Impact-Site-Verification: 01f5b60e-816b-4abb-93ad-b286a0406561 Rapper Nelly, born Cornell Haynes II, faced an unexpected setback this summer but is now cleared of any drug-related charges.The incident unfolded on August 7, 2024, at the Hollywood Casino & Hotel in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Nelly, there to collect several jackpots he’d won, was stopped by a casino trooper who informed him that a warrant check was required for large winnings. This routine check revealed an outstanding warrant from a 2018 citation for driving without proof of insurance, which led to his brief arrest.
According to Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, the warrant search and subsequent arrest were unnecessary, and any legal concerns have since been resolved. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell later confirmed that no charges would be pursued, stating that there was insufficient cause for further legal action.
Nelly is well-known for chart-topping hits like “Hot in Herre” and “Just a Dream” and is celebrated as a three-time Grammy winner. Beyond music, he has also made appearances in both film and television, solidifying his place as a multi-talented artist.

Whether on the charts, in movies, or live on stage, Nelly continues to make waves and connect with audiences in powerful ways.
