After Nelly made headlines last week when a woman claimed he’d raped her on his tour bus recently, social media was in a frenzy and Nelly was livid. He repeatedly denied the woman’s claims and he and his attorney said that they had proof she was lying. Although Nelly was arrested for the rape claims, cops soon released him without charges. That alone, threw up red flags among many of Nelly’s fans, who already didn’t believe the woman’s claims against the “Number One” rapper.
What The Accuser Claimed
In case y’all missed it, here’s what was originally reported about the accuser’s claims:
Via TMZ: Law enforcement sources tell us, a woman claims she was raped on the rapper’s tour bus — which was parked in a Walmart lot in Washington — where he’s been performing. Nelly is on a tour with Florida Georgia Line and they are set to perform Saturday night in Ridgefield, Washington. We’re told the alleged rape occurred Saturday morning at 3:48 AM. We’re told she specifically said Nelly is the one who raped her.
Nelly’s Attorney’s Clap-back
Nelly’s attorney then shot back with this statement:
“Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation. Our initial investigation, clearly establishes the allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once the scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to pursue all all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.” -Nelly’s attorney, via TMZ

Accuser Now Refuses To Testify, Here’s Why
The accuser and her lawyer released a lengthy letter 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.”

Not sure what -if any- is really up with the young lady’s decision to suddenly drop her case. But pretty sure, many will say the fact that she dropped it so soon makes the claim seem a little suspicious now.
