Nelly addressed his current legal situation following a publicized drug possession arrest last weekend in Tennessee.

The drug bust went down Saturday (April 11).

Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday. Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker.

Police found multiple drugs and handguns on Nelly’s tour bus during their investigation.

Trooper Loftis, assisted by THP Sgt. Donald Jennings, then conducted a probable cause search of the bus. The troopers discovered in the sleeper area a plastic bag that contained five colored crystal-type rocks that tested positive for methamphetamine, as well as a small amount of marijuana and other drug paraphernalia. Further investigation revealed approximately 100 small Ziploc bags that are commonly associated with the sale of narcotics and numerous handguns, including a gold-plated 50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol, a 45-caliber Tarus pistol, and a 500 magnum Smith and Wesson.

  1. If I were him I wouldn’t perform there again. That’s how sponsors do. Soon as you become a political liability they forget or reject your humanity, err on the side of caution, and cut off all ties with you to save their brand. Everything is business in this white man’s world.
