Nelly Arrested for Possession of Ecstasy

Nelly Arrested for Possession of Ecstasy

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that Nelly‘s life seems to be a rollercoaster ride filled with highs and lows. His latest legal trouble is certainly a low point, but it’s important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and it doesn’t define their entire character.


Nelly is facing legal trouble in Missouri.

As a devoted follower reporting, I was taken into custody in the wee hours of August 7th, as per Missouri State Highway Patrol records viewed by TopMob News. The charges against me include possession of illicit substances – specifically, four ecstasy pills – and lack of valid auto insurance.

The arrest occurred at 4:45 AM in Nelly’s hometown of St. Louis, M.O., and stemmed from a failure to appear for a warrant for a previous traffic charge of not having insurance, according Missouri State Highway Patrol via NBC News. The warrant violation was discovered when the 49-year-old was asked to show his ID to state troopers stationed at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, a Missouri State Highway Patrol told TMZ.

Later on, police searched Nelly (whose real name is Cornell Haynes II). During this search, they discovered four ecstasy pills he had on him. According to reports, the renowned rapper known for “Ride Wit Me” was taken into custody at the Maryland Heights Police Department but has since been freed.

TopMob News has reached out to Nelly’s rep for comment but has not heard back yet.

News surfaces about Nelly’s arrest, which follows less than four months since Nelly and Ashanti announced their engagement and pregnancy expectations. Subsequently, it was disclosed that they had secretly married in December 2023, as reported by TMZ. The union was officially recognized in St. Louis County.

Their wedding ceremony is deeply rooted in a lengthy past shared by Nelly and Ashanti, who were once romantic partners around the turn of the millennium before parting ways in 2013. However, in September 2023, Nelly officially announced that they had reignited their relationship.

“He remarked on the show ‘Boss Moves with Rasheeda’ that both of us were taken aback, but being apart can provide clarity about each other. You might find yourself thinking, ‘Hmmm, let me try to see their perspective.’ Since we all can be protective in our relationships, and even when we know we’re wrong, we tend to hold onto our stance.”

Speaking about their newborn, it will be the first child for the couple, but Nelly already has two children – daughter Chanelle, who is 30 years old, and son Cornell Haynes III, who is 25. Besides his biological kids, he also adopted his sister Jackie Donahue’s children, Shawn and Sydney Thomas, after she passed away from cancer in 2005.
