Iggy Azalea's success is something Nelly knows all too well. In an interview with Sydney's The Telegraph, the St. Louis rapper shared a few words of encouragement to the Aussie femcee who was recently in a battle of words with Azealia Banks on Twitter.
Iggy has also been in viral beefs with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Tyler, The Creator this year. Nelly calls Iggy a cool artist and says she shouldn't be bothered by the comments her Hip-Hop counterparts have to say.
"Iggy's my girl and Em is a great artist," he said. "Listen, if you are big enough that Eminem is talking about you ... he is mentioning your name ...[Iggy] has always been cool with [me.] I was there when she was getting started and starting her recordings and stuff."
Nelly is currently in Australia to honor the victims of the Sydney hostage siege incident that occurred last week. He will return to Sydney next year during his tour with B.o.B and Lupe Fiasco.
