After Nelly’s sex tape was leaked on social media, the singer has issued a statement apologizing for the “private” moment being shared publicly.
The 47-year-old rapper insisted that the sex tape leak was “never” supposed to happen. “I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family, this is unwanted publicity for her/them,” the Texas native told Us Weekly on February 9, 2022. “This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.” According to Nelly’s team, the video may have been leaked as part of a security breach, and they are still “investigating” over concerns that “more of Nelly’s private content may also end up online … including financial information, personal documents and passwords.” In the explicit clip, which was nearly one minute long and posted to Nelly’s 3.3 million followers, an unidentified woman can be seen performing oral sex on Nelly.
While the clip was quickly deleted following its release online, unauthorized copies continued to crop up across the web as social media users continued to discuss and pass around the NSFW video.
