After displaying some strange behavior onstage, a video of Nelly performing in Australia has gone viral. The footage was captured by Instagram user akira.nibbai on Wednesday (Jan. 17), just after Nelly’s performance at the 2023 Juicyfest in Melbourne, Australia. This clip shows the St. Louis rhymer performing his hit duet with Tim McGraw. However, Nelly appears to be acting very strangely in the video. The clip shows the rap crooner rolling back his eyes multiple times while singing the ballad’s lyrics as he smiles slyly.

The view from my front-row VIP seat at Juicyfest Melbourne shows Nelly absolutely cooked out of his mind. Nibbai captioned the clip, I still love you, Nelly. Social media users are sharing their opinions on the viral video, with many claiming Nelly was under the influence. It made me scared for him he kept rolling his eyes and making damn faces like wtf do you all think rich for nothing like making some Nike Airforces or something, one Twitter user said.

Rapper Nelly Video Goes Viral After Displaying Some Strange Behaviour On Stage

A video of Nelly’s recent set at Juicy Fest has gained attention online after he was filmed making bizarre facial expressions while performing ‘Over and Over’. Last Sunday (January 15), Nelly was one of three headliners performing at the festival’s Melbourne edition alongside Ne-Yo and Ja Rule. As Nelly sings the chorus to the song, which was released in 2004 and features Tim McGraw, he can be seen rolling his eyes and smiling exaggeratedly. As snippets of Nelly’s performance circulated on social media, some fans questioned whether the rapper was “on something” since his eyes seemed to be fighting for their lives. Nelly was referred to as “HIGH AS EGGS” and “ZOOTED” by others. Several users were quick to point out that Nelly was simply “feeling this song” and joked that his “eyes rolled back to 2003” during the performance.

Last night, Nelly’s eyes were fighting for their lives because he was on something. It was his crew’s responsibility to tell him to keep his glasses on, one user wrote. I’m watching a video of Nelly performing in Australia…the guy is fried hard with lemon pepper and mild sauce,” another person wrote along with multiple crying laughing emojis. As of yesterday (January 18), Nelly’s Instagram story thanked the Australian people for “showing out” for the festival, although he hasn’t addressed the viral videos directly. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I can’t wait to finish strong. As the penultimate stop on the tour, Juicy Fest Melbourne will be followed by the final festival in Perth tomorrow (January 20). Juicy Fest’s lineup also includes Bow Wow, Xzibit, Mya, Pretty Ricky, Twista, Chingy, and Lloyd alongside its three headliners.
