Usher & Ashanti Trade “Happy Birthday” Wishes At Vegas Concert: Watch

by

One celebrity birthday is already a lot, but two of them under the same roof means that fans have to really test their vocal chops when they sing their congratulations. Moreover, this just happened at Usher’s recent Las Vegas show on Saturday (October 14), which called for a special occasion with a fellow R&B superstar of his. The now-45-year-old was born on October 14, whereas Ashanti– who was in attendance that night- turned 43 the previous Friday (October 13). As such, they just had to take advantage of the occasion and wish each other well on their special 24 hours. While onstage, both singers sang “Happy Birthday” to each other, and the crowd made sure to give it their all for the two.

Of course, it’s not like the party stopped there, as the DJ immediately started laying some beats down for everyone to turn up. Overall, it seems like it was all just a massive party, and Usher and Ashanti certainly deserve such extravagant birthday celebrations. They aren’t just musical contemporaries, but also kindred spirits in terms of what they represent for R&B and what how they impacted the culture as a whole. As such, it’s great to see them celebrate and give each other their flowers for all the success and camaraderie they share.

However, don’t get it twisted; even though they came up during a similar time and seem close, they never became romantically involved. Instead, Ashanti dated Nelly, and the two recently rekindled their romance after a lot of speculation. They seem happier than ever these days, and a birthday tribute from the rapper to the 43-year-old showcased a lot of their treasured memories together. “”One time for the birthday girl…” he expressed in the Instagram post’s caption. “@ashanti Enjoy your day Ma you look awesome!!!! Happy Birthday Love ya!!!!”

Happy belated birthday to Ashanti, who turned 43 years old on Friday (October 13). There are many reasons to honor and praise the R&B superstar, but one massive fan in particular knows exactly how. Nelly and her are back together, and they have a lot of special moments, memories, and milestones to celebrate across their long history. Moreover, the rapper recently posted a tribute compilation on Instagram of them performing together, posing for pictures, signing along, and a whole lot more. Throughout the clips, you can tell that they really enjoy being around each other.

“One time for the birthday girl…” Nelly’s caption on the post began. “@ashanti Enjoy your day Ma you look awesome!!!! Happy Birthday Love ya!!!!” Ashanti and him go way, way back, and for those unaware, this is a rekindled romance rather than a new one altogether. It was preceded by a lot of teases, amicable interactions, and hints that the two were getting closer and closer. Clearly, it all paid off towards the end, and now they have a lot to reflect on and cherish. After all, it’s like their bond got a full-on reset button.

Nelly’s Birthday Post For Ashanti: Watch

“Yeah, we cool again,” Nelly confirmed in a recent interview, smiling and getting red in the face as he talked about Ashanti. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that was like, I don’t think, planned. We both was pretty much doing what we do. Sometimes being separate allows you to understand one another more. You can be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly, maybe, what they see.’ We all can be defensive, sometimes, in our own relationships. And we know we wrong but we going to stand on it. But we all a victim to that. Before, I felt like both of us are doing what we’re doing career-wise. When you got so many people in the middle of it, it could be tough.”

Meanwhile this is what his boo had to say about this. “We’re in a great space, everything is positive, we’re having a lot of fun,” she told PEOPLE on the MTV VMAs red carpet back in September. In fact, she also suggested they might collab on new music soon, which is another exciting possibility. For more news and the latest updates on Nelly and Ashanti, stay logged into HNHH.

Ashanti’s Natural Body Impresses Nearly As Much As Her Vocals

by

Ashanti is a name we’ve been reporting on consistently throughout 2023. Unlike her contemporaries, she’s stayed almost entirely stayed out of drama. Instead, the performer has been pouring her energy into aging gracefully, travelling around the world, and rekindling her romance with Nelly. The pair first sparked a relationship decades ago and ultimately found their way back into each other’s lives after taking many years apart to grow and mature as individuals. In the summer, the “Hot In Herre” hitmaker confirmed that he and Ashanti were both surprised to get back together. Still, the near-constant smiles on their faces tell us they couldn’t be happier to be reunited.

Since reconnecting, we’ve seen Nelly and his other half grace the stage together on several occasions. Earlier this week, however, Ashanti was giving a live performance of her own when someone backstage captured a video of her bodacious behind. Also unlike many of her contemporaries, the New York native seems to have stayed true to her natural figure over the years, rather than relying on BBLs or tummy tucks to keep her snatched.

Nelly Confirms Ashanti Relationship, Admits Both Singers Were Surprised

by

Nelly and Ashanti haven’t exactly been trying to keep the fact that they’re spending time together again a secret, but still, neither artist officially confirmed their rekindled relationship status until this month. In one of his most recent interviews, the “Just A Dream” artist happily let the world know that he and his ex are giving love another chance. However, he did admit that it was a surprise for both him and Ashanti to find themselves coming back into each other’s lives so naturally.

“Yeah, we cool again,” Nelly told the hosts he was speaking to while grinning from ear to ear. As if his smile didn’t give away the strong feelings he has for the New Yorker, he was also notably red in the face from blushing so much while talking about his partner. “I think it surprised both of us though,” the 48-year-old reflected. “It wasn’t anything that was like, I don’t think, planned. We both was pretty much doing what we do.”

Nelly Dishes on Having Ashanti Back in His Life

Nelly continued, “Sometimes being separate allows you to understand one another more. You can be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly, maybe, what they see.’ We all can be defensive, sometimes, in our own relationships.” The “Hot In Herre” hitmaker didn’t specifically explain what past incidents he’s learned from, though it certainly sounds like he’s dedicated to seeing the truth from a higher perspective from here on out, rather than staying stuck rooted in always being right.

We’re definitely always happy to see former lovers taking steps towards reconciliation, but the content Ashanti’s fans really love when the singer posts is from her various vacations. The songbird has uploaded thirst traps from some of the globe’s most beautiful destinations in 2023 so far, recently modelling a green bikini for us. See those photos at the link below, and let us know what other former celebrity couples you hope to see reconcile in the comments.

Ashanti, despite being in her early 40s, looks better than ever. The former Murder, Inc. singer was recently spotted enjoying herself poolside. Donning a slinky green bikini, Ashanti leaves little to the imagination. The “Happy” songstress has been vacation hopping for quite some time. It’s not exactly clear where she was, but it appears to be exquisite.

Judging by the comment section of 2cool2blog‘s clip, fans seem to be enjoying it — in addition to making some humorous remarks about her frequent holiday trips. “She been on vacation for 10 years now [laughing emoji],” one person wrote. Whereas another person said,” She had to have traveled half the world by now.”

The singer proves that age truly is just a number. Ashanti’s curvaceous figure has caused quite the commotion in the last few years. During the summer, the singer posted a stunning photo of herself at Carnival. She exuded goddess-like energy in jewel-encrusted attire and feathers. In other related news, Irv Gotti recently joined the Drink Champs crew and discussed the status of his relationship with the singer. In a previous episode, the former label head made some disparaging remarks about her. However, today, Irv has seemingly walked back some of his comments.

“She’s done. She’s fucking done with me. No one’s sitting around thinking… ‘Oh, but she still looks great. You ain’t want her when you seen that last picture?’ I mean this with all respect to women… I get some of the most baddest b**ches you will ever [see] in your life, and they not Ashanti.” Irv also discussed being called out by Fat Joe for his comments on Ashanti. “Fat Joe was my brother. I do not feel Fat Joe is my brother anymore. His defense and Ja’s defense is they do shows with Ashanti, but Rule will never come out and say, ‘Gotti’s a sucker.’ Fat Joe said, ‘Oh, Gotti’s a sucker.’ I gotta pull back and regress from that. If I was to go respond or anything with that, it could get crazy.”
