Looks as if Ashanti has a new baby to sing about: her first child, with rapper Nelly.
The “Baby” singer announced Monday that she and the “Hot in Herre” rapper had recently welcomed their baby. She flaunted her post-partum figure for an Instagram video shared Monday. “Four weeks post-partum, you have no idea what this body can do,” she says, wearing labor recovery shorts.
In her caption, Ashanti reflected her life plans, joking how they haven’t been “always on time.” Before they became parents together, Nelly and Ashanti were exes. Before splitting in 2013, the “Body on Me” collaborators had dated on and off for 11 years. They rekindled their romance in September 2023 and got married that December.
“I’ve been waiting to be a mom for a long time now but nothing could prepare me for EVERYTHING motherhood brings!,” Ashanti wrote, adding, “I’m so proud of my body for giving me my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.”
