With his hometown team one win away from their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history, Nelly paused his concert Friday in Lake Charles, LA to deliver a message.

"On the count of three, I need Lake Charles, Louisiana to say 'LET'S GO BLUES!"

The crowd at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Louisiana responded in unision.

The video was posted to Nelly's official instagram account. The performer, who is a St. Louis native, diehard Blues fan and is responsible for hit songs such as Country Grammar, Hot in Herre and E.I. , attended Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 1 at Enterprise Center.
