In 2016, Nelly’s Country Grammar album and hit song “Cruise” with Florida Georgia Line both achieved Diamond status.

Over his career, Nelly has performed on NBC’s The Voice, The American Music Awards, ABC’s Greatest Hits, and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

Some of his greatest hits include “Hot in Here,” “Dilemma,” “Country Grammar,” “Ride Wit Me,” “Just a Dream,” “Cruise,” and “Millionaire.”
