Nelly Set Up Dates For A Fall Tour

NEW YORK (Nelly Official Website) - Rapper Nelly has begun lining up dates for a fall tour in support of his latest album "Nellyville." The trek will kick off Sept. 26 in Worcester, Mass., with dates scheduled through an Oct. 26 finale in Las Vegas. The opening act is likely to be the Cash Money Millionaires, who supported Nelly on tour in support of his debut album, "Country Grammar."

It has certainly been a Nelly summer, with the album "Nellyville" notching sales of 1.8 million units in the U.S. in a month's time, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album track "Dilemma" featuring Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland is making noise of its own, jumping, where it is the chart's fastest-growing track at radio.
"It's about a girl who's in a relationship and she's not happy. Sometimes women stay in relationships because they think it's the right thing to do."

Nelly is in talks to star in a comedy for Paramount Network Television, although details are being kept under wraps. The rapper made his feature debut in "Snipes" and also appeared on Fox's late-night comedy show "Mad TV."
