After getting himself into some tax issues, Nelly owes the IRS a good chunk of change or he's going to jail. Someone calculated exactly how many Spotify plays Nelly would need for the royalties to pay off his IRS bill and has started a World Wide Web streaming party to #SaveNelly.

The collective reaction on this particularly absurd claim about a family struggling to scrape by on $500k would seem to (rightfully) be one of sheer confusion and comical outrage. It just doesn't add up. And after a little poking around the site, it would appear to be 'legit.' Or as credible as a site can be after making such outlandish claims. At least other people on Twitter stepped up to express their highly entertaining bewilderment.
