Ashanti Shares Mixed Feelings About Nelly Going On Tour
As mentioned, the couple is putting us of their business with their show, ‘Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together.’ A recent episode showed them discussing the rapper occurring tour, and the way that might impact his time at home helping look after their son.
Unlike Nelly, Ashanti is a first-time parent to their toddler, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, who will turn one on July 18, 2025. Since giving birth, Ashanti has kept busy with public appearances, including red carpets. And evidently busy energy is similar at home! Within the TV show clip, Ashanti revealed that she’s completely satisfied for Nelly’s opportunity to tour, but admitted that the wife and mother side of her felt “just a little sad.” She even joked about calling Live Nation over the scheduling! “Daddy’s gonna be gone a protracted time,” she said.
After he reassured her, saying he thinks she’ll be high quality, Ashanti explained that “with the infant it’s rather a lot.” But Nelly reminded her it’s all her, even when he’s home. “I ain’t even gon lie,” he said, saying he has “nothing else” for his son. Ashanti seconded his claim, after which the show flashed to Nelly telling a bunch of men how he was handling daddy duties. While Kareem can’t talk or walk, the rapper said Ashanti is leading.
“But as soon as he start walking, I told her, I said, ‘Enjoy.’ Cause soon as he get to walking and talking, he with the crew,” Nelly told the group within the flashback.
