Nelly found himself in legal trouble early Wednesday morning in the St. Louis area.
Officials confirmed that the 49-year-old artist was taken into custody around 5 a.m. by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Gaming Division at the Hollywood Casino.
Nelly’s arrest stemmed from a failure-to-appear warrant dating back to 2018 out of Maryland Heights.
In addition to the warrant, police found Nelly in possession of four ecstasy pills, a controlled substance, and noted he was driving without insurance.
Nelly was later released from custody.
