Nelly Addresses Claim That He Lost $300,000 and Offered $100 Reward
Nelly found himself at the center of a strange claim from a woman who says she found $300,000 and returned it to him.
The woman says that she discovered the money in a duffel bag at a bowling alley, but that she was only given $100 as a reward for returning the lost bag to its owner, who she alleges is Nelly.

“Cap…SUUUUUUUPPPPPEEEEEERRRR CAAPPP,” Nelly wrote in a comment on the Neighborhood Talk. “I didn’t lose shit idk what bag or who’s bag they talkin bout but it dam show wasn’t mine.”

The original video shows a woman being clowned by her friend after she allegedly returned the $300k.
“We up here at the bowling alley, she found Nelly bag, it had $300,000 in it,” says a man. “And guess what she do? She gave it back.”
The man then asks her what she received in return. “They gave her a hundred fu**ing dollars,” he says.
