Ashanti Reacts To Possibility Of Getting Back Together With Nelly

Could Ashanti and Nelly be getting back together? Earlier this month, the former celebrity couple were sparking rumors of a potential reunion.

It all started when the pair appeared on stage together while at Power 98.3 and Power 96.1‘s “Under The Mistletoe” concert.

An intimate performance of their collaborative 2008 hit, “Body On Me” set social media ablaze. Some fans began expressing their hope for the duo to rekindle their love.

During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, she confirmed that she’s been seeing all the comments. Of course, the late night TV host went on to ask the “Foolish” singer about the possibility after a pair of fans brought the topic up while appearing virtually.

“I saw a lot of comments. I mean, my reaction was, ‘wow!’ It was a lot of comments and people wanting that. What I will say is we’re in a better place. We’re cool now. We had some conversations, so it’s cool” she insists.

After Cohen blatantly asks if the reunion will happen, Ashanti chokes on her words. However, it seems as though it at least won’t be happening now. The power couple spent over a decade together before eventually calling it quits in 2014.

In other recent news, Nelly has been receiving backlash for some old videos resurfacing online.

In a number of clips, the Country Grammar artist is seen singing inappropriately to evidently underage girls. Furthermore, he’s also seen grabbing the hair of two underage fans in two separate videos.

In one of the videos, the 48-year-old even attempts to hold the young girl’s hand. Obviously, this is met with uncertainty and visual discomfort. It’s still unclear as to why these videos just recently began to circulate on social media.

Do you think the former couple will ever put their differences aside and get back together? Comment your thoughts down below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest pop culture updates.

As previously announced back in July, Nicki Minaj will be taking the place of regular host Andy Cohen for one of the biggest housewives reunions this year. The Real Housewives Of Potomac need a stabilizing force like the Sagittarius energy Minaj brings to the table (yes, obviously I’m bringing up astrology and Housewives in the same post, sue me) and that’s exactly what they’re going to get. Though we don’t yet know what all is going to go down in what are often very dramatic rehashes of the season, it’s now clear that Minaj will be part of it.

In a dramatic teaser clip, all the ladies react to Minaj walking into the set:

The longer trailer shows that Andy will definitely be involved as a host and moderator for some of the reunion, which stretches to a whopping four parts (!) but ends with the clip of Nicki walking in, that’s excerpted above. Check out the full trailer here:

This will be a more positive moment for Minaj, who has been embroiled in a not-so-great moment for her collaboration with Jesy Nelson, “Boyz.” The former Little Mix member has been accused of “blackfishing” in the clip, and though Nicki has defended her, most of the internet agrees that Nelson’s portrayal was offensive.

We’ll see if Nicki can steer the topic away from herself and her own drama while she moderates this reunion.

Nicki Minaj may be working on a new album and a documentary about her career, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have time for some good, old-fashioned trash reality TV. By which I mean Andy Cohen has asked her to host the upcoming Real Housewives Of Potomac reunion special — according to a shared screenshot of her text conversation with the show’s publicist — an invitation she enthusiastically accepted.

She made the announcement in her usual fashion, by posting to her Instagram Story, then sharing a screenshot with her Twitter followers. “Who tf is ready?” she tweeted. On Instagram, she wrote, “Don’t move! Everyone binge-watch all the episodes cuz we finna get into some thangz hunty.” She also promised that “My questions will be well thought out, too. Mixed with funny & epic, of course.”

But, as is often the case, she had to include a quick disclaimer: “And Barbz, plz don’t send me a million comments about the album & doc chile just lemme have my moment.” She did toss her ravenous fans a bone, though, adding, “We almost there. Promise. Not lying this time. Love you.”

Naturally, the Barbz — who basically live for drama — were ecstatic to learn of this development. Get into their responses below, and follow along with the show’s cast Sundays on Bravo.
