ET/PT. The new episodes will address firsthand Nelly's recent arrest as he discusses the situation with his children for the first time. In previous episodes, viewers got a glimpse into Nelly's very busy life as a hip-hop icon, successful entrepreneur, and loving father to his biological children "Nana" and "Tre" and his deceased sister's children "Lil Shawn" and "Stink" - all while nurturing a blossoming friendship with Shantel "Miss" Jackson. The fun, laughter and lessons continue as we pick up where we left off with Nana in college in Chicago, Tre working hard to get back on the football field, Stink making big decisions about life after high school and Lil Shawn continuing to pursue his own music career.
In Tuesday's heartfelt episode, Nelly's last moments with his grandmother are captured before her passing and, to lift everyone's spirit, Nelly plans a family-fun ski outing with Lil Shawn, Tre, Stink and Shantel "Miss" Jackson as well as a family "surprise" planned especially for Nelly's father.
"Nellyville" is produced by Entertainment One, with Executive Producers Tara Long, Shanta Conic, Kim McKoy, Howie Miller, David Shaye and John Morayniss. Nelly also serves as Executive Producer, along with co-executive producer Julius W. Erving III.
