Grammy-winning rapper T.I. knows Nelly’s much more than a platinum-selling hip-hop artist. The “King of the South” acknowledged a little known fact about the rap veteran.

Tip went to Instagram Friday (February 17) and revealed what positive educational impact Nelly’s had on society for the last decade.

Recently, battle rap king Big Will talked about his hometown legend Nelly putting on for St. Louis hip-hop artists.

To me, Nelly’s the king. I actually have a really good relationship with Ali and Murphy Lee from the St. Lunatics and I tell them all the time, a lot of people say, ‘Oh you guys should have did this,’ or ‘You should have helped this person,’ but I tell them all the time that they did everything for me that they needed to do. That was showing me that a guy from St. Louis could make it. He really made it. Nelly made it to Super Bowls and everything like that. I’m forever grateful and I will never have anything bad to say about any of those guys from that camp. They looked out for me and I talk to Ali and Murphy Lee on a regular basis.” (SOHH)

Nelly made headlines last November after performing one of his ex-girlfriend Ashanti’s hits during a live concert.

In December 2010, Nelly provided some insight on his close-knit Ashanti bond.

“[Our relationship] is the same it’s always been,” Nelly said in an interview when asked about the singer. “We’re really good friends, you know? I think that’s the thing people don’t understand. I say that because you know it’s like society puts a pressure on you ’cause they want to see it turn into a certain relationship. You see what I’m saying? But if that relationship don’t work, then society doesn’t take the responsibility of when it don’t work. [laughs] You know what I’m saying? It’s kind of like, ‘Oh, oh, okay, we’ll move on to the next couple we want to see.’ I think what people don’t understand is I think you really have to be friends first. I think that’s the thing.” (Rap-Up TV)
