Nelly has formed an all-star supergroup featuring Akon, T-Pain and Pharrell.
Although initial details are sketchy, the rapper tells MTV: "Me, Akon, T-Pain and Pharrell are talking about doing a project. We got a host of things we're trying to do - possibly put together this new 2009 (Bell Biv DeVoe) type of thing."
Nelly also suggested the collective will record for the love of music and not just to make money: "I don't think you try to put things together with people you don't think you can accomplish with."
"With 'Kon, with Pain and Pharrell, I know it's more about the music than anything. It's about leaving something."
"I think we're all OK as far as the money thing goes. I don't think anybody is hurting. You wanna do things you can be remembered by. Make a mark. I think that's something that's foremost on all our minds."
Pharrell is also keeping tight-lipped about the unnamed band, adding: "Those are all my boys. I'm kinda like the only one that adheres to the oath of secrecy. I don't wanna break that."
