Musician Nelly, who is originally from Missouri, joined those in his home state to call for peace in Ferguson.

He was joined as well with nearly 100 ministers on Ferguson streets Monday night, according to CBS.

The increasingly violent protests have been ongoing since the weekend in Ferguson, where police shot an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, six times on Aug. 9 and killed him, according to The Independent.

Protesters are demanding the shooting officer to be arrested and tried for murder, amid an FBI investigation into the situation.

President Barack Obama pleaded with those in the area for peace but to no avail.

Nelly joined in on the peace call by addressing the public through a megaphone.

Despite arrests by the police and National Guard, the protests have not stopped and tear gas and violence have been used.

Nelly wore a T-shirt with #MichaelBrown printed on it and tried to appeal to the community.

"We've got to understand that we have options and stop choosing the reaction option cause at the end of the day we gonna pay -- our brothers are gonna be the ones in jail," he said, according to The Independent.

Nelly returned to his home state to help with the situation after being called-out by critics who said he was out of touch with the African-American community, especially when something so critical was occurring in his home state.

"I understand the frustration, but we have to strategize [sic] before we overreact. We don't get no do-over on [stuff] like this, so we have to do it right the first time. Ain't nothing happen no different that hasn't been happening. ... At the end of the day, we should have waited to strategize first and take all the right steps to organize,' he told TMZ over the weekend, according to The Independent.
