BET’s Melyssa Ford, host of BET Style with Big Tigger, is the new spokeswoman for Nelly’s Apple Bottom line of jeans. The part-time model is included in an ad campaign that is already running in various magazines. “When I make public appearances, and when vendors come to buy from the line, I am required to be there wearing the clothes,” she told BET.com. And, while Ford is working closely with the St. Lunatic rapper, she isn’t limiting her future options one bit. “I can’t wait to have my own clothing line,” she explained. “But it is a really good learning experience for the future, understanding the ins and outs of developing clothing lines, and how the industry works.” Ford replaces America’s Next Top Model winner Eva Pigford, who was included in the previous print promotion. Ford shot her first Apple Bottom ad campaign in May.
