Nelly‘s Concert At University At Florida Going Viral For Low Attendance

Nelly‘s recent concert at the University of Florida show organized by the school’s student government with free entry granted to any student with a school ID. Unfortunately it seems as though not many people showed up, as a frequently-reposted video from the event shows some attendees near the stage but mostly vacant house seats for the hour-long performance the show was delayed an hour because of the low turnout, but the Country Grammar rapper eventually took the stage at 8pm and performed his full set with his brother (and hype man) City Spud by his side. The publication noted that by the time the show finally started, there was “a larger crowd” on the floor but, as can be seen in the Tik Tok below, “the arena seats were mostly empty. It seems as though not many students were very familiar with him, as the publication spoke to a few attendees who merely went because it was a free show. “I like concerts a lot and I write a list of people I’ve seen live, so why not add another,” one person told them, while they spoke to another who “originally did not know who Nelly was, but once her friend explained, she was excited to attend.” The age range for college students is 18 to around 22, so many of them weren’t even born when Nelly was in his prime in the early 2000s.
