Nelly Marrying Shantel Jackson, Talks Floyd Mayweather Friendship After ESPN Diss

Rapper Nelly opened up about marrying his girlfriend Shantel Jackson and where his friendship with her ex-fiancé and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather lies.

During an interview with The Breakfast Club, the "Dilemma" rap star explained that if he considered marrying his girlfriend, he would not put it on his reality show despite the financial gain of it. The couple have faced some challenges after they confirmed their relationship following Jackson's public break up with Mayweather.

Like so many of the boxer's friends, people accused Nelly for swooping in and stealing his girl after Singer Ray J stole one of Mayweather's old flames, Princess Love. Since then, all parties have moved on and the bromance between Nelly and Mayweather haven't been rekindled.

Another particular reason could be after Nelly's interview with ESPN's "Highly Questionable" last July where the St. Louis rapper threw jabs towards the boxer's intellect.

"I don't have beef with Floyd Mayweather. For the most part I think the whole thing is misunderstood." He said regarding the ongoing news that Nelly stole Floyd's fiancée from him, "I try to understand where he's coming from which is a little hard to do, but I guess it's one of those things where he is who he is."

Nelly added, that the arrogant boxer is so use to living lavish and completely surrounds himself next to "Yes Men" that he was actually told no and doesn't like it.

"I think he's one of those people that don't like 'No' said to him," the rapper said insinuating that Shantel ended the engagement with the boxer. "I think when anybody does that, I think that's what kind of gets under his skin a little bit. I don't know? It's kind of hard talking to a guy who hasn't graduated from high school."
