N*E*R*D Perform “Lemon” On “The Ellen Degeneres Show” [WATCH]

Although N*E*R*D’s recent ‘No_One Ever Really Dies’ album failed to impress as many expected it to, their Rihanna-assisted “Lemon” single has been a bright spot, continuing to climb on the charts. The trio of Pharrell, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley took over “The Ellen Show” to perform it.
