Nelly Got Arrested For Felony Drug Possession

Sooo… remember Nelly? The “rapper” who sang about how you need to strip down because of how hot it is? Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. When last we heard from him, he was being detained by police for having a shit ton of weed and heroin on his tour bus. Fast-forward three years and it looks like it’s more of the same, only this time Nelly was arrested for having a shit ton of weed, ecstasy and METH on his bus. Jesus.

From TMZ:

A state trooper pulled over the bus Saturday morning for not having a required Dept. of Transportation sticker … and when the officer caught a strong whiff of pot … he decided to conduct a search.

Cops say they found a baggie with crystal rocks that tested positive for meth, and a small amount of marijuana in the sleeper area of the bus. They say they also found quite the stash of guns — a .50 caliber pistol, a .45 caliber pistol, and a .500 magnum Smith and Wesson.

Nelly was booked for the meth — a felony — and misdemeanor marijuana possession. He was also booked for drug paraphernalia — cops say there were about 100 small Ziplock bags commonly used for the sale of drugs.

But guys, let’s not get ahead of ourselves – just because this has totally happened before doesn’t mean Nelly’s guilty! In fact, he swears all those drugs aren’t even his, they were put there by someone else!

Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, tells TMZ, there were 15 to 20 people who had access to the bus prior to the stop and there were multiple people on the bus when cops searched it.  Rosenblum seems to take issue with cops on the meth issue, saying “a small quantity of [MDMA/Ecstasy] was discovered.”

Rosenblum adds, “Nelly will not be associated with the contraband that was allegedly discovered.”

LOL, yeah, okay dude. Whatever you say.

  • Rapper shouldn’t be in quotation marks. He had many hits (including being featured in recent country hits), put St. Louis on the map, and does A LOT of charity work.

  • probably a fuck ton more charity than you do. like I said he is a successful musician, thereby not drug money. Read a book for me once.
