Access Denied: 9 Celebrities Who Tried To “Holla” At Other Famous Folks And Were Rejected
Nelly and Beyoncé
Fresh out of St. Louis, and fresh out of finally settling on the members in their ever-changing group, Nelly and Destiny’s Child were on the top of the charts back in 2001. And while Nelly was trying to covet platinum records (which he would do multiple times), he was also trying to get Beyoncé to be his lady. There were numerous interviews where Nelly talked about his affection for the Houston beauty, and at one time, he even went on TRL during a Destiny’s Child interview to bring her and the DC girls Popeye’s chicken (no lie, see that HERE at the 5:00 mark). But despite them having time to get close while touring together on the TRL Tour, she didn’t take it to the next level. She would go on to record with and fall in love with Jay Z, and he would just have to settle for recording with Kelly and dating Ashanti.
