De ster, die onder meer bekend is van de hits Dilemma' en Hot in Herre', was op dat moment aan het touren met de Florida Georgia Line'. Hij ontkent de aantijging ook in alle toonaarden. "Ik ben geschokt, ik ben volledig onschuldig", schrijft Nelly op Twitter. "Ik heb er alle vertrouwen in dat als alle feiten bekend zijn het duidelijk zal worden dat ik het slachtoffer ben van een valse beschuldiging."
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.
