- Nelly was born Cornell Iral
Haynes, Jr. in Texas and hails from St. Louis,
Missouri. Nelly's desire to become a famous
rapper began to come true in 1993 when he formed
'St. Lunatics' with Kyjun, Murphy Lee, Ali, Jason, and City
Spud. It took 3 years, but the group eventually
found some success with the 12" single
"Gimme What Ya Got." The group decided
that more success for them may happen quicker if
Nelly was viewed as a solo artist. The decision
worked with Nelly landing a record contract with
Universal Records. Nelly also became known for
his philanthropy working to increase awareness
and rally support for bone marrow donations. The
efforts are in honor of his sister who suffered
from leukemia.
- June 19: Nelly won a BET Award for
Best New Artist.
- October 19: A concert-goer was
stabbed to death after a Nelly concert in San
Diego, California.
- October 26: Nelly topped the UK
Singles chart for 2 weeks with "Dilemma."
- December 31: Nellyville ended the year as
the 2nd biggest selling LP of the year with over
4.9 million copies sold in the US.
- December 31: Nelly topped the Billboard Year-End
Charts as the Top Pop Artist (singles
& albums), Top Pop Artist - Male (singles
& albums), Top Hot 100 Singles Artist - Male,
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Artist - Male (singles &
albums), Top Hot Rap Artist, and the Top Hot Rap
Single ("Hot In Herre").
- March 1: Nelly won a Soul Train
Music Award for Best R&B Soul or Rap Album of
the Year and was honored with the 2003 Sammy
Davis, Jr. Award for Entertainer of the Year.
Nelly was also nominated 2 for Best Music Video
("Dilemma" with Kelly
Rowland).
- March 5: Nelly topped the UK
singles chart for 1 week with help from Tim McGraw with
"Over And Over."
- March 24: Nelly's sister Jacqueline
Donahue lost her battle with leukemia at the age
of 31. Nelly cancelled several tour dates to be
home with his family.
- December 4: Nelly topped the
Billboard Rap Albums chart for 1 week with 5.0.
- November: Nelly helped with a remix
version of the Florida Georgia
Line hit
"Cruise" and helped it cross over to
pop radio.
- October 7: Nelly was arrested for
alleged sexual assault. The charges were later
dropped.
- August 7: Nelly was arrested in
Maryland for alleged drug possession after 4
ecstasy pills where found in his vehicle.
