Students at Missouri State University won’t be seeing Nelly in concert next week.
Days after the rapper was arrested in Tenessee for suspicion of drug possession, the school – in the rapper’s home state – has canceled the show.
The multi-platinum selling recording artist was slated to headline the MSU Student Activity Council’s “Big Spring Concert” April 23.
In a statement released by the university, the school “apologizes for the inconvenience” and claims it will offer full refunds to ticket-holders.
