Nelly Brings Fans Nostalgia With Special ‘Country Grammar’ Medley at the 2020 AMAs

“I live a hip-hop life. When you get certain artists that don’t live the hip-hop life and all of a sudden they wanna do a hip-hop album, I look at that like a little bit of a, ‘Nah, c’mon, ya’ll,'” he shared. “You can be hip-hop influenced, your song can be hip-hop influenced, your album can be hip-hop influenced, but you’re not a hip-hop artist. And I’m not a country artist, so I don’t want to disrespect all those that work hard that live the country life.”

The American Music Awards are produced by dick clark productions, which is owned by MRC Entertainment, the parent company of Billboard.
