Nelly is currently one of the most well-known rappers in the hip-hop industry. Nelly is also the type of person who will give you his jacket off his back. The diamond-selling rapper recently proved it when he met Jacob Lemke, a young NASCAR superfan.

TMZ reports that Jake was born with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, a rare genetic order. He and his good friend Nate Salisbury were recently VIP pit guests at the 2022 playoff cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Nelly performed there to kick off the event.

After the event and driver introductions, Nate informed the outlet that Nelly was in the area posing for photos and giving interviews when he spotted them and walked over. Jake’s face brightened up as soon as Nelly arrived. Nelly complimented his vest while presenting him with the custom Charlotte Motor Speedway jacket he wore for the performance.

Jake was on hand to celebrate his 23rd birthday on a trip planned by Nate and his mother, making the occasion even more special. Nate claims to have been Jake’s teacher and friend for over 8 years. Jake’s father recently passed away. However, before he died, he introduced Jake to the worlds of hip-hop music and NASCAR, and it appears to be working.
