Nelly’s “DILEMMA” video hits a milestone 1 billion views on YouTube

Reaching 1 billion views on YouTube, “Dilemma” is one of only a handful of hip hop music videos from the Pre-YouTube era to achieve this milestone.

Nelly joins a diverse and elite group of artists from this era to do the same, including 50 Cent, Nirvana, Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Whitney Houston, The Cranberries and a-ha.

The video for “Dilemma” was directed by and produced by GRAMMY® Award winning Ryan Bowser aka GHOST (Monica, 112, Tyrese, Bow Wow).

The second song released from the Nellyville album, “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland was a No. 1 single across multiple Billboard charts (Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop/Top 40/Rhythmic).

Nelly’s “Hot in Herre” was No. 1 on the charts, until it was replaced by his own single “Dilemma”, that went on to win that year’s GRAMMY® Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance.
