*Nelly’s team claims his Instagram account was hacked and an NSFW video was posted of him receiving oral servicing from an unidentified woman.

The rapper issued a statement to TMZ in which he apologizes to the woman involved in the video and her family for the “unwanted publicity.

I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family, this is unwanted publicity for her/them,” the statement reads. “This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.” Several savvy Twitter users were quick to save the video before it was swiftly scrubbed from social media. The video is still up on the platform if you so desire to see what Nelly is working with.
