The rapper was booked into the Putnam County Jail and later released on bond. No formal charges have been filed against Nelly at this time. His attorney, Scott Rosenblum, issued a statement expressing confidence that his client will be exonerated.

"Nelly has been a pillar in the St. Louis and music community for more than two decades," Rosenblum said. "We are confident that he will be cleared of these allegations and that his reputation will remain intact."

Nelly's arrest comes as a surprise to many of his fans and supporters. The rapper has maintained a clean criminal record throughout his career. However, he has faced other legal challenges in the past.

In 2015, Nelly was sued by a woman who accused him of sexual assault. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed, but the allegations cast a shadow over his reputation.

Nelly has also been involved in several lawsuits related to his business dealings. In 2019, he was sued by his former managers for allegedly withholding millions of dollars in earnings. The lawsuit was later settled out of court.

Despite these legal challenges, Nelly has continued to release music and perform live. He is currently working on a new album and is scheduled to perform at several upcoming concerts.

Nelly's arrest is a reminder that even the most successful people can find themselves facing legal trouble. It is unclear at this time whether the allegations against Nelly will result in any formal charges. However, his arrest is sure to cast a negative light on his career.
