Following reports that Nelly has been arrested on an alleged rape charge, the rapper’s lawyer has since come forward with an official statement addressing the matter.

“Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation,” the rapper’s attorney shared in a statement. “Our initial investigation clearly establishes the allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once the scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges.”

One fan has since shared a now-viral clip of Nelly following his performance in Washington last night (Oct. 6), with the fan noting that the performer was “creepy” when interacting with a young fan on stage.
