EDITORS NOTE. Nellys 10th Annual Black and White Ball was quite a celebration. Beyond the reported delay of four months due to reported scheduling conflicts with Nelly, the gala went without a hitch with national and STL celebs partying and celebrating the city's most famous entertainer. The party continued at HG in Midtown St Louis where Nelly and his crew partied until closing time.
