Amanda Berry has made her first public appearance at the RoverFest concert in Cleveland on Saturday night, taking the stage with rapper Nelly.

Nelly's speech introducing Berry has been captured in the video above. According to Fox 8, the public had no idea that she would be taking the stage.

RoverFest was held at Voinovich Park in Cleveland, and it featured performances by 10 Years, The Wailers, Jim Florentine, as well as Nelly.

The artist praised Berry's determination and courage in facing the ordeal of being kidnapped and held hostage.

As I wrote before, she was captured on April 21, 2003 and held by Ariel Castro in his home for a decade.

“I just said that she had 10 years of partying to make up for and she should come,” Nelly tweeted.
