Drug charges hanging over Nelly will be dropped if he stays out of trouble

Drug possession charges that have been hovering over rapper Nelly for most of 2015 will be dropped if he stays out of trouble for a year.

The Hot in Herre hitmaker was in court in Tennessee on Friday (11Dec15) trying to clear his name following a possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia rap in April (15).

According to TMZ.com, Nelly's lawyer argued his client's clean record qualified him for a pretrial diversion, and the judge overseeing the case agreed, telling the rap star the charges will be wiped from his record if he lives clean for 12 months.
