Rapper Nelly splashed out $10,000 on toys for underprivileged children - after feeling guilty for partying at a strip club.

The US hip-hop star and fellow rapper Jermaine Dupree made the generous donation after spending $10,000 on strippers and alcohol during a wild night out.

The pair felt so guilty about their extravagant evening they decided to match the sum they had spent on women and buy a host of presents for poor children, according to America's New York Post newspaper.

The day after their strip club visit, the pair delivered the gifts personally to needy kids at an unknown location.

Nelly revealed his act of generosity to fans at the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Awards benefit concert in New York.

He told the crowd: "We thought how about we go to the toy store and break the kids off, it's almost Christmas time."
