On October 11, law enforcement officials pulled over Nelly’s tour bus and found heroin, more than 10 pounds of marijuana, and a load .45 caliber handgun.
An employee on the bus, Brian Keith Jones, was arrested, and Nelly released a statement claiming he had nothing to do with the matter.
In an interview with MTV News, Nelly gave his thoughts on the matter. “I think it’s always alarming. I think in this case it’s really alarming when you find yourself in a situation that you didn’t put yourself in,” he told MTV News on Tuesday (October 23). “That’s the only thing that I think is baffling, and I think that’s the part that hurts the most.”
“You work so hard to achieve certain things, and it’s not the consequence that hurts you the most, [it’s] the perception,” explained Nelly.
The St. Louis rapper elaborated on what he meant with regards to his public perception. “For 14 years, I made my perception what I wanted to make my perception and now my perception may be slightly changed,” he said. “Not because of what I did, but because of what someone else did and I think that’s the part that hurts you the most.”

Like he didn’t know there was 10lbs of bud on that bus SMH
lol right
My thoughts exactly. Some smokes pot, you can tell, and wasn’t there even heroin on the bus, is he trying to suggest his got members on his team that are serious addicts and he doesn’t know. Nelly, you just played yourself and told the truth. Obviously, the guy who got arrested took all the heat so you could maintain your “public perception”, however, that was a party bus and you were partaking.
When you have your friends just load their bags under the bus, everyone is moving, loading, and talking trash, anything can be overlooked.
You can’t miss weed being smoked and if you can’t tell one of your boys is a heron addict or that something is crazy wrong with him, then you might as well be shooting up yourself

It’s Ja Rule’s Dope Son!
When you roll with “Hood” folks, you get “Hood”results. When when entertainers and athletes learn that most that are stuck in the “Hood” are stuck there for a reason. Grown men with bags of dope is inexcusable. It’s time for our men to grow up and become responsible. Living the hood life NEVER has a good outcome. Never.
