IN the hours following American rapper Nelly’s arrest for allegedly assaulting a woman on his tour bus, fans have taken to social media to post “creepy” videos of the 42-year-old on stage.
The Hot In Here hitmaker was arrested by police in Washington state, according to The Sun, after a woman called 911 to report an alleged assault that took place on the rapper’s tour bus.
The musician, who is currently on tour with country band Florida Georgia Line, was taken in to custody around 1am AEDT on Sunday morning, but has since been released from jail.

Taking to Twitter, Nelly said he was “completely innocent” and “the victim of a false allegation”.
Let me say that I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation. I am completely innocent. I am confident that once the facts are looked at , it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation.

I do want to apologize to my loved ones for the embarrassment and for putting myself in a situation where I could be victimized by this false and defaming allegation.

I also want to thank my fans for their unwavering support. They know me. I assure you I will be vindicated. And I assure you, I will pursue every legal option to address this defaming claim. Thank you
