It was approximately five years ago that Lil Wayne ran into serious legal trouble after authorities searched his bus and found contraband, which eventually contributed to his three-year stint at Riker’s Island.
It seems Nelly didn’t learn anything from Weezy.
Last night, Texas Border Control searched the St. Louis rapper’s tour bus. The K-9 unit sniffed out 36 baggies of heroin and over ten pounds of marijuana.
In addition to the drugs found, authorities also recovered a loaded .45 caliber handgun.
One of the bus’ passenger, Brian Keith Jones claimed that the guns and drugs were his.
UPDATE: Nelly issues a statement.
“It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning, October 11th. Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials in Sierra Blanca, Texas did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.”
