Nelly's lawyer has claimed that ‘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 legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.’

According to TMZ, Nelly has been arrested for purportedly raping a woman.

Law enforcement sources tell say, a woman claims she was raped on the rapper's tour bus -- which was parked in a Walmart lot in Washington where Nelly has been performing. Nelly is on a tour with Florida Georgia Line & they’re set to perform Saturday night in Ridgefield, Washington. 

We gathered that the alleged rape took place Saturday morning at 3:48 AM. We also learnt that she specifically said Nelly is the one who raped her.

Nelly was booked on second degree rape charges Saturday morning at around 7 AM & released shortly after.
