Nelly’s Big 12 Championship halftime show draws mixed reactions on social media
Published:
Nelly performed at halftime during the Big 12 Championship and there was a mixed bag of reactions from fans.
Things were interesting to say the least in what will be Texas’ last Big 12 game.
Texas went into halftime up 35-14 after dominating Oklahoma State during the 1st half. Quinn Ewers actually made Big 12 Championship history with his 4 touchdown passes in the 1st half.
Depending on who you asked, Nelly was really good or really bad.
Some of the fans were really into the performance and said that it was way better than Jack Harlow’s halftime show on Thanksgiving. However, there were some technical difficulties during the show as Nelly had to take one of his earpieces out.
On the other hand, some fans thought that the Dr. Pepper throw off was a much better watch. One overtime period wasn’t enough as the contest was eventually decided in double overtime.

Nelly. The Undertaker. Need Brett Yormark to show up to the postgame ceremony in some 24-inch Jncos to complete the time machine. https://t.co/GhCZAl78aZ
