Nelly took to Twitter to address his arrest and recent rape allegations head-on.
The rapper maintains his innocence and has apologized to his loved ones for the embarrassment he caused by putting himself in ‘a situation where I could be victimized’ by false accusations.
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.
