Nelly has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman.
Early Saturday morning a woman made a 911 call reporting “that she was
sexually assaulted by a male, who is known as the rapper “Nelly,”‘
according to a press release sent out by the Auburn Police Department in
Washington.
The
42-year-old rap star, who is on tour with Florida Georgia Line, had
performed with the country band at the White River Amphitheater hours
earlier. Nelly was taken into custody at 4:37 a.m. Nelly’s lawyer
refuted the accusation.
Nelly,
a native of St. Louis, Missouri, reportedly met the woman in Seattle
after the show and brought her back to the bus. He has been booked on
second degree rape charges.
