Nelly joins Machine Gun Kelly’s Cleveland concert despite recent arrest

Nelly surprised MGK fans with a live performance amidst his ongoing legal challenges.

Nelly made a surprise appearance at Machine Gun Kelly's concert in Cleveland over the weekend, and the crowd couldn't have been more thrilled. 

The rapper took the stage as part of the annual MGK Day celebration, performing hits like "Grillz" and "Air Force Ones," much to the excitement of the audience—and MGK himself. Machine Gun Kelly was particularly enthusiastic, capturing the moment on his phone while energetically cheering Nelly on.

After the show, MGK expressed his excitement on X, posting, "i should’ve worn my all whites and threw in the colored fat laces."

This high-energy performance comes on the heels of a legal incident involving Nelly last week at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, Missouri. The rapper won $50,000 at a slot machine, but things took a turn when casino security discovered an outstanding arrest warrant after running a background check. 

The warrant stemmed from a citation for driving without insurance that Nelly had failed to address.

As TMZ reported, Nelly was arrested, and during the pat-down, authorities found four ecstasy pills on him. However, Nelly's attorney has questioned the legality of the search, stating that the rapper has not been charged with drug possession and is pushing for an investigation into the incident. The casino eventually released Nelly's winnings despite the incident.

Nelly's weekend performance with MGK marks a shift from last week's legal troubles, showing his resilience and ability to keep the good vibes rolling.
