Rapper NELLY was reportedly arrested on Saturday morning (07Oct17) on second degree rape charges.

The Hot in Herre singer has been accused of raping an unnamed woman on his tour bus in Washington state at around 3.45am on Saturday, according to TMZ.com.

Nelly, real name Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., was booked on second degree rape charges and is reportedly still in custody.

The 42-year-old was scheduled to perform in Ridgefield, Washington on Saturday night as part of his ongoing tour with country duo Florida Georgia Line.

His representative has yet to comment on the arrest report.

The rap star has had a number of legal issues in recent years, including an arrest in 2015 for felony drug possession, after Tennessee state troopers found narcotics paraphernalia on his tour bus. He was also slapped with a $2 million tax lien by America's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2016.

In June, he told Rolling Stone magazine his legal troubles were behind him, insisting he had sorted out the IRS situation within a couple of weeks.

"I mean, there were some f**ked-up moments," he said, "but I was never down. It was a situation where I needed to clean up business. We all go through that. But that was it. I cleaned it up and now we're doing what we do."

Nelly has been on tour with Florida Georgia Line, with whom he recorded the hit Cruise, since June (17). The trek is set to finish later this month.

The tour also included U.S. stadium dates with the Backstreet Boys and Chris Lane. (HW/WNWCZM/HW&KL)**

(Cover) - FR Showbiz - La femme qui accuse Nelly de viol demande à la police d’abandonner les charges contre le rappeur. Son avocate, Karen Koehler, a annoncé que sa cliente a changé d’avis et ne souhaite pas témoigner contre le chanteur.

Dans un courrier envoyé à TMZ, l’avocate explique : « Nous ne vivons pas dans une société où une jeune étudiante de 21 ans se sent assez en sécurité pour poursuivre des charges criminelles contre une célébrité dans une affaire de viol avéré… Qui va la croire ? Les gens disent déjà des choses horribles sur elle. Elle ne peut pas supporter cela. Elle est sur le point de craquer ».

L’avocate s’en prend aussi à la façon dont l’affaire a été prise en charge, notamment le fait que les forces de l'ordre ont promis à sa cliente que personne ne serait au courant de leur entretien pour discuter de l’affaire jusqu’à ce que l’affaire soit close, alors que les médias ont été immédiatement alertés.

De son côté, Nelly a toujours nié les faits. « Je suis plus que choqué d’avoir été la cible de fausses allégations. Je suis complètement innocent. J’ai confiance que lorsque les faits seront examinés, tout sera clair et que je suis victime de fausses allégations. Je vous l’assure, je vais prendre toutes les mesures légales pour répondre à cette diffamation… Pour être très clair, aucune charge ne pèse contre moi et aucune caution n’a été réclamée. J’ai été relâché (de garde à vue) en attendant la suite de l’enquête », avait déclaré Nelly après son arrestation.
