Rapper Nelly, was arrested Saturday in Washington state after a lady told police he assaulted her.
Police captured Nelly American Rapper (Cornell Haynes) in the early morning and took him to a correctional facility in Des Moines, Washington, as indicated by a report from the police division in close-by Auburn.

“I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation,” he wrote. “I am confident that once the facts are looked at, it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation.”
