Right when New Zealand is diving into a heatwave, rapper Nelly has entered the country - coincidence? We think not.
The Hot In Here rapper arrived in Auckland this morning and was welcomed with a haka powhiri by Māori cultural group KaiHaka, which provides mana whenua-led cultural experiences for international stars and dignitaries.
Nelly watched the powhiri, recording it on his phone and was also the center of what looks to be a group karakia.
He later posed for photos, including a killer snap in which he pulls a pukana with the KaiHaka crew.
