Ashanti and Nelly are about to become parents! After raising speculation about a potential pregnancy over the December 2 weekend, a source confirmed to Us Weekly the two musicians are expecting. They shared, “Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together.” It seemed like congratulations were in order for the happy couple, but that’s not what happened. A heated debate on social media sparked, with some fans thrilled for the couple and others not so much, and the conversation seemed to surround a certain TikTok video.
Podcast host Amani Talks posted a TikTok criticizing Nelly and Ashanti. In the video, she called Nelly out for breaking it off with his ex, Shantel Jackson, whom he had dated from 2014 to 2021, per People. Talks said, “He [Nelly] was with that other woman for nearly a decade, and she went on that show, and she said I don’t want to just be a baby mama, I want to be a wife.” The podcaster was referring to the now-deleted social media post where Jackson said she wanted to be married, per People. Talks continued to criticize Nelly and Ashanti, and even went as far as to call the “Foolish” singer a “rebound.”
The podcast host said, “Probably the only reason he’s with Ashanti is because he’s already middle-aged… and he wants somebody to spend the rest of his life with, and he wants a kid, and Shantel was not going to give him a kid without marriage.”
