Nelly denied a Missouri security guard's claim that the rapper shoved him, Us Weekly can exclusively report. The entertainer's rep tells Us, "Nelly was stunned to receive a summons from a two-month-old incident where an overzealous guard blocked his path and invaded his space." "Nelly guided him aside with minimal contact and no harm. Management later apologized and welcomed Nelly back [to the casino]," the rep added. On September 4, prosecutors filed a misdemeanor assault charge against Nelly (real name: Cornell Haynes Jr).
