The love story of Ashanti and Nelly, the famous music couple, has taken a delightful turn since they rekindled their romance last year. However, Nelly, the St. Louis rapper, has learned a valuable lesson – not to tease his fiancée about her pregnancy.
Recently, Nelly shared a humorous photo on his Instagram Stories. The picture showed him trying to hide his discomfort as a heavily pregnant Ashanti sat on his knee. He captioned the photo with a playful message, pretending to respond to Ashanti’s inquiry about his discomfort.
Ashanti, not one to back down from a joke, shared the post on her Instagram Stories and humorously threatened to retaliate against her soon-to-be baby daddy for his teasing.
Nelly, playing along, responded by reassuring Ashanti that, to him, she was still the same size as when they first started dating. This playful exchange ended with Ashanti promising to pull out her bikini photos from 2005.

Earlier in April, Ashanti confirmed the long-standing rumor that she is expecting a baby with Nelly. She announced this in a creative video posted on Instagram in partnership with Proov Fertility Tests and Essence magazine.
