Sexyy Red confidently declared on a live broadcast that she and Nelly are cousins, but the St. Lunatics rapper expressed some doubt about this claim in a lighthearted manner. On a recent radio show hosted by Big Boy, Nelly playfully questioned Sexyy Red's assertion of their familial connection, sparking a humorous debate about their family ties. The conversation started when Sexyy Red mentioned to Big Boy that they are genuine blood relatives, despite some skepticism from others regarding their relationship. Although Nelly teased that their similar southern accents might be the only thing they share, he still fondly referred to her as "my folks," suggesting a close bond regardless of the uncertainty surrounding their lineage. Big Boy also reminded the audience that Sexyy Red previously asserted a familial link to Cardi B during a prior appearance on the show. While Cardi B has not responded to this claim, she has previously acknowledged being related to another female rapper and addressed this connection during a previous interview on Big Boy's show when he questioned claims made by GloRilla about their shared ancestry. Cardi clarified that they are indeed cousins due to a family history involving her grandfather's undisclosed dealings in Tennessee, which led to a familial connection with GloRilla's father.
