Nelly was arrested Saturday on a slew of drug and gun charges after Tennessee troopers stopped his tour bus when they smelled marijuana. Today, the rapper finally broke his silence regarding the situation at hand.

The "Nellyville" star took to Instagram a few moments ago to express his feelings towards the allegations and make sure he doesn't "compromise the respect and admiration" of his friends, family and fans.  He also wrote that he needs to "be more aware" of the people he associates with, as well as make "better choices moving forward." See what else he had to say in his message above.
