Guess what, folks? Nelly spilled the beans, and it’s official – he and Ashanti are back in the love game. Yeah, you heard it right from the man himself in an interview on Rasheeda’s Philo TV show, Boss Moves.
“So, are you guys a thing again?” Rasheeda straight-up asked him, and Nelly casually spilled the tea, saying, “Yeah, we’re cool again.” Classic Nelly, keeping it low-key.
And get this – it wasn’t some grand plan. Nope, it surprised both of them. Nelly spilled, “It wasn’t anything that was planned. I think we’re both pretty much doing what we do.” Ah, the beauty of unplanned love!
He’s got a point, though – time and distance can do wonders. Nelly got all philosophical, saying, “Sometimes being separate, you understand one another more.” Preach, Nelly, preach.
Rasheeda, being the queen of questions, asked the real stuff. “Does it feel good this time around?” she quizzed. And Nelly’s response? “Yeah, I mean, because it’s no pressure.” Wise words, my man, wise words.
But the best part? Ashanti didn’t let the interview clips do all the talking. Nope, she made a bold statement at the MTV Awards, rocking a clutch with a photo of her and Nelly together. Now, that’s how you confirm a comeback in style!
Are Nelly and Ashanti Married or Dating?
Hold onto your hats, people! Nelly dropped the bomb on September 12, 2023, spillin’ the beans on Boss Moves with Rasheeda – he and Ashanti are back in the game!
Well, would you look at that! Nelly and Ashanti are giving love a second chance in the same year. After rocking the dating scene from 2003 to 2013, they decided to hit the rewind button on their love story.
And here’s a fun fact for you – neither Nelly nor Ashanti have taken that stroll down the wedding aisle. Love and companionship without the marriage certificate – keeping it casual and cool!
“Yeah. We cool again,” Nelly casually spilled the tea to hosts Rasheeda Frost and Kirk Frost. And get this: it wasn’t some master plan. Nope, it caught them both off guard. Nelly spilled, “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that was, like, I don’t think, planned. I think we both were pretty much doing what we do.”
And here comes the wisdom. Stepping away more than a decade ago did wonders for them. Nelly got all philosophical, sharing, “Sometimes being separate, you understand one another more.” Preach, Nelly, preach.
But let’s talk real talk. Nelly spilled the beans that relationships can get all kinds of messy. “We all can be defensive always or sometimes in our relationships, and we know we are wrong, but we are going to stand on it,” he added. And when you throw a bunch of people in the mix, things get tricky. Truth bomb!
Now, for the cherry on top – Ashanti confirmed the news at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Looking glam on the pink carpet, she had an accessory stealing the show. Her clutch? A photo of her and Nelly from way back when. Talk about making a statement!
“This is where we first exchanged digits. I was like, ‘Oh, this would be cute,'” Ashanti spilled to TODAY at the awards show. “Everything is lining up in the universe. I’m happy.” Well, isn’t that just the sweetest confirmation ever?
When Did Nelly and Ashanti Start Dating?
The Nelly and Ashanti saga kicked off in 2003, and it all started at a Grammy Awards press conference. Ah, the glamour! During a 2011 episode of Behind the Music, Ashanti spilled the beans on their first encounter.
She shared the scoop, saying, “The first time I came across Nelly, he requested for my autograph, but I think he was being sarcastic, and I remember putting it down on the program.”
Now, here’s the kicker – it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Ashanti spilled, “For the record, it took him a long time to get my number.” Classic Nelly, playing it cool and making her work for it!
Has Nelly and Ashanti Broke Up Before?
Ashanti and Nelly called it quits back in 2013, and the tea on why got spilled a bit later. While the duo initially kept mum about the breakup, Ashanti spilled the beans on The Meredith Vieira Show in 2015.
When asked if trust issues were the culprit, she dished out some truth, saying, “I kind of believe sometimes when people have their own insecurities, it lets them act out of character. I have been betrayed.”
But here’s the kicker – she dropped some serious wisdom about growth and responsibility. “Again, you just have to grow. You have to grow up and accept responsibility for the things that you do.
I am not a big fan of people being stupid. I think it is important to know yourself, understand what you want, and get it. I am in a different place right now.” Talk about a mic-drop moment!
