*Nelly came clean on VH1’s “Behind the Music” on this past Monday’s episode. The St. Louis rapper admitted to being a teenage drug dealer (marijuana, cocaine and more) and taking his baby daughter at the time with him to make deals.
“Sometimes I would ride with my daughter in the car to go make transactions. A couple of times, me, her and my baby mother would be in the car and we would be ridin’ dirty… I was very naive.”
In striving to keep his baby fed and money in his pocket, he eventually added robbery to his list of illegal entrepreneurial occupations.
At times, things did get dangerous. He said once a victim tried to escape, forcing Nelly to fire his gun twice at the man’s vehicle as it sped off.
“I walked the guy over to the truck, because I wanted everything that was in the truck as well. The guy slammed the door so I kinda bag up (grab the stolen items) and I hit (shoot at) the door, pow pow, the guy pulls off. I didn’t know if I’d hit him, I didn’t know what had happened, hopefully my aim’s terrible as hell and the best thing I did was hit his door, because I think of what my life could be right now. Oh my goodness.”
I watched his Behind the Music earlier this week. I really felt for him when he discussed his upbringing and his sisters death. Ashanti (undercover girlfriend)was also heavily featured in the special.
I seen that Behind The Music also. Ashanti is Nelly’s undercover gf? Nah. Nothing is undercover about that relationship.
Talk about dodging a bullet!! literally I mean. Nelly was lucky that he did not encounter a drive by or soenthing when he was making his transactions or he and his baby mama and small daughter could of been injured or worse killed.
Couldn’t these “confessions” be further investigated and charges brought up against him if a/the victim cam forth?
