JoeJoe Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 NASHVILLE (AP) — Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday. Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release that Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker. According to the release troopers smelled marijuana when they reached the bus. When troopers searched the bus, they found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Bailey Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Doesnt mean Nelly is using it though...just says it was found in the bus THIS....you can roll with a crew that get down in ways you dont....If anything I suspect Nelly smoke weed, like millions do, so lawyer up, fight it down to some fines and move on. Did he test positive for meth use? Do they have evidence he even had anything in his system? If he was on a bus he wasnt alone, can he be held accountable for the actions of people working with or for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 is that a racist area? Pretty much. It's really nothing but hicks and rednecks around there. That's Tennessee in general, but especially in the Cookeville area where he is, toward Memphis, and parts near my hometown of Chattanooga.

Yeah, if you have any color, it should always be a place to drive straight through. Don't stop unless you need to, otherwise wait until you get closer to Nashville (going West) or Knoxville (going East), lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboy06 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Tennessee is one of the longest states to drive thru. Luckily, I didn't get pulled over or had to stop in some po dunk area. And trust me, it would have been near a city like Memphis, Knoxville, or Nashville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Where ya going? You should come West! I was definitely thinking about going West either to Portland or Seattle, but I prefer California's weather, lol. Though, a big part of me has considered leaving the US completely. I'm not 100% sure yet which is why I'm going to be travelling the next two summers to see which place on my list feels most like a new home to me.

I can see you in any of those places, I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE Portland, I'm waiting for an excuse to go back. I didn't spend enough time in Seattle, just speant a night and left the next afternoon, but had lunch in downtown. And as for Cali, it's funny I didn't even really picture myself living here until I visited in 2010 and stayed for like 3 and half weeks, and fell in LOVE with virtually everything, so yes I very much support your journey, you'll find the place that's home for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if I can count this as a vote in favor of Portland, then maybe I could be that excuse. I only visited once for a few days for some convention or something, but it was just a place I couldn't forget after all this time. I look forward to going back and just maybe I'll end up wanting to stay. Thanks so much. I hope I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSimba Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I stopped by Portland once on my way to Seattle, but it seemed like a very nice area. Same for Seattle ~ it's just more urban and a lot windier from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, and I'm a good excuse to come on down to the LA area, don't wanna brag but my tour guide skillz are pretty good after only 3 years of living here . Yea with both places I forgot I only stayed over night when me & the fam did 1 of our cross country road trips, but I got a overall better feel for Portland because we got there in the day still, where's we got to Seattle late at night, and left the next afternoon, but yea Portland definitely left a imprint on me too, like I want to spend more time in both places but more so Portland. You're welcome, and if you happen to visit the LA area let ya bro know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
