time.
“Just a Dream” is currently No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Songs chart, No. 1 on Billboard’s Ringtones chart, and No. 1 on iTunes’ Top Hip Hop/Rap songs chart. Not too shabby. But if all that weren’t enough, the music video for “Just a Dream” has already exceeded 20 million views on VEVO.
Nelly did not perform at The Grove, but below are some pictures from the Extra interview you can enjoy! Also, here is Nelly’s performance of his hit single from Jimmy Kimmel Live:
