Nelly's Cousin Killed in St. Louis

Michael Johnson, a relative to Grammy Award winning artist Nelly, was killed on Wednesday (April 28) in St. Louis, Missouri.

According to St. Louis' News 11, Johnson was killed outside a residence on the 8000 Block of Nola near the intersection of N. Hanley and St. Charles Rock Road. Reports say that Johnson, 36, was shot several times while leaving or entering the home. St.Louis authorities have yet to find any leads in the case.

While reports are saying Johnson was Nelly's bodyguard, Pimp Juice referred to him as his "cousin and friend."

He took to his Twitter page to blast Channel 2 News for their false reporting on the incident, writing, "Channel 2 stl don't Ever have 2worry about another interview from me or a stlunatic ever again!!There not invited 2any of my functions!!
