Nelly has given us classic hits like “Ride Wit Me” and “Hot in Herre,” it’s time we gave him something in return.

Nelly became a staple in music in the early 2000s. In recent years, the Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist has stayed relevant through BET’s TV shows, “Real Husbands of Hollywood” and “Nellyville.”

Unfortunately for this star, the cash flow from his recent projects isn’t sufficient enough for him to pay off the massive amounts he owes. Since 2013, the R&B superstar has amassed $2,412,283 in federal tax lien.

When fans heard about Nelly’s financial woes, they took matters into their own hands to save the R&B superstar.

#SaveNelly has prompted fans to stream “Hot in Herre,” and other Nelly classics, nonstop.

The reasoning? For each stream on Spotify, the music site pays the artist anywhere from $0.006 to $0.0084. In the best-case scenario, it would take only 287,176,547 plays to pay off Nelly’s debt. This may seem like an intimidating amount but if we work together, we could save Nelly.

North Dakota State has about 15,000 enrolled students. Assuming the worst-case scenario, each student enrolled at NDSU would only have to stream one of Nelly’s songs 26,859 times.

Totally manageable. So, c’mon NDSU, let’s #SaveNelly.
