Irv first began to open up about he and Ashanti’s relationship during his interview on N.O.R.E’s ‘Drink Champs.’ He says, “I couldn’t get past you wanting to be with Nelly,” Irv said in the clip. “Listen, at the time, it happens… any man is hurt. The chick that you f*ckin’ are in love with is with this n***a.” He also went on to say that Ashanti’s hit record ‘Happy’ was created right after to two had sex.

Irv later went into even more details about his relationship with the Princess of R&B on his new The Murder Inc Story on BET. He explains, “Ashanti’s coming to the studio every day and our friendship and bond is naturally growing. She used to wear these Juicy sweats and her a*s was looking fat. Her a*s was looking great,” he said with a laugh. “So one day, I was like, ‘I’ll take you home.’ She said, ‘Bet. Cool.’ Walk her to her front door of her crib. She turns to say goodbye and I just kissed her and grabbed her ass. It was like, ‘What took you so long?’”

Fans believe Ashanti may have caught wind of the backlash Irv faced as following the viral clip she shares via Twitter, “Lol I love y’all!”
