On February 8, rapper Nelly was compelled to apologize when his name became trending on Twitter. His 3.3 million Instagram followers were taken aback when he released an intimate video of himself on his stories. Since the video went viral, Twitter has been inundated with memes about it. Despite the fact that the rapper’s face was not seen in the video, the performer’s voice could be recognized. The video was eventually removed from his Instagram stories, but it was obtained by admirers.
Nelly, aka Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., issued an apology through TMZ. He said that:
“I truly apologize to the young woman and her family; this is unfavorable PR for her/them.”
The rapper went on to say that the video was intended to be private and that it was never meant to be shared publicly.
Twitter is in a frenzy over Nelly’s latest Instagram story.
As the video was being seen by a large number of people, Nelly’s managers made a statement claiming that his phone had been hacked. According to reports, the hackers gained access to his personal data, putting critical information such as bank records in the wrong hands.

Last month, the rapper made news when he slammed Madonna’s lingerie shoot. In relation to her, he said on social media that “certain things should be kept hidden.” Netizens rushed to the singer’s defense. The Austin, Texas native has also been accused of a number of sexual assaults. Monique Greene, the woman who accused the rapper of abuse, declined to cooperate with authorities. She then withdrew the accusations but continued to sue him for slander. Another woman accused the rapper of sexual assault in 2019. The rapper and the claimed victim “just resolved their issue,” according to Hip Hop DX. The specifics of their arrangement or the amount of money exchanged have not been disclosed.
