The 2024 Baby2Baby Gala on November 9 witnessed a heartwarming surprise as Nelly and Kelly Rowland reunited on stage for a nostalgic performance of their 2002 hit “Dilemma.”

The rapper, 50, and the singer, 43, brought the house down, and celebrities like Jenna Dewan and Chrissy Teigen captured the magical moment on their Instagram Stories.

As Rowland joined Nelly with a microphone in hand, the room erupted in cheers and applause, making it a night to remember, as reported by PEOPLE.

“I love this so much,” Dewan wrote over the video, tagging Rowland.

Nelly said in the clip onstage, “So, since I have an angel up here, since I have a Baby2Baby representative, I think it’s only right since I had this request from everybody that, you know, we work some magic and… thank you for joining me up here and making this happen one time.”

Rowland curtsied a couple of times before bowing to Nelly and clasping her hands with a smile. Nelly then gestured to the DJ, and their song “Dilemma” began playing, eliciting cheers from the guests.

Model and cookbook author Teigen, 38, shared footage of the performance on her Instagram Stories.

The clip showed Rowland and Nelly standing together onstage, dancing, and performing the song, with Rowland putting her arm around Nelly.

Teigen could also be heard singing along from behind the camera.

Nelly and Rowland released their duet “Dilemma” in June 2002.

The hit single topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks starting in August 2002. The music video for “Dilemma” has since garnered over 1 billion views on YouTube.
