Nelly will perform at Auburn Airwaves despite his arrest, according to Sagar Leva, UPC director of major entertainment and senior in finance.
Nelly was arrested Saturday, April 11 in Putnam County, Tennessee, after state troopers found methamphetamine, marijuana, other drug paraphernalia and guns on his bus, according to a statement released by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
The rapper was charged with felony possession of drugs, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
“Auburn University is aware of the situation, and, at this point, the show will go on as scheduled,” Leva said in an email.
Nelly will perform with Nick Jonas and Kesha during the University’s Corner Block Party April 18.
