As far back as March this year, Ashanti and Nelly had been rumoured to have rekindled their romance following their breakup ten years ago. Well, Nelly has let the cat out of the bag, confirming that they are indeed back together.
“Yeah, we’re cool again,” said Nelly when asked if he and Ashanti were back together. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that was, like, I don’t think planned. I think we were both pretty much doing what we do. But sometimes, being separate, you understand one another more.”
Nelly believes their first stint together failed because they were both at the height of their careers. “When you have so many people in the middle of it, it can be tough,” he explained.
He added that his goal is to “die married.” The hitmaker elaborated, “The goal is to leave this earth knowing that you had someone who loved you.”
Nelly and Ashanti had an on-and-off relationship between 2003 and 2013, until their split.
