St. Louis, MO - Rapper Nelly, born Cornell Haynes II, was arrested early Wednesday morning, August 7, 2024, in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. The arrest occurred around 4:45 AM at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Gaming Division.
Nelly was initially stopped due to an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court for a traffic violation related to driving without insurance, which dates back to 2018. Upon verification of his identity and during a subsequent search, officers discovered four ecstasy pills on his person.
The rapper, known for hits like "Hot In Herre" and "Country Grammar", was taken into custody and booked for felony drug possession and an outstanding warrant for no vehicle insurance. His mugshot showed him with bloodshot eyes but otherwise nondescript. He has since been released from custody, and there has been no statement from Nelly or his representatives regarding the incident as of yet.
This incident comes amid a mix of personal ups and downs for Nelly. He recently reconciled with his longtime partner, Ashanti, and the couple confirmed they are expecting their first child together. The pair also secretly tied the knot in December 2023.
Despite the recent legal troubles, fans hope Nelly can navigate this challenging period and continue focusing on his music and personal life. Further updates are awaited as the situation develops.
