Ashanti buys Nelly a car for his birthday
Ashanti once hinted that she would never get back with Nelly, regardless of how hard he tried. But, after the Irv Gotti interview on “Drink Champs,” Ashanti and Nelly got close again. Alongside Ja Rule, they got booked for several shows together. Proximity must’ve brought the two closer. Earlier this year, they confirmed being back together. For Ashanti’s birthday, Nelly iced out her watch. As a result, she bought him his dream car for his.
Ashanti came into the game at a time when R&B was in transition. At the time, Ja Rule was on top of the game. After making hits with Christina Milian and Lil’ Mo, Ja Rule was soon paired with Jennifer Lopez. This is how Ashanti was introduced to the industry. On those Jennifer Lopez hits, she was providing background vocals. As a result, when she got her own songs with Rule, Ashanti ended up going straight to the top of the charts.
Ashanti was topping the charts alongside Ja Rule the same year Nelly was doing the same with Kelly Rowland. However, when it came to the music, the two never crossed paths. It wouldn’t be until 2008, when it was confirmed they were dating, when Ashanti and Nelly collaborated. Now, they have much more going on than just music. This week, Nelly celebrated his birthday and Ashanti surprised him with his dream car.
