Nelly is in a bit of trouble with the American government. According to TMZ, he owes over $2 Million in taxes.

But the Internet has a deep affinity for the ‘Country Grammar’ rapper and is trying to make sure he doesn’t have to pay a single penny!

Nelly needs at least 287,176,547 “Hot In Herre” streams to pay off his IRS debt http://go.spin.com/2czellb 

 

The Internet has jumpstarted the #SaveNelly campaign and is trying to streams his music on services like Spotify and Apple Music, 287,176,547 times. According to Spin Magazine, “payout for artists “per stream” lands between $0.006 and $0.0084. At the bare minimum, you’ll have to stream a Nelly joint 402,880,500 times to make a decent dent on his tax issues. If Nelly’s lucky enough to be on the $.0084 end of the royalty spectrum, the best case scenario sees you plugging through 287,176,547 streams.”

 

Of course, not all the revenue from Nelly’s music goes directly to Nelly, but its the thought, and the streams, that count. #SaveNelly
