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.”

Nelly Arrested On Rape Accusation, Attorney Denies ‘Fabricated Allegation’
Nelly was arrested on Saturday after a woman accused the rapper of raping her in his tour bus in a town near Seattle.
Nelly’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum, firmly denied the “completely fabricated allegation” on Saturday morning.
“Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation,” Rosenblum said in a statement to Variety. “Our initial investigation clearly establishes this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”
According to the Auburn Police Department, officers arrested the Grammy winner, whose real name is Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., on Saturday at 3:48 a.m. in his tour bus. He was taken into custody and booked less than an hour later.
Nelly had performed at the White River Amphitheater in King County just hours before the incident, which is still being investigated by Auburn Police. The rapper is on tour with Florida Georgia Line and was scheduled to perform on Saturday night in Ridgefield, Wash.
The musician is best known for his hits “Hot in Herre,” ”My Place,” and “Over and Over.”
