Rapper Nelly touched by beer-can shoutout from Budweiser: 'Something to live up to'
The 25-ounce drinks will be available in Missouri beginning October 20
If you live in Missouri and are a fan of Budweiser, there's a good chance you may be staring at rapper Nelly the next time you pop open a fresh one.
Anheuser-Busch is soon rolling out its release of limited-edition Budweiser tall-boy cans in honor of the hip-hop artist and the 20th anniversary of his debut album "Country Grammar."
The 45-year-old rapper, also known for hits "Ride Wit Me" and "E.I," called it "a little overwhelming" in an interview with St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"But it's really dope, and it's what you work for, and it's definitely something to live up to and something to continue," he said.
