Does Nelly Know?

Once again, Nelly is talking about a supergroup involving both himself and Pharrell. He mentions Akon, like last time, but this time he also throws T-Pain in there. I suppose it's possible...I don't really think so. Plus even if it's true, what a weird mix right? I think that Akon and T-Pain serve the same purpose in all their collaborations...
Yes, The Neptunes did do some production on Brass Knuckles, but I really don't think of Nelly and P as being hella close or having similar style or similar topics.
