Ashanti shows off her growing baby bump following her viral pregnancy reveal.
We previously reported that Ashanti announced she and Nelly are expecting their first child together and they also got engaged. The singer shared a video via Instagram and captioned it, “Baby baby baby baby….”
In the video Ashanti’s team is asking her how much longer she needs before she’s “ready” and in response she says “I need about 9 months.” The video then reads “to be continued..”
During a recent interview, Ashanti also revealed that Nelly popped the big question. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she says. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
Following the announcement, during an appearance she showed off her growing baby bump. “She did everything on her own time, with the man she has so much love and history with. So happy for them” noted one person.
According to Fat Joe, we can thank him for the couple’s reconciliation.
During a previous Instagram Live session, the “All The Way Up” rapper said that his 2021 Verzuz battle against Ja Rule is what led to the couple’s reunion. “They look so happily ever after,” he said.
“I immediately tell them I need 10 percent of this kid because if it wasn’t for Verzuz, that I brought Nelly out [during] me against Ja Rule, that’s when they saw each other and energy connected again. That’s when he said I gotta have her. He was over there contemplating; he really wanted to go over there,” Fat Joe a. “He goes over there, and that starts the conversation. You know somebody gotta crack the ice — I don’t know why they fell out.”
