It’s a Nelly and Kelly Rowland reunion!
On Saturday, Nov. 9, the rapper, 50, and singer, 43, reunited onstage at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala for a surprise performance of their 2002 classic hit “Dilemma” as seen in videos posted by attendees Jenna Dewan and Chrissy Teigen.
In the clip shared by Dewan, 43, on her Instagram Stories, Rowland joined Nelly, who performed at the event, onstage while holding a microphone as guests were heard cheering and clapping in excitement.
“I love this so much,” Dewan wrote over the video, tagging Rowland.
Nelly said in the clip onstage, “So, since I have an angel up here, since I have a Baby2Baby representative, I think it's only right since I had this request from everybody that, you know, we work some magic and… thank you for joining me up here and making this happen one time.”

The former Destiny’s Child singer then curtsied a couple of times in acknowledgment before she bowed to Nelly and clasped her hands, smiling.
Nelly then appeared to raise his hands to the DJ onstage and their snog “Dilemma” started playing to more cheers from guests.
Teigen, 38, also posted footage of the performance on her Instagram Stories. The model and cookbook author's clip showed Rowland and Nelly standing next to each other onstage and dancing while performing the song as Rowland put her arm around Nelly. Teigen could also be heard singing along with the pair from behind the camera.
Nelly and Rowland released their duet single “Dilemma” back in June 2002. The hit song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 later in August of that year for nine consecutive weeks, per Billboard, and the music video for the song currently has over 1 billion views on YouTube.
