An Instagram post of Nelly singing at the 2023 Juicyfest in Australia on Wednesday (Jan. 17) quickly grew in popularity online.
This isn’t the first time Nelly has faced a dilemma where he went viral for the wrong reason. It’s safe to say that this wasn’t how Nelly expected the concert to go.

The video featured Nelly performing one of his most popular songs, “Over and Over.” From the start of the song, Nelly started acting rather strangely while performing.

Caught in 4K
Nelly can be seen smiling slyly and singing the song while his eyes appear to roll back several times in the unflattering footage.
Nelly had sweat in his eyes. Don’t bash him
