Nelly jealousy sparked Panthers All-Pro’s alleged assault on girlfriend

“Hot in Herre” rapper Nelly has sparked another domestic squabble.

Charlotte Panthers defensive lineman  Greg Hardy was arrested Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., on charges of assault on a female and communicating threats. In the arrest warrant, the the NFL player’s girlfriend Nicole Holder alleges that the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Hardy threw her on a pile of guns and threatened to kill her.

According to a tweet from a Charlotte Observer Panthers beat reporter, the accuser said in court documents Hardy was angry over her previous short-lived relationship with Nelly, the rapper behind early 2000s hits such as “Dilemma” and now a part-owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats.

A protective order request filed by the woman Wednesday was dismissed by a Charlotte District Court Judge on Thursday after she failed to appear for the hearing.

It’s not the first time a famous athlete reportedly has been enraged by Nelly’s romances in recent weeks. Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was upset his former fiancee had taken up with Nelly, according to TMZ.
