A woman claims she found $300K in a duffel bag that Nelly lost—and that she was only given $100 when she returned it.

Nelly, meanwhile, is denying the incident, saying he didn’t lose any money at all. He commented underneath an Instagram post from the Neighborhood Talk, which shows a video of the woman being clowned by her friends for returning the money. 

“Cap…SUUUUUUUPPPPPEEEEEERRRR CAAPPP,” Nelly wrote. “I didn’t lose shit idk what bag or who’s bag they talkin bout but it dam show wasn’t mine.”

In the clip, the woman can be seen with several friends. “We up here at the bowling alley, she found Nelly bag, it had $300,000 in it,” a man narrates, pointing the camera at the laughing woman. “And guess what she do? She gave it back.”

The person filming asks what she got for returning the $300K. “What they give you? Tell ’em what they give you.” He points the camera at himself, saying, “They gave her $100 fucking dollars. … They gave her $100 for giving him back $300,000.”

It’s unclear where the money was found. HotNewHipHop reports the duffel was left at Midtown Bowl, and a quick search shows there’s a Midtown Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia.
