Rapper Nelly is ready to take responsibility for his own choices after he was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana, crystal meth, and other drug paraphernalia on his tour bus.
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Hayes, was riding on his tricked out tour bus in Tennessee when his bus was pulled over by Tennessee highway patrol.
After a thorough search of the vehicle officers found the aforementioned drugs in addition to numerous hand guns. Of course Nelly denied ownership or knowledge of the drugs and guns. Not that it mattered to the police. He was cuffed and hauled off to jail along with six members of his entourage.
This is where Nelly’s epiphany about making the right “choices” comes into play.
You see, Nelly is 40-years-old with a stellar career and plenty of money in the bank. He can’t be rolling dirty with rough necks who will never be on his level.
So Nelly has made the choice to cut them loose if he wants to save his career as a spokesman for breakfast cereals and household products.
In a statement released through his rep, Nelly said:
Although I am unable to speak to the legal specifics and my attorney has put out a preliminary statement, I feel the need to take responsibility for my choices in needing to be more aware of the people I associate with and allow onto my property while committing to make better choices moving forward.
While my instinct of course, is to be accessible to my friends, fans and acquaintances, the last thing I would want to do is compromise the respect and admiration of my friends, family and fans.
Nelly is out of jail on $10,000 bond. His next court hearing is in June.

Good morning again everyone

Blanche- Do whatever you need to do, take whatever medication you need to take to fight this. Don’t let it take you over and put you in a bad place. As for your BD… You have to make your own choices on what’s best for you and what works for your family, happiness, and peace of mind. Not only for you but for the little Blanches. Sometimes we have to make hard, painful, uncomfortable choices to get to happy and peaceful. It’s always worth it in the end.
Dumb mofo shoulda been done that. Everybody that comes with you can’t go with you
But I am not surprised that he’s still making – in the words of his publicist – “bad choices”. You can tell that by the women he dates. Any many over 40 who constantly “chills” with women 30 and under clearly have some growing up to do themselves #justmyopinion
He’ll be dropped by Honey Nut Cheerios in a minute.
He’s taking responsibility yet he shirked the blame onto his friends by stating “be more aware of the people I associate with and allow onto my property.” Boy bye withco whack azz.
Mawnin Roses!
@MOD its soooo frustrating because I have my medication and even though it takes away the intensity of my anger and sadness. I don’t care about anything else either. I don’t wanna eat, cook, have sex or anything.
:eyeroll: This roided nigha. They’ve been saying he had money prollems due to gambling. Peddling drugs is probably his side hustle. He knew exactly what was on that bus
And he let Mayweather clown him. Mayweather stuteeing azz in the interview calling him Country Grammer. Said he ain’t had a hit album since 
Morning Rowsays!!!!
this tickled me.
‘ing for you Blanche!!
How’s your morning?
Cereal and household products-

Do you have a therapist/counselor or someone you can reach out to? Just to at least talk to. All of it is a beast to deal with, but that manic side is something else. Please get help babe

@Blanche, my prayers go out to you. I myself am going through a situation that may be a life changer for me. Most days I’m okay but then other times, not so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as other’s have stated, seek professional help if need be..
@Time, I thought Game was with that woman on his show, they broke up?
I gotta pee … but I don’t want to go to that restroom
Did anybody else know that Lil Scrappy has an album he put out this year?

@blanche
I hope u feel better. Depression is never easy. I have mood swings and I am always debating about going back in my meds. take it easy dear. U will get through
Numb sucks. I understand. My aunt struggled with manic depression for my whole life, I never knew my aunt before it. She passed several years ago from something unrelated. She was very vocal about it and for decades wouldn’t take her meds regularly because she’d rather feel the highs and lows than feel nothing. She said to the family once, a short time before she passed that it was only now that she was “old” that she realized sometimes numb was what she needed. She blamed herself for her kids ending up a mess as adults and when she realized her daughter was showing the signs of having manic depression as well she vowed to always stay on them. She worked with her dr to find a combo that made her feel as close to her old self as possible. Talk to your dr, a therapist if you have one. Make them do their jobs and figure out what combo will help you feel like the edge is off but still find enjoyment in life.
Blanche/ thinking of you. Praying for you. We are great here for you, but find a trained professional to help guide you.
so does he really want to be a lady? i don’t believe it.
——————-
I don’t believe it either.. I don’t think it’s a publicity stunt tho. He might be sick or something…
If he is going Mrs. Doubtfire imma need him to find some queens to get him togeva *two snaps* His scraggly hurr needs some conditioner and extensions hunty
He trynna say he wasn’t aware of the bus being dirty? I would think he would be more careful after the last time cuz my ass would have my own drug sniffing dog to sniff down the whole place before we leave
Let me add that she said what helped more than anything was therapy. Talking to someone and working through things. She called her meds band aids, she always said she needed them but they didn’t cure the issue, just covered it up. Therapy was what really got her through.
I’m watching the Bruce Jenner interview too. Everyone has dropped all these hints but until I hear him say he wants to be a lady I’m not completely buying it.
My comment didn’t stick
I’m waiting on my new insurance to start up. I can’t afford my high azz therapist but I so called make too much to go to a free clinic. I’m thinking about talking to my dads fiance for free in the meantime. Mania is scary. I over drafted my bank acct 800 dollars last time and ended 2 friendships. Luckily, now I have somebody to keep an eye on me and the money when need be. It will ruin your life though if you let it. I refuse.
Mawnin Roses……
awww Nelly I was rootin for you, thought you had yourself all the way together..
Blanche
idk what your going thru right now since I haven’t been here for a while, but I’m 
that you do what you need to do, so that you can be better for self first. Once you are better than for self, then you can be what you need to be for everyone else. Please do what you have to do to get better
@Blanche…
I will be saying some Prayers for you. Get whatever help you think you need.
Ummm…does anyone know if @Take made it out the woods?

Good Morning Roses
@Blanche
mommie 
sorry to hear your dilemma 
While you’re waiting on your insurance to kick in, take a week-end off to yourself, find a nice hotel and a beach and just meditate and relax your mind, have a talk with God, cry, let it all out 
hopefully that may give you some relief. Keep talking! 
i just wanna know who was doing the meth
