Ashanti Flexes The Ring Nelly Gave Her, Reveals How He Proposed

Ashanti recently detailed how Nelly proposed to her, revealing that she was “completely” shocked by the way he chose to do so. She discussed their engagement during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday. The two artists reconciled in 2021, nearly a decade after they initially parted ways.

“Never in a million years did I think we would be here,” she said during the interview. “Ten years ago — maybe yes — but after our breakup, you know, I didn’t even think we’d ever have a conversation again. I guess when you go through a breakup, for me personally, I kind of just shut that person out… It’s kinda like, OK, that chapter is closed and you just move on, you know, and there’s nothing there.”

Lil Scrappy Reveals Why He’d Marry Erica Dixon

Lil Scrappy and Erica Dixon have been at the center of relentless reunion rumors for months now. The co-parents have been spotted showing love to each other online, enjoying vacations together, and more. While they both insist they’re nothing more than friends at this point, fans have remained suspicious, particularly considering how Scrappy talks about Dixon on social media.

During a recent Instagram Live, for example, a fan asked him whether or not he’d ever consider marrying her and “doing right by her” this time around. According to him, he would. He explained that they’re already friends and have a child together, so either way, they’re family for life. Moreover, he says that since they’ve already been together, they know the ways things have gone wrong in the past.

Killer Mike Reveals Why He & His Wife Were Secretly Married For Years

Killer Mike recently recalled admitting to his wife Shana’s family that the two were secretly married for years. While appearing on the Off Menu podcast with hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Mike explained how the marriage came to be and why they chose to keep it private.

“Within the first two weeks (of dating) I asked her to marry me and she was like, ‘Get the f*ck out of here. You’re a rapper.’ So, after about four or five years, we got really high in Vegas, and really drunk, and I pled my love to her, and we got married in a f*cking drive-through marriage thing with our cab driver as our witness, and then we didn’t tell anybody we were married for nine years,” Mike told Ed and James. “We’ve been married seventeen years now. So, for nine years no one knew, and then we finally had to tell her family – because her family is from Hilton Head Island (in South Carolina) and they’re very traditional… a tight-knit Black family, similar to mine.”

Afterward, he explained he needed Shana’s family’s blessing to build a property and the truth had to come out. “We were talking about building on some land here, we’d like to put a house here, and they were like, ‘Nah, you’re just f*ckingon our niece. What are you gonna do to take it seriously?’” he further recalled. “I was like, ‘Well, we’re already married.’” Luckily for them, the family wasn’t too upset. “No one really likes going to weddings,” Mike joked before adding: “The food is usually sh*tty.” Check out Mike’s full comments below.

Ari Fletcher & Moneybagg Yo Are Happily “Married,” She Claims An Hour After Calling Herself Single

Late last month, Moneybagg Yo’s longtime partner Ari Fletcher took to Twitter/X to announce that she was “single,” sparking a bit of confusion. Her announcement arrived just after the release of his track with Rob49, “Bussin,” and its nearly NSFW accompanying music video starring Ari. “F*ck that song and that video,” she wrote in a subsequent Tweet. It took fans by surprise, but the rapper’s reaction indicated that they were still very much an item.

“Never,” he responded alongside a series of laughing emojis, later sharing a heartfelt statement about the personality. “I Got Da Utmost respect for u,” he said. “We be in our own world not da one they live in ! We just be enjoying & having fun wit da sh*t Teamwork make dream work ! So for Anybody got some to say or against it Stfu & keep running us up !!”

It appears as though Ari wasn’t entirely sure, however. Yesterday, she hopped on Twitter/X once again, claiming to be single and asking fans for some advice. “I never been single for the summer but since I am now. What can I expect,” she wondered.

Only about an hour later she reclaimed her relationship with Moneybagg Yo, even telling followers they’re happily married. “We married. Love you bae @moneybaggyo,” she declared.

It remains unclear what prompted all of Ari’s recent indecisiveness when it comes to her relationship, but either way, fans are glad that she’s settled on sticking with Moneybagg.

Lil Scrappy Admits He’d “Definitely Marry” Erica Dixon Following Bambi Divorce

Lil Scrappy and Erica Dixon have been fueling reunion rumors for months now. It doesn’t look like the former is too opposed to the idea, either. During a recent Instagram Live, the performer chatted with fans about their relationship, comparing it to his last. It’s no secret that his divorce from Bambi got pretty messy, but viewers were still pretty surprised by what he said next.

“I would definitely get married to Erica,” he revealed. “I need something solid when I get married… like something real solid.” Scrappy continued, describing how he wants to be sure he knows the next person he marries as well as possible. “I want to know the person,” he explained, “be friends with them or something.”

Lil Scrappy Discusses His Relationship With Erica Dixon

As expected, commenters on the stream were quick to call Scrappy out, pressing him for more details of his and Dixon’s current arrangement. “I’m not saying Erica’s not solid, I’m just saying like, we’re just not together,” he responded. “That’s my friend.” While Scrappy and Dixon continue to deny rumors they’ve rekindled their romance, some of their latest social media posts have left fans suspicious, particularly a few fun vacation shots.

At the end of last month, the duo took a trip to Aruba together, sharing various clips and photos of the tropical getaway with their Instagram followers. Supporters noticed that their daughter didn’t appear to join them on the trip, and that Scrappy’s post was accompanied by some romantic music. Obviously, they couldn’t help but speculate, despite them insisting they’re nothing more than co-parents.

“Who TF Did I Marry”: Reesa Teesa’s Ex Considering Lawsuit Against Viral TikToker

February is typically considered one of the most romantic months of the year, but that doesn’t mean the news cycle has been devoid of relationship drama and celebrity breakups. For instance, Princess Love has filed for divorce from her man, Ray J, marking the couple’s fourth attempt at splitting up. Meanwhile, a TikToker named Teresa Johnson (known as Reesa Teesa online) broke the internet with her lengthy storytime about an allegedly tumultuous marriage to a man named Jerome McCoy. Throughout her 50+ videos exploring their less-than-a-year-long marriage, Johnson refers to him as “Legion” while accusing her ex-husband of telling tall tales about his career, family, and wealth during their time together.

In a conversation with TMZ, McCoy is sharing his side of things, claiming that Reesa Teesa once threatened to “expose” him as they were navigating trust issues. Because he failed to give into her demands, Legion says that his ex is only speaking out to spite him. He’s currently feeling backlash in his personal life as a result of the popular TikTok series that defames him, specifically in his career as a public relations employee at a hospital. According to the outlet, McCoy met with attorneys on Monday (February 26) to discuss his options for taking legal action against the content creator.

His company reportedly believes they’ve incurred damage from Reesa Teesa’s exposé, and Legion is supportive of any legal action they choose to take. His stance on pursuing private counsel remains unknown right now, but the embattled man makes it clear he’s not the monster his former partner is portraying him to be. We’re curious to see what will happen next for these two, whether it be a Tubi movie about the fiasco, or a court battle to settle their differences.

Elsewhere in the news, the music landscape on TikTok is changing dramatically thanks to the platform’s failure to reach an agreement with major music labels. Still, we can’t forget all the songs that unexpectedly went viral online thanks to creatives using them on TikTok.

Porsha Williams Moves To Divorce Simon Guobadia After 15 Months Of Marriage

PEOPLE just broke some shocking news based on reportedly obtained court documents that show Porsha Williams filed for divorce from her partner Simon Guobadia. Moreover, this came as a shock considering their constant praise of each other on social media and the fact that they tied the knot at two lavish ceremonies just 15 months ago. Not only that, but this news report also claims, through an alleged source close to the couple, that this split has nothing to do with allegations about his citizenship status. At press time, no details exist concerning the root of this rift, and a supposed insider claimed that this is an “ongoing matter.”

Furthermore, Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia, 42 and 59 years of age respectively, celebrated their union twice. The first was a vow exchange at a traditional Nigerian native law and custom ceremony, and they held a Western gathering in Atlanta in November of 2022. If you recall some key moments from the past few years around this relationship, such as Wendy Williamsmocking critique of Guobadia, then you know that this fling was a relatively scandalous one. Whether any of this social media gossip had anything to do with their actual fallout remains unknown.

Porsha Williams & Simon Guobadia Go Their Separate Ways: Report

In addition, folks may remember that this couple has a lot of baggage and potential conflict behind it. After all, Simon Guobadia is the ex-husband of one of Porsha Williams’ co-stars on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Falynn Guobadia. As such, there was a lot of discussion around their relationship dynamic, how this would affect the show, and how messy this could all turn out. Given what little we know of this split at the moment, these debates aged quite interestingly, as what were once assumptions are now theories.

Hopefully the nature of this decision isn’t based on criminal abuse or harmful actions, as Williams sadly has experience with a lot of romantic horrors. But what do you think about this sudden split and the context behind it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Porsha Williams.
