Now Nelly is in talks with TV companies about his own show, though this one will be more along the lines of the Fresh Prince than the Osbournes. The rapper, whose second album has already sold more than a million copies, is in negotiations with the Paramount Network to produce and star in a new sitcom. A spokesperson for Paramount could not reveal any details saying it is still in ‘the development stage’. If it goes ahead Nelly will follow Will Smith and LL Cool J in the sitcom route to an acting career. LL Cool J made the move to prime time in the US comedy ‘In the House’ from 1995-1999.
