Happy Birthday Neilly!

Nelly celebrated his birthday with some old fashioned, Motown fun this year.

In honor of the Grammy Award winning rapper's 48th spin around the sun, he killed two birds with one stone Monday by celebrating his birthday on Halloween. His birthday falls on the 2nd but he decided to celebrate it earlier, according to HipHopDX.

Staying in tune with the Motown theme, Nelly dressed up as David Ruffin of the Temptations, while Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox and Johnta Austin played the background as the other members of the infamous group.

The "Country Grammar" star headed to Instagram to flaunt his iconic style, complete with a slick perm and navy blue suit. He previewed the massive birthday bash with a Save The Date flier for the event, which will be hosted by himself and the legendary producers. Nelly's extravagant birthday bash comes after his ex-girlfriend, Ashanti, revealed that Irv Gotti refused to arrange studio time for her when she began dating the "Hot In Herre" rapper. Gotti became irritated with the singer, according to an episode of the Angie Martinez IRL show.
