Nelly knows how to put together a ball with the air of people being comfortable in their own skin and enjoying each other with love and admiration for one another, You go Nelly your personality concedes a very beautiful function like it should be!
As usual, Nelly’s “all over it” when it comes to giving back to the community. Just one question if I may, you and Ashanti ARE planning on having your beautiful baby becoming a proud UCHS graduate like his papa, right? Thanks for being a class act and continuing to “rep” U. City in wonderful ways.
