St. Louis’ Nelly was arrested for felony drug possession, simple possession of marijuana, and simple possession of drug paraphernalia in Tennessee on Saturday (April 11).
According to a media release from the Tennessee Department Of Safety And Homeland Security, Nelly’s tour bus was pulled over by Trooper Michael Loftis and Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Donald Jennings for failing to display a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) sticker.
State troopers reportedly smelled marijuana after boarding the vehicle. A search conducted by the troopers revealed five rocks which “tested positive for methamphetamine” along with several guns, small amounts of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.
Nelly, who’s real name is Cornell Haynes, was released from Tennessee’s Putnam County jail on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 19.

Why do these dumb asses think they can just traffic around the country with guns and drugs, and be above the law? Let me tell yall, I ain’t ballin like these motherfuckers but my life is good enough to where I’m not risking my freedom being taken over being stupid. If I wanted to smoke up without a care in the world, I’d go to one of the states where the shit is legal… oh wait, yeah I did that, I moved to Colorado and now I can smoke the most potent shit and the only thing I gotta worry about is if I’m gonna run out of Twinkies or not.
Because they can almost always post bond and have someone in their crew take the charge for them. Guarantee Nelly doesn’t do any time for this.
@Yeah Hao
Props.
Chingy be calling in favours and shit.
This nikka on meth now?? Smh.

LMFAO 5 rocks of meth
thought only white people did meth
This is pretty interesting being that this isn’t the first time he’s got into trouble on his tour bus. If you missed it, Nelly’s boy took the fall a while back for having multiple LBS of marijuana and a small amount of heroin on the bus. Look it up if you don’t believe me. 40 yrs old….he needs to chill while on tour.
idiot fuck
If you wanna take a ride wit me
Hide your rocks when you Rollin through Tennessee
Oh why must I feel this way
Nelly and other rappers need to have better control over their tour operations. only deal with above-board mainstream bus companies with a positive track record. That should hopefully take care of having proper license plates, stickers, etc.
As far as personnel goes, people have to be mindful that these state troopers have “Busing while Black” customs. “Rappers” are going to get pulled over more often than country western singers or rockers.
If people like to participate in “stuff” then said “stuff” doesn’t need to be anywhere near the bus during transit. Same with any unregistered weapons. drugs need to be thrown away. An alternative is to have a “courier” driving in a car separate from the bus. This way if the bus gets pulled over, no drugs can be found, no weapons can be found.
Meth heads in rap…smh..Yo Gotti got busted for the same thing but his was coke on a tour bus..Nelly sucks anyway..
Ain’t learned from the first time…smh. It’s been rumored for a while he be drugging out on tour. Then on top of dat he rollin’ wit an entourage fulla drug headz.
Chingy laughing from whatever gaybar he in
Everything was unsurprising until they mentioned the meth. Hopefully it wasn’t Nelly’s. Meth is literally one of the WORST drugs you could be addicted to.
