More Details About Nelly’s Drug Possession Arrest In August
As The Shade Room previously reported, the rapper was reportedly arrested on August 7. At the time, it was reported that he had been taken into custody that morning in St. Louis.
Furthermore, it was asserted that the rapper was found with ecstasy pills. Per TMZ, Nelly’s arrest reportedly stemmed from a 2018 warrant “for no insurance from a previous traffic stop.”
Ultimately, the rapper was reportedly booked on “felony drug possession.”
Furthermore, in August, Rosenblum spoke out about Nelly’s arrest, asserting that officers’ claim of finding ecstasy on Nelly’s person was bogus. Additionally, Rosenblum asserted that Nelly had never received notice of the 2018 warrant.
