In a recent interview, rapper Nelly revealed that he expedited his marriage to singer Ashanti after discovering she was pregnant, stating he didn’t want her to be merely a “baby mama.” The couple, who rekindled their relationship in 2023 after a decade-long separation, tied the knot in a private ceremony in December of the same year. They welcomed their son, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, in July 2024.
Ashanti has expressed the profound joy and fulfillment she feels in her new role as a mother, describing the experience as “overwhelming” but deeply rewarding. The couple continues to navigate the challenges of parenthood while maintaining their professional commitments.
