Nelly has apologized after a sexually explicit video was shared on his social media account.
On Tuesday, the 47-year-old singer's Instagram Story had a video of him receiving oral sex from a woman.
It wasn't long before the R&B crooner noticed the video and took the post down. The "Hot In Herre" singer issued a statement via his rep to Fox News Digital after removing the clip from his social media.
