R&B sensation Ashanti recently shared some exciting news with her fans – she and her fiancé, rapper Nelly, are expecting a baby. However, Nelly’s reaction to the news was not what many might have anticipated.

Ashanti took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video of her breaking the news to Nelly over FaceTime. The video, shot six hours before a concert in Brooklyn, also features behind-the-scenes footage from Ashanti’s original pregnancy reveal video.

Nelly’s reaction to Ashanti’s pregnancy

In the video, Ashanti tells Nelly that they are expecting a baby. Instead of an immediate celebration, Nelly takes a moment to process the news before smiling and admitting that he already knew.

The news of Ashanti’s pregnancy comes shortly after an interview with Essence, where she confirmed her engagement to Nelly. She expressed her joy and anticipation for the new chapter in her life, which includes motherhood and sharing these moments with her family, fiancé, and loyal fans.

Rumors of Ashanti’s pregnancy had been circulating for months, with many speculating that her choice of loose clothing was an attempt to hide a baby bump. Even Ashanti’s mother, Tina Douglas, added fuel to the fire during a public appearance in March.

Adding a humorous twist, Fat Joe, Ashanti’s collaborator on What’s Luv? jokingly claimed credit for the couple’s baby. He suggested that their rekindled romance during the Verzuz battle, where he brought out Nelly during his face-off against Ja Rule, led to this happy news.
