When news broke early Saturday, that rapper, Nelly, had been arrested on rape charges, everybody was like ‘Undelay, undelay mami e-i-e-i Oh NOOO!’ In case y’all missed it, The Black Loop previously reported that ‘according to TMZ, investigators informed that a woman claims that she was on Nelly’s tour bus in Washington while he is on tour. Nelly is on a tour with Florida Georgia Line and they are set to perform Saturday night in Ridgefield, Washington. The unidentified woman claims that the veteran rapper raped her on his tour bus.’
USA Today then reported this:
According to the jail’s inmate database, he was arrested on suspicion of second-degree rape, indicating force was used or the victim was incapable of consent due to being physically helpless, mentally incapacitated or developmentally disabled.
Nelly and Attorney Give Update
Fast forward to some hours later, and Nelly and his lawyer have both spoken out denying ALL claims. By the way, this comes AFTER he has been released from jail and NOT CHARGED with rape….although the case is still pending…
Via USA Today: Rapper Nelly has been booked and released without being charged following his rape arrest in Auburn, Wash., his lawyer and manager tell USA TODAY. […] In an email, attorney Scott Rosenblum told USA TODAY, “Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation. Our initial investigation clearly establishes this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”
Nelly Vents About Allegation On Twitter
Nelly also took to Twitter and Instagram to voice his frustrations and adamantly state that the woman is lying through her teeth:

In addition to Nelly professing his innocence, someone who was in attendance during the alleged “rape,” left a comment underneath one of Nelly’s posts, claiming the same thing- that Nelly is innocent:
@keydana: Look I was there he didn’t do it this stripper B*tch is probably mad cause she didn’t get the money or the attention she wanted I promise he didn’t do this sh*t
This is CRAZY! I don’t know who did what to whom…but what’s clear is that somebody’s lying. I guess it’s only a matter of time before we know though. ILOSM family, who do y’all believe?
