Another day, another celebrity having to speak out to clear their name over seemingly suspect claims against him. We’ve probably all heard about the rape claim against Nelly that was sparked by an unnamed woman on Saturday, October 7, 2017. According to TMZ, she’d claimed ‘she was raped on the rapper’s tour bus — which was parked in a Walmart lot in Washington — where he’s been performing.’ She told law enforcement that the alleged rape went down at 3:48 a.m. Saturday morning.

Nelly was arrested and released a few hours later without being charged for any crime. He immediately took to social media to claim his innocence and blasted the “lies” he said the accuser was telling.

Recap Of Why Accuser Has Suddenly Dropped Charges

Well that was then and this is now. As we previously reported, less than one week later, the accuser and her lawyer released a lengthy letter on Friday (10-14-17), trying to explain why she is suddenly dropping all charges against Nelly:

Via TMZ: The woman who accused Nelly of rape is refusing to testify, and wants the whole matter dropped … TMZ has learned. The woman’s attorney says her client has told the Auburn PD in Washington State, and the King County D.A. to “put a halt to the criminal investigation of [Nelly]. She will not testify further in a criminal proceeding against him.” Her attorney says the young woman feels the system has failed her and she can’t stand up to a celebrity. “Who will believe her? People are saying horrible things already. She cannot handle this. She is about to break.”

Fast forward to today and both Nelly and his attorney have spoken out and kept it 100 with everybody. See what they said below.

Nelly’s Attorney Demands Justice

It’s now been reported that Nelly’s attorney is demanding far more than a statement from the woman’s attorney:

Via TMZ: Nelly’s attorney Scott Rosenblum tells us …the accuser’s “reckless accusation, once investigated thoroughly, was exposed for what it was-a fabrication. A fabrication that has caused Nelly and his family to suffer emotionally and financially.” He’s not satisfied though, and says he wants a public apology from the woman, and will recommend Nelly consider taking legal action against her.

Nelly Gives Message To Folks Who Turned Their Backs After Rape Allegations

Nelly’s message was posted on Instagram on Saturday morning and although it wasn’t as lengthy as his attorney’s message, it was as straight up as it gets. Apparently many folks he knows personally and probably even some fans, turned were quick to believe the accuser and turn their backs on him before finding out all of the facts. Now that the woman has backed off her claims, Nelly addressed his naysayers with a 10-word message and 2 hashtags:

derrtymo: If you ain’t call me yesterday don’t call me today…!!!! #ASMYCIRCLEGETSSMALLER #ALLWORKNOPLAY

It’s like the Old School saying goes, ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ That’s something Nelly just experienced first-hand.
