Nelly, also dad to son Cornell Haynes III, believes a healthy, self-image is the key. "You try to be realistic about things, you have to talk with her and let her know that she's priceless," he said. "And when you're priceless, don't put things in your way that may devalue who you are and what you stand for. That's what determines how people look at you...."
-Rapper Nelly in an interview with celebritybabyscoop, on daughter Chanell
Prior to that video, Nelly was scheduled to do a concert for his bone marrow registry at Spelman, but when the video came out, the women of Spelman protested. Nelly's people still wanted to do the bone marrow drive, but when the women of Spelman requested an open dialogue forum with him about the video and the female representation he portrays, Nelly was the one that cancelled because he didn't want to discuss it. Their (the women of Spelman) issue was that they at least deserved to have their questions addressed about how he represented Black women in his videos. Spelman said the same man that negatively portrayed Black women in his songs/videos is the same one that refused to face them but yet the same man that asked them to give up their blood and tissue samples.
It's interesting that he thinks that having a "healthy self-image" is important and somewhat ironic that he tell his daughter not to "put things in your way that may devalue who you are and what you stand for. That's what determines how people look at you" but made that video, and afterward proclaimed that he respects women.
I think she was about 7 or 8 when he made that video. I wonder if she's ever seen it.

And we could not wear Red (Blood) or Blue (Crip) belts or shoestrings that were symbolic of gang-bangin either. It was good growing up in The Wood, but it wasn't always easy.
But the folks who went to that high tone, high fullutent (sp) Hamilton High School in West L.A. where some straight up softies. I think you know a little something about that. :lol:
