Nelly hung out with Dave Blezard at KiSS 92.5 in Toronto the other day. The rapper talked about his show in Toronto later and what fans should expect, his thoughts on the earthquake in Japan and the support he gets from the country, the latest incident involving Chris Brown, not being against Auto-tune, how the CD is dying as are the physical locations to sell them, getting music featured on ‘Glee’, taking on new acting projects when the timing is right, and more. “Chris Brown is a very, very good friend of mine,” Nelly said. “The thing is, it is rough on him. It’s rough when you feel you’ve done all that you can do and the person you’ve done it to has forgiven you, but other people won’t let it go. It’s a rough type of scenario. Then to be that young and have that type of pressure, he doesn’t always act the way, I’m in my 30s and I don’t act as I should.” Watch the 2-part interview via YouTube below.
