But in a recent interview that’s now going viral, Nelly got real about the things that scare her the most—and number 3 had fans completely shook.
Let’s be honest—celebrities rarely open up about their vulnerabilities. That’s why this moment feels so personal, raw, and honestly refreshing. Nelly didn’t hold back.

Snakes – Classic fear, right? She said even the sight of them on TV freaks her out.

Failing her younger self – She talked about how she constantly thinks of the little girl who dreamed of becoming a champion and how she never wants to disappoint her.
