Nelly was arrested this week for possession of four ecstasy pills, as well as driving without insurance, but he has since been released.
According to TMZ, the “Country Grammar” rapper was pulled over in a suburb just outside of his hometown of St. Louis early Wednesday morning (August 7). He was released a short time after.
His mugshot shows bloodshot eyes, but is otherwise nondescript. You can view it below.
The rapper has not released a statement regarding the incident as of this writing.

In more positive news, it was recently revealed Ashanti and Nelly are a married couple and have been for several months.
In June, TMZ got their hands on a marriage record for the expecting couple that revealed they tied the knot prior to the new year, on December 27, 2023.
While the document doesn’t state what city the lovers said ‘I do’ in, it was made official in St. Louis County, so it’s likely they wed in the rapper’s hometown.
Ashanti only just confirmed their engagement in April, and more recently, reflected on the moment her partner popped the question during a conversation with Entertainment Tonight.
“It was just such a beautiful, intimate moment,” she said. “We were not dressy.”
Considering the pair were lying in bed and watching TV in T-shirts and boxers, she was rightfully “shocked” he picked that setting.
The R&B icon added: “I cried. I gave him the biggest hug and kiss ever. I FaceTimed everyone I know … I was overjoyed and shocked and surprised and happy kind of like all in one.”
The couple got back together last year and are now expecting their first child together, which they revealed in conjunction with news of their engagement.
“The growth has been like superb, you know, like on both ends,” she said about their chemistry today compared to when they dated in the early 2000s. “We are both at a place where like before, sometimes we would argue and walk out, slam the door, and not talk for a few days.”
Come on Nelly, you’re too old for this foolishness
So he did pick something up from Ja Rule 😆
Breaking any law while driving a vehicle that instead insured or registered is the stupidest thing ever. Dudes a multi millionaire and not having car insurance…
U are so right about that. They are either stupid, arrogant or fucking both. Can’t wait to hear how he spins this.
Too much money to be self owning like that.
50yrs old and still popping X? He definitely has a drug problem.
At least we know why “It’s Gettin Hot In Here”lol
Everyone here talks like they would be all high and mighty if they had money and at a certain age. Yeah right.
Well at least he got the high part down at least 😆
Yall act like yall never done x before and if you do it your a drug addict haha.. and if you haven’t done it your probably a square anyways lol
No insurance is crazy, it’s cheap and you can get covered through an app. This man just lazy.
I’m more shocked about not having insurance than having possession of x lol… who’s not on x nowadays especially at festivals
insurance on 50 cards ads up, you cant just print it out though its not like they check been doun that 30 years lol far as the pills imma be rollin my off in jail or house 4 mo than normal so itll be an experience but no charges
I’m sure the officers sang “it’s gettin hot in hurrrr” before they stripped searched him
