Last night, police raided Nelly’s tour bus at a checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, discovering heroin, marijuana and a loaded gun.
According to TMZ, cops pulled the bus over and performed a search. During the inspection, they discovered 36 small bags of heroin totaling .64 ounces, over 10 pounds of marijuana in a large green duffle bag and a loaded .45 pistol.
Seven people were on Nelly’s bus at the time, including the rapper, and were all detained during the inspection. One of the passengers named Brian Keith Jones admitted that the contraband was his. Nelly and the others were released.
This is the same checkpoint where celebrities including Fiona Apple, Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson have been pinched for drugs over the past few years.
UPDATE: Nelly has denied any involvement with the bust on his bus last night. In a statement to TMZ, he says that it all lies in the hands of the sole individual who brought the contraband on the bus.
“It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning,” said Nelly. “Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.”

Publicity stunt for this bargain bin rapper.
Not saying it was Nellys,,,and all…but i’m not shocked either…Nelly used to really be out there slanging and kicking down doors….he just don’t rap about it…he had probably done more gangsta things than your average “gangsta rapper”. Nelly was actually funding the st lunatics before they got big with dope money. So its not surpising that he still associates with a few street niggaz still
can’t run into an incident article without some retard screamin that “publicity stunt” shit
quit saying that shit why would a millionare take a chance at losing his freedom. Come son be smart. They got cauight up shit happens.
Ye i remember seeing a documentary on Nelly years ago on MTV and his family and people from his hood were saying he used to sell dope and get up to shit before the music and then Nelly said he dont rap about it because he dont do it no more his rich famous and happy that really made me respect him more
Brian Keith is going to have a good pay day soon
“years ago on MTV”
That was last year and it was on VH1.
Nelly’s alive?!?!?!
Damn playboy, I totally get the green and loaded four-fifth, but what’s up with the individually bagged up boy?……
Since he dont sell music no more, Nelly sellin tha black tar!!!
based on what this article says, the police carried on an illegal search without a warrant, lacking probable cause. you can’t just pull people over and search their shit, unless theres a plain view rule, smell doens’t count legally either. probably just ignorant people consenting to a search they don’t actually have to. know the law. or actually report on what really happened because this story has a lot of holes in it….
Who told you this? Have you ever been to Texas? They have checkpoints all the time where they search vehicles if they THINK you are suspicious. That is their probable cause. I got stopped at a checkpoint once and had my whole car searched and sniffed out by a K-9 dog for drugs because I was driving close to the border. So…I am not sure what you are talking about, and also, State Law might be different…you know, per State?
If a cop smells drugs you don’t think that’s PROBABLE CAUSE to do a search of a vehicle? Haha… Y’all “smart-dumb” niggas kill me, lmao
It’s a checkpoint on the U.S./Mexican border dickshit…..
One person admitted to owning it all…….Im guessing he gets a nice new house when he’s out of prison.
That’s what real niggas do. Waynes’ “friends” let him take the fall and I bet he still hangs around them same niggas.
It’ll be a dealer or fall guy anyway, its what he’s supposed to do, bagged up is intent to supply, he would have been better off in one lump.
lol While yall talking shit about him being a ‘bargain bin rapper’ and not being relevant to your lives. The homie is still worth over 55 million and makes MILLIONS yearly. . .So while you’re at home talking shit over the internet. Think about that.
So what are we suppose to think about actually since none of us are his accountant or financial advisor. I’m sure no one here gives two sh*tsabout his money well maybe ya fruity ass does.
shit happen when u make raping
“makes MILLIONS yearly”
I seriously doubt that, but thanks for a breakdown of Nelly’s finances.
there’s a reply button
who is this guy?!
10 pounds….i’d jump naked into that lol
Mofo’s need to learn their 4th Amendment rights and stop letting these cops run up on them like that.. When you implement your rights and stand your ground they ain’t searching shit… Mofo’s need to act like white people when they get pulled over and damn near snap on a cop if necessary.. Don’t Consent To Searches… But if they smell or see an open container or something like that the 4th won’t work for you..
Profiling, probable cause, checkpoints, DMV clauses on forms say they can search your car with or without consent. Stop telling these kids that nonsense and go inform yourself so you can see how foolish you’ve been.
10 lbs…thats a stench
“there’s a reply button”
Do quotations confuse you?
Serious karma for being stupid enough to battle KRS-One
Fuck yeah! To battle KRS-One, even now, you need lyrics! When did Nelly ever have that?
Sounds like somebody in Nelly’s crew is selling drugs. Every rap crew always has at least one dude like that.
only black people can do something this stupid. first columbine, colorado massacre, now this.come on
epic fail usage of sarcasm
Has nothing to do with color. White people do dumb shit too….

Nelly is the one with the cash. Tell your loser friends to leave the guns and grams at home.

Nelly has been perpetually garbage since Country Grammar.
