Awks! Nelly’s Irish Fans Totally Effed Up His Song Lyrics During Last Night’s Dublin Gig

Dilemma, Ride Wit Me, Hot In Herre… Nelly’s songs were the soundtrack to many a 2002 teen disco shifting session, but now that his Irish fans are all grown up they’re not quite so dedicated, it seems.

The rapper performed one of two consecutive dates at Dublin’s Vicar Street last night, with a set full of early Noughties bangers.

Things got off to a solid start when he launched into Hot In Herre, backed up by an enthusiastic crowd of singing fans. But the audience let their ignorance show when, after shouting the chorus back at Nelly, the rapper held the mic out for a few lines too many.

In footage shared by Lovin’ Dublin this morning, fans can be heard confidently singing the first few lines of the verse, before tailing off into mumbles. Thankfully Nelly didn’t mind TOO much, though he did ask “what the f**k happened?” in bewilderment before continuing.

Give us another chance, Nelly! We’re learning the words off right now, okay?
