Prosecutors in Washington state have officially dropped a rape case against Nelly, real name Cornell Hayes, saying that the rapper's accuser refuses to cooperate.
"While we have reviewed the existing investigative material, without the assistance of the complainant, this office is unable to proceed or fully assess the merits of the case," the King County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement Thursday.
