Fellas, get your girlfriend away from Nelly. First, Floyd Mayweather. Now, the Panthers' Greg Hardy.  Earlier this week, Hardy was arrested after an argument with his girlfriend allegedly escalated to a domestic assault. On Wednesday, the Pro Bowl defensive end was released after posting a $15,000 bond. 

Now, we know what you're wondering. What does the St. Louis rapper have to do with Hardy's situation, right? The Charlotte Observer looked through the court documents and check out the excerpt below. 

According to Holder’s protective order complaint, released Thursday, she stated that Hardy was angry with her because of a short-lived relationship with the rapper Nelly, who is a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. She stated in the court documents that she and Hardy had been trying to work things out and that she and Hardy were in bed together early Tuesday morning when Hardy “just snapped.”
