Time to get those boots with the fur out of your closet, Nelly may be bringing back Apple Bottom Jeans. And if he isn’t then he sure as hell is advocating for them to make a comeback at the hands of someone else. 

Yeah, you read that right, Nelly’s famous Apple Bottoms might be staging a comeback.

On Saturday, the St. Louis rapper shared an image of the legendary jeans’ logo alongside the caption, “It’s bout that time…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t call it a come back..!!!!!”

You can have a peek at the Instagram post below and get yourself excited. 

Nelly launched Apple Bottoms in 2003. While the brand first started as a denim label, it later released clothing, accessories, and perfume. As part of the launch, Nelly also began a search for a model to represent the label, which aired on VH1.

Apple Bottoms were referenced in numerous songs, including Twista’s ‘Overnight Celebrity,’ Flo Rida and T-Pain’s ‘Low,’ Flo Rida’s ‘Love,’ and Eminem’s ‘Shake That.’

Nelly will be performing at Lovers & Friends Festival. Other acts include Megan Thee Stallion, Ludacris, Fat Joe, Jhené Aiko, Lil Kim, Summer Walker, T-Pain, and Saweetie. There was some confusion when the festival was first announced when several of the billed artists denied their involvement. However, any conflicting reports were later cleared up and a second date was added to the festival.
