Ashanti Celebrates Birthday with Nelly and Ja Rule at LIV

Nelly and Ashanti are expecting their first child together. According to US Weekly, the pregnancy confirmation comes after teasing a baby during an appearance in St. Louis. “Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together,” an insider revealed.

The baby will be the first for Ashanti and the third for Nelly. The two were spotted laughing and holding Ashanti’s belly at Nelly’s Black and White Ball.

The couple, who got back together earlier this fall after breaking up about eight years ago, were joined by Monica, Bow Wow, and other celebrities.

One of the performances of the evening included Ashanti and Nelly performing Ashanti and Ja Rule’s 2022 “Mesmerize,” with Nelly lip-synching Ja Rule’s adlibs on the track.

The event, which took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in St. Louis, returned after a seven-year hiatus. The event’s proceeds went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and scholarships for Harris Stowe State University. At the ball, they granted two wishes to local families.

“Make-A-Wish is the best,” Nelly told local news outlet KSDK. “I mean listen we all have our personal foundations but when you think about Make A Wish in theory, what could be better and they’ve done such phenomenal work for who knows how many years.”

Last month, Ashanti spoiled Nelly, copping him a new custom Impala for his 49th birthday.

TMZ spoke with celebrity car dealer Ronnie Garber who stated DJ Envy connected him with Ashanti to gift the 1962 Impala convertible. The blue ride has a Corvette motor and a new sound system with Nelly’s logo.

Before the car was presented to the STL legend, fireworks went off. Nelly was emotional when he got the car, stating it was his dream ride.

You can see all the moments below.

In October, Nelly had Ashanti speechless as he presented her birthday gifts, showing an iced-out watch and flooding her neck. While opening the gifts, Ashanti is held speechless, in awe. She puts on all the pieces and celebrates with her man, continuously hugging him and showing appreciation.

Ashanti also performed with Usher in Vegas.

Keshia Chante Explains The Origins Of Bow Wow Beef

by

Keshia Chante has a pretty impressive and versatile collection of achievements in her career. Aside from being a singer she is also an actress and served as the host of 106 & Park alongside Bow Wow. Many probably remember that she was identified as the girl “Kiki” in Drake’s smash hit song “In My Feelings” which spawned from the pair’s relationship nearly a decade earlier. But it’s her co-host Bow Wow who she has a longer running and even more complicated connection to.

Chante sat down in a recent interview to discuss her origins with the rapper. In the story, she recalls Bow Wow personally requesting that she be the lead video girl in the music video for his song “Shawty Like Mine.” But when she flies out to meet him, he tries to get her to stop by his hotel, and Chante declines. Shortly after she finds out that she’s been replaced as lead girl in the video by Angela Simmons. It worked out for her in the end though because Chris Brown took notice. Chante ultimately got the chance to star in his video instead. That created what she described as a “rivalry” between the various parties involved which reportedly ran for years. Check out the full interview clip below.

Bow Wow Forgives Jermaine Dupri

by

Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri have an interesting relationship. Since the age of six Bow Wow has been in the mix of the music industry. However, he’s always had some mentors in his camp. One of which being Jermaine Dupri, who’s had his fair share of fallouts with the rap icon. Recently, the producing legend, stated in an interview that he should’ve received more credit for discovering Bow Wow. Later the two fell out even more after Shad Moss revealed that he regretted signing with JD.

The two were beefing so heavy that they couldn’t even be in the same room alone together. Bow Wow shared on Math Hoffa’s, My Expert Opinion that Nelly had to be in the room and mediate the meeting between the two. “Last month, I pulled up to the studio, and Nelly had to be there to be the mediator. I said, ‘I’ll come inside when you there’,” Bow Wow told the podcast. He continued, “‘But you gotta be there. You gotta be right in the middle of this s**t.‘” Shad Moss also express how glad he was that the Country Grammar rapper was there to ease the tension between him and Dupri. Despite their recent spat, the pair was able to remember all the good that both have done for each other over the years.

Bow Wow Takes The High Road

Moreover, Bow Wow recently took to Instagram recapping his time at Usher’s Lover’s and Friends Festival. In the video he’s seen playfully pushing JD and laughing with the legendary producer. However, in the caption Shad writes, “I’ll be the bigger person…I’M FOLLOWING YOU AGAIN @jermainedupri hey it’s a step.” Not only that the rapper also mentioned that it had been a year since the two had spoken to each other.

Although, Bow Wow has buried the hatchet and squashed the beef, fans on social media feel otherwise. Investigative fans pointed out the body language between the two and made note of Jermaine Dupri’s standoffish demeanor. Many commented that they didn’t even need to know their family business (fair enough). Others however, felt that Bow Wow cared more about patching things up than JD. Especially after fans pointed out the side eye from Dupri after Shad Moss playfully pushed him. Do you think the beef is really over? Let us know in the comments below!
