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.
Ashanti confirms she’s expecting with Nelly
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.
In the video, Ashanti’s team is seen preparing for her to take the stage. When asked how much time she needs, Ashanti enters the frame and humorously replies that she will need about nine months.
Shortly after the video went live, Essence published an interview with Ashanti, in which she revealed that she and Nelly are engaged. She expressed her joy and anticipation for the new year of her life, which will be filled with love, hope, and the prospect of motherhood.
This heartwarming news has been warmly received by their loyal fans, who have supported Ashanti’s career and are now thrilled to share in her journey towards motherhood.
