And Nelly, who released her first album in seven years titled Seven back in 2024, goes on to say how even though it’s been quote surreal, having people fall in love with her music decades later, she still feels like this is the time to step away, adding, I have decided to step away from performance for the foreseeable future and pursue other creative and personal endeavors that I feel would better suit this next phase of my life.
