The legendary American rapper has confirmed the news that him and his ex-girlfriend Ashanti are officially back together after months of romance rumours.
Sitting in an interview with “Love and Hip Hop” stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost, the ‘Ride With Me’ performer said: “Yeah, we cool again. I think it surprised both of us though. It wasn’t anything that I don’t think was planned.” (shared by The Shade Room).
The 48 year old mentioned that he believes the years apart contributed to them finding their way back to each other. “I think we both were pretty much doing what we do, but sometimes being separate you understand one another more. You be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly what they see.’ You know, because we all can be defensive sometimes in our own relationships. We know we wrong but we going to stand on it. But we all a victim to that.”
The musician also went on to mention that their burgeoning romance has had “no pressure,” so it “feels good now.” He explained that he felt like both of them were doing what they were doing before career-wise, and when you got so many people in the middle of it, it can be tough.
The couple’s reconciliation rumours started when they attended a fight night in Las Vegas together, and then a couple of weeks later they showed up at Tao Group Hospitality executive Jon Schwartz’s extravagant 40th birthday party.
Nelly and the 42 year old singer broke up in 2013 after a decade-long on-again, off-again relationship that was mainly kept out of the spotlight.
Nelly moved on with longtime girlfriend Shantel Jackson in 2015, but the couple split in 2021.
