If you found a bag containing $300,000 would you keep it? This is a question that one woman had to ask herself after stumbling upon a cash-filled duffle bag at a bowling alley, belonging to “Country Grammar” rapper, Nelly.
Many may consider this chance encounter to be a stroke of luck, but the woman saw it as a chance to show her integrity, and potentially be rewarded in a big way. Unfortunately, Nelly had other plans.
Nelly is in hot water with fans after reportedly giving a woman $100 for returning his lost bag containing $300,000 in cash.
If you lost a bag filled with cash and someone was kind enough to return it for you instead of taking it for themselves, surely you’d want to compensate them fairly, and fans are seemingly in agreement that $100 is not that.
