In 2023, Nelly and Ashanti rekindled an old relationship from around a decade prior, and the two recently confirmed they have a baby on the way. Most of the public is congratulatory, but there are a collection of individuals, including YouTuber and internet personality Tasha K who have slammed the couple.
Nelly and Ashanti’s Successful Music Career
For those unfamiliar, Nelly is a rapper, singer, and actor who has been active since 1993. He’s won several Grammy awards, Billboard Music awards, and sold tens of millions of records. Nelly is among the most popular hip hop artists of all time, with many songs and records peaking at the top of the charts.
Ashanti is a singer and actress who won dozens of awards throughout her 20+ year career, including 8 Billboard Music awards, a Grammy, and many others. She’s sold millions of records and dominated the charts throughout the early 2000s with numerous top 5 hits.
The pair initially met at the 2003 Grammy Awards, and began a romantic relationship soon after. They would go on to spend years together, before ultimately breaking up in 2023. But then about a decade later, the pair reunited and began dating again. Even Ashanti herself was surprised by this, as she said she never expected the romance to be rekindled.
Tasha K And Fans Bash Nelly And Ashanti’s Relationship
While many fans are happy and congratulatory about this reunion of past lovers, not everyone is joyous. For example, Tasha K had some harsh words for Ashanti recently about her relationship.
She said that Ashanti was doing too much for her rapper boyfriend, without getting much in return. This includes getting him a car, having multiple birthday parties for him, and carrying a purse with his face on it. Tasha K also believed that Nelly was wasting Ashanti’s time and that he didn’t really want her.
All in all, she’s said some pretty harsh things about the couple, and some others have made similar comments bashing the relationship. There have also been rumors that Nelly may have cheated and even has a secret child with another woman, but these haven’t been substantiated.
However, one of the major talking points that Tasha K and others critical of the relationship have focused on is that despite their long history, Ashanti still didn’t have a ring. But much to the surprise of many, it was recently revealed that Nelly and Ashanti actually had a quiet marriage back in December 2023.
Ashanti and Nelly Proved Haters Wrong
This was before they even announced their engagement or that they were pregnant in the first place, which both took place in April 2024. As a result, many people will have to take back their words as it seems the pair are truly committed to one another this time and have been for months.
While there are certainly those who may not be fond of the relationship, with a marriage behind them and a new child ahead of them, Nelly and Ashanti seem to be very happy and excited about the future together.
