It seems like Nelly and Ashanti are expecting a baby, but there’s gossip swirling around suggesting that Ashanti isn’t the only one carrying Nelly’s child. Rumors suggest that Nelly might have gotten another woman pregnant, yet Ashanti seems committed to staying with him regardless. Let’s pause and ponder on this for a moment. People are speculating that Ashanti isn’t pregnant because Nelly recently had a child. But before we jump to conclusions, maybe we should learn more about this other child. Tasha K is known for dishing out the latest gossip, and she’s claiming that Nelly has a child with someone other than Ashanti. Tasha even provided screenshots supposedly backing up her claims, alleging that the baby boy fathered by Nelly resides in Atlanta. The timing of all this raises questions – if the other woman recently gave birth, it suggests she was involved with Nelly since early 2023.
Around that time, suspicions arose regarding his involvement with Ashanti, right? Let’s sort out the timelines first to assess if Ashanti might find herself in a troublesome situation, because she deserves better. Let’s face it, this guy has been leading her on for years. Their relationship began in 2003, amid the peak of their careers. Nearly a decade later, after their breakup, Nelly and Ashanti made their first public appearance together in 2021 at Jaah Ru and Fat Joe’s versus battle, catching everyone off guard. I hadn’t seen him or spoken to him in about six years or more, so it was quite awkward. As for why they split initially, rumors swirled about Ashanti’s reputation in the industry, but she maintains that the real reason was Nelly’s betrayal. She spoke out about it, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and courage in relationships. This issue of trust resurfaced at a concert in 2018 when Ashanti addressed a fan’s outburst towards Nelly. Despite the betrayal, Ashanti seemingly found a way to forgive him, as evidenced by their rekindled connection in 2023. In April, rumors started swirling when they were seen cozying up at a Vegas boxing match. Then in June, Nelly featured Ashanti during his headline performance at his Hot and Here music festival.
They performed their hit collaboration “Body on Me,” during which Ashanti danced provocatively with Nelly. Following the performance, Ashanti appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she was questioned about their relationship status. However, Ashanti remained vague, stating, “Um, what I will say is we’re in a better place, you know? ‘Cause before it was like, ‘Yeah,’ but, you know, we’re cool, you’re cordial, yeah, we had some conversations, you know? So, it’s cool.”
During this time, fans also noticed Ashanti wearing Nelly’s chain around her neck. Nelly, on the other hand, emphasized that although time had healed wounds, they were merely friends. He expressed, “Time does wonders for a lot of different things, and when you get a chance to reflect, time is one of those things that allows you time to reflect on what’s what, and you get a chance to see things in different lights and see your faults and see, you know, different things. So, I think we both did that, and it’s cooler that we’re just friends.”
However, in September, Nelly confirmed that he and Ashanti were officially back together during an interview with Rashida. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, we cool again. Y’all cool again?” asked Rashida. “We cool again. I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that was like, I don’t think planned. I think we both was pretty much doing what we do, but sometimes being separate understand another, you could be like, let me exactly see maybe what they see, you know? ‘Cause, you know, we all can be defensive sometimes in our own relationships, and we know we wrong, but we going to stand on it, you know what I mean, exactly?” Nelly responded.
“In October, Ashanti and Nelly made their relationship Instagram official, marking Ashanti’s birthday with a heartfelt post from Nelly. He shared several photos of them together, expressing admiration for her beauty, both inside and out, and acknowledging her tireless work ethic. Ashanti reciprocated the sentiment in November, going above and beyond by gifting Nelly his dream car for his birthday. The gesture deeply moved Nelly, who revealed the sentimental value behind the gift, describing it as a childhood dream come true. This act of generosity sparked speculation about their future together, with Nelly hinting at plans for a family in his social media interactions.
Nelly’s Black White Ball, returning to St. Louis after seven years, captured attention not just for its charitable endeavors but also for a notable moment between Nelly and Ashanti. During the gala, Nelly’s affectionate gesture of rubbing Ashanti’s belly sparked rumors of her pregnancy. The subsequent confirmation of the news has elicited mixed reactions from fans. While many celebrate their reunion and forthcoming parenthood, others, echoing concerns raised by commentators like Tasha K, express apprehension about Ashanti’s decision to start a family with Nelly, citing his past.”
Earlier this year, footage surfaced from Nelly’s performance at Melbourne’s Juice Fest, capturing moments where he appeared disoriented, with his eyes rolling back and missing cues for his songs. Concerns arose among fans on social media, speculating that Nelly might have been under the influence of something. This incident isn’t isolated, considering Nelly’s history of substance use dating back to 2012, when authorities found illicit substances and a loaded firearm on his tour bus during a border patrol check in West Texas. Although a member of Nelly’s entourage took responsibility and was arrested, Nelly himself was released. In 2015, another incident occurred when Nelly’s tour bus was stopped for lacking legally required stickers; however, police also discovered illegal substances, leading to Nelly being charged with felony possession and related offenses.
Many are skeptical about Ashanti’s relationship with Nelly, considering his troubled history. Rumors of infidelity and fathering a child with another woman have only added fuel to the fire. Allegations from various sources, including a college student named Monique Green, have surfaced, accusing Nelly of inappropriate behavior. Despite Nelly’s attorney dismissing these accusations as false and motivated by greed, doubts linger. Court documents also revealed allegations from two anonymous women in England, claiming Nelly engaged in inappropriate behavior in 2016 and 2017.
Critics argue that Ashanti may be overlooking warning signs in her relationship with Nelly, as evidenced by extravagant gestures and lack of commitment. Tasha K, among others, questions the authenticity of their relationship, pointing out excessive displays of affection like featuring Nelly’s face on merchandise and throwing multiple birthday parties. The absence of an engagement ring despite Ashanti’s perceived value as a partner further raises eyebrows.
The question remains: is Ashanti investing too much in a relationship with Nelly without receiving equal commitment in return? And with rumors of infidelity swirling, what lies ahead for their relationship? Share your thoughts below.
