Nelly is very upset at his dad.

Father's day was last weekend, so there's no need to hold up the pretense of having to like your dad for another 50 weeks. In all seriousness, nobody has a perfect relationship with their parents, and for some people it's bad to the point of potentially having to separate themselves from their parents. Nelly appears to be one of those people.

We don't know exactly what it is that Nelly's father did or said to incur his rage, but we do know that he's mad as hell about it. Last night, Nelly went on Twitter and denounced his father completely.

"The word father is a strong word. Something I never knew anything about as a child because mine never did what he had to do only what he wanted," Nelly writes. He also adds an all-caps message exclaiming that he wouldn't be paying his dad's bills anymore. Afterwards, the posted a screen shot of that tweet on Instagram, and went at him a second time.

"Just because it’s ya DNA DONT MAKE YOU A FATHER..!!!," he wrote in the caption. "Mine never saw me play sports never taught me anything never saw me graduate and I still took care of him for almost 20 years he never to care of me for half that..!!!!"

If Nelly is willing to air out his family business like that on the internet, be must be very upset. There is a silver lining however, as he did the exact same thing with his mom, except praising her instead.

Good for you, Nelly. Don't set hung up on people who bring you down.
