Not everyone is as happy as Ashanti about her marriage to Nelly. The fact that she agreed to be his wife after everything he’s alleged to have put her through has some critics feeling sorry for her. When they first broke up back in 2013, Nelly was soon in another relationship that lasted years, before eventually getting back with Ashanti.
The singer herself on the other hand, was rumored to have had a few brief romances, but was largely single during those years. This has some online commenters thinking she was waiting for Nelly to take her back the entire time. Ashanti has been described as sad and desperate by those who believe Nelly is taking advantage of her love for him.
Tasha K Speaks Out
One of those people is well known YouTuber Tasha K. Basically, Tasha K claimed that from what the public could see, Ashanti was giving a lot to her and Nelly’s relationship and wasn’t getting much back. The vlogger said in one video, “Ashanti, y’all doing too much!”
She continued by saying, “I just don’t understand why we need to see his face on a purse.” Tasha K also questioned why Ashanti felt the need to throw so many different parties for Nelly and buy him so many extravagant presents. She asked why Ashanti would buy Nelly a car, and she also wanted to know why Nelly never got her a ring.
Ashanti’s Extravagant Gifts For Nelly
This was a reference to the news that had emerged about Ashanti’s incredible present to Nelly for his birthday last October. She presented him with a special customized convertible Chevrolet Impala.However, although Nelly was obviously happy with the Impala, Tasha K just couldn’t get her head around what was really going on.
She voiced her shock that a high-value woman like Ashanti felt the need to shower Nelly with amazing gifts and didn’t expect to get the same back. Specifically, Tasha K wondered why Nelly had shown no sign of intending to marry Ashanti any time soon. Tasha K even questioned why Ashanti felt like she had to keep herself in good shape, mentioning that she herself had a “big belly” and still managed to get married twice.
She seemed to believe that Ashanti had made a mistake in starting a relationship again with the rapper. After it became clear that the relationship was serious, Tasha K repeatedly urged Ashanti and Nelly to “make it official” by getting married.
Nelly Faces Backlash
This wasn’t the last time Nelly would fight back against online criticism about his relationship. In June, Complex reported that he clapped back during an Instagram Live session after someone posted a shady comment claiming he was drunk. The commenter went on to express pity for his new wife.
They wrote, “Poor Ashanti. He ghetto, coming on Live doing this. Shame on you.” It was pretty clear that the commenter, like so many others, thought Ashanti was too good for Nelly. The rapper addressed the comment while laughing, before talking about how important Ashanti was to him.
He said that Ashanti encouraged his happiness and he encouraged hers, which was why they are together. He ended his retort by saying, “So you ain’t gotta ‘poor her,’ it might be ‘poor you.’” Despite Nelly’s defense of their relationship, the negative feedback hasn’t stopped flooding in.
Nelly’s Secret Child
Even after they secretly tied the knot, more accusations against Nelly which undermined their relationship kept appearing. A day after the news of the couple’s marriage dropped, Tasha K claimed that Nelly actually had a secret son with another woman. What’s more, the YouTuber alleged that Nelly actually cheated on his then-fiance Shantel Jackson with the mother of his secret child.
Tasha K claimed that Nelly had an affair around 2019 or 2020 with a life coach named Shanna Bianca. In a post on her social media, Tasha K claimed that Nelly’s baby with Shanna was named Chase. The baby was allegedly conceived around the time Nelly was splitting with Shantel.
With the incredible news of Ashanti and Nelly’s marriage still fresh in their minds, supporters will be concerned that somewhere down the line, Nelly might cheat on Ashanti.
With the singer having appeared to have waited so long to get Nelly back, the conversation among fans is now that Ashanti just looks sad for wasting so many years on someone who might not even care about her.
