Nelly Announced Sean John's New Underwear Model

St. Louis rapper Nelly [click to read] will join the likes of Lil Wayne [click to read], Nas, and Snoop Dogg as he becomes one of the latest celebrity models to represent the Sean John clothing line.

"I have been a big fan of Diddy and the Sean John clothing line for years," Nelly said in a statement. "So, when they asked me to work with them, it was a real honor. I hope my fans will enjoy this campaign as much as I did shooting it."

Nelly will have the opportunity to model clothing from the Sean John underwear and loungewear line which will include briefs, boxer-briefs, boxers, undershirts, pajamas, robes, and more.

"I have known Nelly for many years and I really admire his work. To me, Nelly is the quintessential definition of the Sean John man," Diddy explained in a statement. "He has the attitude, the swagger, and most of all the physique that our customers can both aspire and relate to. And let's be honest, all of the ladies out there are going to be thanking us for this campaign."

Aside from being the newest spokesmodel for Sean John, it is interesting to note that Nelly still has his Apple Bottom line and, as many may recall, had his own men's clothing line called Vokal back in 2000; the line shut down production in 2004.

Nelly is also preparing for the release of his latest album Brass Knuckles which will hit stores on September 16.
