Rapper Nelly settles with Seattle woman who accused him of rape

The woman, Monique Greene, claimed last October she was at a show in Auburn where Nelly had performed and then was invited to hang out with him aboard his tour bus.

Once on the bus, she claims Nelly sexually assaulted her then kicked her out and tossed a $100 bill at her.

The rapper, whose real name is Cornell I. Haynes Jr., was arrested a few hours later on his tour bus in an Auburn Walmart parking lot.

He was released a few hours later and prosecutors later said they weren’t charging him because Greene wasn’t cooperating with the case.

Greene filed a lawsuit and Nelly countersued, claiming that the sex was consensual and her lawsuit was motivated by “greed and vindictiveness.” KOMO News generally doesn’t name people who say they are victims of sex crimes, but Greene’s lawyer said she agreed to be publicly identified.

Lawyers for both parties agreed this week to dismiss their cases, but there were conflicting reports on the terms of the settlement.

The 43-year-old rapper is best known for his early 2000s songs such as “Hot in Herre” and “Over and Over.”
