Nelly says he is still "baffled" over his surprise tour bus raid that occurred a few weeks ago. On Oct. 11, authorities in Sierra Blanca, Texas pulled over his vehicle and found over 10 pounds of marijuana, multiple bags of heroin and a loaded .45 caliber handgun.

Nelly got a scare this week (Oct. 10) when police detained him and his seven-person entourage at a border control checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. While the 'Hot in Herre' rapper didn't comment on the allegations earlier when news broke, he's now releasing a statement on the incident.

Back in March, B.o.B told us what to expect of his Nelly-assisted track ‘MJ,’ which at the time was slated to appear on his second LP, ‘Strange Clouds’ (in stores this week). Turns out it’s actually only available as a bonus cut at Target, and now it’s recently made its way online.

The Trayvon Martin case continues to be a polarizing social issue and has caught the attention of celebrities, President Obama and now, artists in the music community. Diddy, Frank Ocean, The-Dream, Nelly and others have posted photos on their Twitter accounts wearing hoodies in remembrance of Trayvon Martin.

Nelly has had a great rapport with the sports world for years with his hits ‘Number 1′ and ‘Batter Up’ being played in stadiums constantly. Now, the St. Louis-bred rapper teamed up with ESPN on an original track and video, ‘The Champ,’ solidifying himself as a champion of both sports and music.
