Twitter Wants You To Stream Hot In Herre To Save Nelly From His $2.5 MILLION Tax Debt!
Nelly‘s in some pretty big financial trouble.
On Sunday, news broke that the rapper was slapped with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien back in August! Oof! Since the songsmith owes so much, the IRS could claim some of his assets and property!
The 41-year-old apparently also owes $149,511 in Missouri state taxes from 2013! That means the artist is looking at over $2.5 MILLION in debt!

And while sources say the hitmaker is working with tax authorities to settle this money mess, his fans are also doing their part to help!
On Monday, SPIN did the math, and realized that Nelly needs 287,176,547 streams to pay what he owes. So, plenty of people flocked to Twitter to get the masses to #SaveNelly, posting:
*Nelly needs help*

pro tip: turn your phone to mute and put on “hot in herre” while you sleep tonight. 7 hours sleep = 110 plays #hotinherrestreamingparty
