Nelly has been on Black women’s Most Wanted List ever since the St. Louis-based rapper slid a credit card down a woman’s backside in the infamous “Tip Drill” video about a decade ago. And his behavior that was captured on video recently may vault him to the top of that list.
Fans have begun posting videos of Nelly in concert performing with girls who appear to be in elementary school. To make the matter worse, Nelly is videotaped twirling the girls’ hair.
The postings started right after Nelly, born Cornell Haynes Jr., was arrested this past Saturday in Washington state after a woman told police he raped her on his tour bus. Police took Nelly into custody in the early morning and took him to a jail in Des Moines, Washington on suspicion of rape in the second-degree. He would later be released without any charges being filed.
Nelly may be cleared in the rape case, but this concert footage below presents a real PR nightmare, and Black Twitter was quick to point that out. Take a look:

Even with Nelly cleared of rape charges I still have questions about him playing in little girls hair at concerts
