Nelly, rapper and R&B icon, is bringing his smooth moves to Dancing With the Stars 2020. The 45-year-old is joining the ranks of professional dancers and celebrities alike as they dance-off for the grand prize of the Mirrorball Trophy. But what do you need to know about Nelly, beyond his dancing talent?
Making big moves, DWTS 2020 is changing things up, both on and off-screen. The show's new set up brings Tyra Banks to the floor as the new host, which is sure to spice things up. Combine that with a brand new cast of talented, non-dancing celebrities and you have a season that's sure to be full of exciting twists and turns.
According to an interview with ET, Nelly is really looking forward to breaking a sweat on the stage. When asked about his approach to joining the show, he said, "I came here to dance and not really be Nelly, but to bring Nelly to a different genre." During his interview, Nelly admitted that ballroom dancing has been different from anything he's done, but he is ready to embrace the challenge, and hopefully take home a win.
The singer, who has been in the public eye since the early 90s, embarked on a solo career in 2000, and has been capturing hearts – and beats – since. When asked how he plans to hold his space in the competition, Nelly says: "I'mma go all out! If you look at me, if you look at my music, I've been able to cross all genres. I've been able to do a lot of things with my music that a lot of people said I couldn't do and said I was crazy for when I first did it. Merging hip-hop and country, hip-hop with pop, but having success. I think this is no different, in a sense of thinking outside the box." Nelly also revealed that his song, "Ride Wit Me," would be the soundtrack to his dancing premiere.
The singer does not shy away from a challenge, and hopefully he breaks a leg, figuratively, on the dancefloor. Who's your favorite celebrity of the season so far? Will you be rooting for Yung Swivel to take home the Mirrorball Trophy?
Dancings With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
