Nelly Says Don’t Look At TV For Role Models
“Role models should be someone that’s in your life on a daily basis, someone that’s prevalent in your life, that you can see not just on television,” he said. “The only thing that kids see is that person’s success. That’s it.”
Nelly also revealed that he would not consider changing his image or toning down his songs to please people.
“If I did that, what would I be telling the kids? To let society dictate you as a person?

A serious problem with today’s youth is they have a hard time finding role models to follow. Instead of looking at their parents or hard working people in their community they look up to the characters rappers portray. A Basketball player is not a role model because he puts a ball in a hoop nor is a rapper because he can rhyme. You have to look at a person’s morals, what they stand for and how they strive to reach their goals. Parents step your game up, TV can’t raise your kids for you.
