Nelly is a proud, self-proclaimed “Mama’s boy,” he boasted in another tweet, saluting her for always stepping up as a mother when he needed it most.

Fans were a bit confused as to where the scolding against his father came from so suddenly. But after The Shade Room posted Derrty Mo’s father in a Snapchat video with his former R&B songstress girlfriend Ashanti, suspicions arose that the clip could have been the trigger that set off Nelly’s Twitter censure for his dad.
