A BLACK TIE AFFAIR WITH NELLY AND HIS DAUGHTER
Rapper Nelly took daughter Chanell Haynes,15, to his fourth annual Black & White Ball on December 6, 2009 in St Louis, Missouri. Nelly’s son Cornell Haynes III, born 2nd March 1999, did not attend the event.
The Black and White Ball is an event that raises money for a scholarship program at Lindenwood University. At this year’s event, two scholarship recipients received 4-year full-tuition scholarships/grants to Lindenwood University.






PRETTY GIRL. SHE IS GOING TO BE TALLER THAN HER FATHER! I LIKE HER MICROS.
she looks like his date.
Concur, not sure if its because she looks a bit older than 15 or he looks so darn youthful here?
At any rate, love to see dad and daughter looking all spiffed up to support a positive cause.
My thoughts exactly! Nelly looks very young.
What?! Nelly has a daughter? And one in her teens at that!?
Where have I been, LOL! I knew he had a son, but I didn’t know he had a daughter.
WOW didn’t know he had a daughter that was in her teen, she does look like his date only cuz he looks so young, glad to see he is a good father to kids kids and doing things with them.
I agree with you, was going to say the same thing. She’s pretty!
LoL.. yea he dOeS guys! i beLieve she was in that video “nana na nana” (something like that) with the 2 other little girls! but i cant believe how big she got. i feeL aLL oLd! haha..
Gosh! How old is Nelly. I thought he was in his mid twenties. I never would have thought he had a daughter in her teens. He must look young for his age.
Yeah, it’s b/c he looks so young. She looks beautiful and totally appropriate for a 15y/o.
Wow! I had no idea he had a daughter that was 15. She is a very pretty girl and he looks great.
Wow she looks like Brandy.
wow!!! i thought that was his date! i agree with GTSA - he looks so young! and it is always nice to see a father with any of his children but especially their daughters.
Yes sheallthat, I’ll say it again. all this talk about boys needing dad–but of course, but will say girls need ‘em just the same. I am always cheesing when I see dads in good relationships with their little “princesses”. You want to see some real impact…
They look just alike.
I don’t see the resemblance! Nelly is 35, I believe.
Thanks for the info. I just thought that he was younger.
I am looking back at these pics ’cause I love them. She actually does look very age appropriate for 15==not much make up at all==natural cuteness here.
Nelly be the man. Now tell me what fountain of youth you been drinking from bro”–lol. You had me guessing so hard I looked up the bio and found out dude is in his mid thirties. Had baby girl young at 20 or so.
He could easily pass for mid 20s going off these pics.
Beautiful!
Fifteen? Wow I forgot Nelly was in his 30s.
She looks like Kim Fields. Cute girl. I hope he’s teaching her better morals than some of his music contains.
She is a cute girl. I think she looks more like Brandy.
She does favor Brandy a bit.
NELLY IS A SAINT LOUIE BOY. GOT TO BE SOME OF THE BEST MEN IN THE COUNTRY IF A GIRL CAN FIND ONE. THEY ARE FAMILY ORIENTED. REALLY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY THEIR GIRLIES. I RECALL MY DAD AND MOM FALLING IN AND OUT OF LOVE WITH EACH OTHER, BUT NEVER WAS HE OUT OF US KID’S LIVES. I CAN NOT REMEMBER HIM BEING ABSENT FROM OUR LIVES. HE WOULD COME BY JUST TO TAKE US FOR A RIDE, OR JUST ON OUTTINGS FOR QUALITY TIME. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. SO, IT IS NO SURPRISE TO ME THAT NELLY IS SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH HIS CHILD.
I’m thinking he’s making me feel real old with a 15 yr old and my daughter is only 2 years younger so I’m just old LOL!! Scary and people think we’re siblings and not mother daughter too.
nelly looks sexy and his daughter looks georgous.
NICE.
I KNOW CHANELL SHE GO 2 MI SHCOOL
A beautiful photo of Nelly and his daughter Chanell.
I went to Lindenwood University for both undergraduate and Graduate school back in ‘05. I think that what nelly is doing is great for the St. Louis “inner” city.
thanks Derrty
