Rapper Nelly has been cleared of assault charges stemming from an incident at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, Missouri, on July 14, 2025. According to court documents, a plea deal was reached on April 29, in which the assault charge was dropped, and Nelly was issued a misdemeanor littering charge for throwing trash at the casino.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred when a casino security guard allegedly asked Nelly to show his player\u2019s card before entering a restricted area. According to the guard\u2019s report, Nelly responded by shoving him and then entering the area. The Missouri State Highway Patrol was called to the scene, and Nelly was later charged with misdemeanor assault in September 2025.<\/p>\n
Nelly\u2019s representative had previously denied the allegations, stating that the guard had blocked Nelly\u2019s path and invaded his space. The rep claimed that Nelly had guided the guard aside with minimal contact and no harm was done. Management later apologized and welcomed Nelly back to the casino.<\/p>\n
