She was extremely humbled by all the warm messages she was receiving about their stellar performance. 

Nelson told Dailymail.com that when Cross first approached her, she was skeptical about what he wanted adding that she doesn’t deal with a lot of people. 

She gave him even more side eye once he suggested that they sing together. 

‘I was thinking “is he finna challenge me” because if he was then I was coming for him,’ she stated with a laugh. 

Nelson shared that she was nervous about the attention they were getting while singing, noting that the Walmart they were in was in an affluent suburb of Atlanta. 

‘I wondered “are the police going to come get us,”‘ she said. ‘Then the crowd came around and they were smiling and then we were like we can do this.’ 

The 51-year-old shared that she had been singing since she was two-year-old, even singing a solo at the age of four for her father – gospel music singer and preacher Norris Turner. 

Nelson even sang background for a few gospel acts and sang internationally at a convention in Sweden. She works as a worker’s comp adjuster when she is not singing. 

The mother-of three shared that she and Cross never spoke again, following the moment, only recently catching up after the video went viral. She’s amazed by all the love and support she’s received, thankful to all the celebrities who have noticed – Common even shared the duet.
