I don't think Nelly was actually supposed to perform. The purpose of his visit was to highlight his foundation and to host a bone marrow drive. Student were going to protest his presence, so they canceled the drive. There are talks about scheduling another drive with the Red Cross.
Not hating on Nelly or anything, but I'm glad the students at Spelman had the drive to stand and say "hey, we don't appreciate the way you exploited black women in your video!" I'm a man, AND I have a 3 year old son. Though I appreciate beautiful black women, I was even offended, and in no way would I want him to see something of that nature...not at least until the age of 16. Parents, we really have to monitor the tube to ensure that our kids don't fall down the wrong path. I just don't get it at times.
