The musician Nelly has verified that Nelly and Ashanti have actually reconciled.
In a recent interview on the “Boss Moves” TV show hosted by Rasheeda from “Love and Hip Hop,” the Grammy-winning emcee finally addressed the ongoing conjecture around their revived romantic relationship.
Rasheeda confronted Nelly and straightforwardly asked if they were back together or not. She seemingly surprised him and provoked a genuine and enthusiastic response from the rapper, including a sincere reaction.
“Yes, we have reconciled,” he stated in a video that was shared again by the Shade Room. “I believe it caught both of us off guard,” The occurrence was not premeditated. I believe that both of us are essentially engaged in our own activities.
Nelly, aged 48, stated that the passage of time and physical separation seemed to contribute to his and the “What’s Luv?” singer’s improvement in their relationship.
“Occasionally, being apart allows for a deeper understanding of one another,” he stated. “You have the ability to request a visual representation of the exact perspective they have.” Indeed, it is a common occurrence for individuals to exhibit protective behaviour inside their personal relationships. Although we are aware of our wrongdoing, we are determined to persist in our stance. However, we all fall prey to that.
When Rasheeda inquired about the current state of his relationship with Ashanti, he affirmed.
“Yes,” he stated. “I mean, as there is no pressure involved.” Prior to this, I perceived that both of us were pursuing our respective careers. However, when other individuals become involved in the process, it can become challenging.
Tuesday, The Times was unable to reach a representative of Ashanti for comment regarding the interview.
Nevertheless, some hours later, Ashanti publicly revealed the romantic relationship on her Instagram stories while preparing for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. She proudly displayed a purse adorned with a photograph of herself and the hip-hop singer.
“In this photograph, we exchanged contact information at the VMAs in 2003, which was two decades ago, to be precise,” she wrote, while posting a close-up image of their faces on the purse. Upon her arrival at the awards presentation in New Jersey, the “Always on Time” singer willingly posed with the luggage on the pink carpet.
The musical collaborators engaged in an intermittent romantic relationship for approximately 11 years until terminating their partnership in 2013 – causing great emotional distress to numerous fans who supported them throughout that period.

Nelly and Ashanti, both aged 42, have been seen together on multiple occasions throughout the past year, although they have not openly discussed the nature of their relationship. In December, the two artists came together on stage to sing their popular 2008 song “Body On Me,” and their strong connection was clearly evident.
Speculation about their romantic involvement gained more credibility in February when they were observed wearing identical necklaces, as reported by XXL. In April, he showcased Ashanti for a passionate collaborative performance at the Tao Beach Club in Las Vegas. Subsequently, they shared a seat at the boxing match between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, and departed the stadium while interlocking hands.
Since then, they’ve gotten close onstage when performing ‘Nice and Slow’ together during Usher’s Las Vegas residency, and they even made a red carpet appearance together in Atlanta in June to celebrate Quality Control Music CEO Pierre ‘P’ Thomas’s birthday.
In May, ET reported that the artists were had a pleasant time together and both were content.
Last summer, there was renewed media attention on Ashanti’s love life after Irv Gotti, co-founder of Murder Inc. Records, criticised her previous relationship with Nelly during an appearance on the “Drink Champs” podcast.
Ashanti was obligated to refute the assertions made by Gotti regarding their purported relationship and address the true motive behind her departure from the hip-hop label, prompted by the widespread dissemination of the interview.
“He consistently withholds the complete narrative, neglecting to provide any explanation,” expressed the “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)” vocalist on an episode of the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast in October.
“Indeed, Nelly and I were in a romantic relationship.” Irv was irritable. Irv denied me access to the studio for recording. Irv was advising everyone against collaborating with me. What is the reason for my desire to remain in that particular circumstance? How can I endure or persist in that particular circumstance?
