This is absolutely shocking. Nelly, the rapper best known for
massive hits like ‘Hot In Herre’ and Dilemma,’ was reported arrested in
the early morning hours of Oct. 7 after a woman accused him of raping
her!
Details about this incident are scant at the moment, but this is what’s being reported so far: Nelly, 42, has been accused of raping a woman in Washington state, according to TMZ.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that a woman claims this alleged
sexual assault happened on Nelly’s tour bus. The alleged rape supposedly
occurred around 3:45 AM, local time, and the woman specifically named
Nelly as the man who committed this alleged crime, according to the
report. HollywoodLife.com has reached out to Nelly’s
rep for a comment on these allegations, as well as local authorities,
but have not heard back from either at time of publishing. We’ll update
this post with any further details. Update: he has denied the charges as “completely fabricated.”
Nelly was reportedly booked on second-degree rape charges on Oct. 7,
sometime around 7 AM local time, according to TMZ. He reportedly was
still in custody at time of this publication. The rapper – who broke out
in 2000 with his best-selling album, Country Grammar and has appeared in both movies and television shows– was reportedly in custody by the time of this publication. Nelly is currently on tour with Florida Georgia Line,
and he was scheduled to perform in Ridgefield, Washington on Oct. 7.
Whether or not this performance is cancelled remains to be seen.
This isn’t the first time that Nelly’s had a major run-in with the law. He was arrested in 2015
after Tennessee state troopers found traces of meth, marijuana and
handguns after searching his tour bus. He was booked on felony
possession of drugs, possession of marijuana and possession of drug
paraphernalia. He was released shortly afterward on bail.
