Hip-hop legend Nelly turned up the heat in New Orleans during Super Bowl Week, delivering a high-energy performance at h.wood’s “Homecoming” concert on Friday night (Feb. 7). The exclusive event, held at the iconic Brennan’s, drew an A-list crowd, with fans rushing the stage and celebrities soaking in the vibes.
NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and actor Jaleel White kicked back in VIP, while hype-man extraordinaire Flavor Flav scored a prime spot onstage, capturing the unforgettable moment.
Before Nelly took over, The Chainsmokers kept the crowd hyped with their biggest hits, including “Closer” and “Roses.”
Once Nelly hit the stage, the energy skyrocketed. The multi-Grammy-winning icon ran through a setlist packed with classics, dropping bangers like “Ride Wit Me,” “E.I.,” and “Air Force Ones.” Fans erupted when he performed his 2003 Grammy-winning hit “Dilemma,” with the crowd passionately singing Kelly Rowland’s unforgettable chorus. Of course, he couldn’t leave without performing his ultimate party anthem, “Hot in Herre.”
The “Homecoming” show was just one of many high-profile concerts lighting up New Orleans ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl showdown on Sunday.
With a star-studded audience, legendary hits, and an electric atmosphere, Nelly once again proved why he’s a hip-hop icon.
