Ain't nobody got fans as thoughtful as Nelly. The rapper, who will be headlining the highly-anticipated RNB Fridays mini-festival later this year, reportedly has over USD$2.5 million of tax debt to pay off and his dedicated fanbase have found an ingenious (albeit, far-fetched) way to help him pay it off.

Stream Hot In Herre over and over again on Spotify, of course.

As Spin reports, Nelly has a federal tax lien equating to $2,412,283 as well as debts of $149,511 to the Missouri Department Of Revenue. They figured out, though, that roughly 402,880,500 streams (at the very least, if Nelly earns the bare minimum of $0.006 per stream from Spotify) will help him pay off the whopping amount. 

Naturally, his fans have gotten to work to #SaveNelly and have been doing their part by playing Hot In Herre as many times as humanly possible — on repeat, on mute, you name it.
