FRIEND SAYS ASHANTI IS PREGNANT..
Wednesday, June 14, 2006
Our i-net friends Mediatakeout.Com has another exclusive. They claim Ashanti is preggers!
June 14. Yesterday a close friend to R&B superstar Ashanti confirmed to MediaTakeOut.com what people have been speculating for weeks - that Ashanti is four months pregnant.
And the pregnancy may explain Ashanti’s new look. As the below photos show, the sexy songstress has gone through some changes in recent months. The first photo, taken last year, shows a slim and trim Ashanti. The second photo, taken a few weeks ago, shows Ashanti with a slight tummy bulge. It also shows that Ashanti’s nose has widened and she appears to have a natural “glow” - both common indicators of pregnancy.
Many industry insiders are speculating that famed rapper Nelly is the father of the child. Nelly and Ashanti have been dating for nearly three years and seem very happy together. And according to one of Nelly’s pals, he’s gotten so close to Ashanti that he’s considering marriage.
But one insider tells MediaTakeOut.com that she believes the father of the child is Irv Gotti, the married head of Ashanti’s record label. Gotti, who openly admits to cheating on his wife, was linked romantically to Ashanti early in her career. The two reportedly rekindled their romance earlier this year while working on her new album.
We asked a representative for Ashanti for a comment on the pregnancy, but the rep declined. (source)
Who knows where Mediatakeout gets this stuff from, but I’ll be watching out anyway!

It’s not like a baby is going to ruin her career or anything of that nature because her career is already over. Nelly already has 2 kids plus his sisters 2 kids I guess 1 more won’t hurt. *Shrugs*

I’ve NEVER been a fan of Ashanti’s and even less now. I have no respect for a woman who messes around with a married man or vice versa. If she’s pregnant by Nelly God help her. She’ll be added to the “baby mama” list.

that’s fucked up if that true that ashanti slept with irv gotti while he’s married…she’s a HOE if she did not to mention she also supposing don’t know who her baby’s father is…and her messing around with both Nelly and Irv at the same time….she lost some respect for that if it is true

Sparks u must think good girls are hoes…because if that’s true what I read under he name….she is far from being a good girl….looks can be deceiving…and that book superhead wrote..she mentioned in their that ashanti slept with ja rule who she was also sleeping with. She is a loser in my catergory….and I see she have a thing for married men

Man listen! Show me some pictures that are proof.
Then I will believe it. rumors-rumors-& more rumors.
Irv GOTTI? surprise to me I always figured it was Ja Rule (as the one cheating on his wife with Ashanti) not Irv.
NELLY? They never even came out “officially” as a couple. They were “RUMORED” to have been dating for 3 years (that statement above needs to be cleared up).
If she is pregnant–congratulations to ASHANTI!
But-man—to have worked so hard in the GYM for those tight ABS only to mess it up by becoming pregnant? DAMN ASHANTI.

If she is pregnant by Gotti, they should both be worked over with a Louisville Slugger. But I think Nelly is the father, if this is indeed true.

keepithood: you don’t know what the hell you talking about because in superhead book she tells you that Ja rule wife thought that he was messing with ashanti because of all the rumors people were putting out after there video came out.(everybody thinks you dating after you do a video)Anyways superhead also said that even she knew that ashanti was’nt messing with ja rule. And she wasn’t messing with gotti either because she still had her boyfriend until like 2003 when she really started to get big and he couldn’t handle the pressure and they broke up so get your damn facts straight and quit hatin.

Man we all know IRV was fucking Ashanti when she first came out but they broke up and remained business partners. How in the hell do you think she got her record deal? I hope you don’t actually think because of her voice. He was very upset when she started dating Nelly to. If she is pregnant then she’s a dumb bitch because her career will officially be over.

Actually Nelly has 4 kids he has his own 2 biologically children and when his sister died she left sole custody of her 2 kids to Nelly so he has 4. You can’t knock him down though for taking on his sisters kids I applaud him for that.

I saw Ashanti in concert and I hate to say it, but the girl did not sound good at all. She can hold a note, but her voice lacks depth. She sounded like one of the irritating chipmunks.

Okay…okay, I’ve had enough pressure already!!! I’m finally coming out of the closet…as I am sure that you’ve all guessed this about me all along. Yes it’s true…I am the father of Ashanti’s baby!!! And I want to assure you all that I won’t be an absentee father. That dead beat dad thing just ain’t me!!! So Ashanti…honey…I’m coming home to assume my responsibilty…and I don’t want to see Irv Gotti, Nelly, or Nelly Furtado there when I get home!!!!
Love and kisses…your baby’s daddy,

Well I wasnt looking but I was down in Miami this past Memorial Day weekend and I attended the Nelly Pool Party @ Hotel Victor and he seemed real cozy with the Apple Bottom Models but I mean that could have been just for the show and no Ashanti sighting was there although I was looking 4 her sexy azz……I don’t know something aint right with that couple anyway…..I mean I think its a on and off thing……Ja already comfirmed his distaste for Nelly’s Music……Maybe Irv is still baggin Ashanti?

I MEAN, WHO’S GONNA MARRY THE GIRL AND TAKE SHAME OFF HER FACE?
PLEASE PEOPLE IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE KIDS, AT LEAST LET PEOPLE SEE YOU DATING THE MAN FOR AT LEAST A FEW MONTHS. I SAY HAVE AN ABORTION… BECAUSE IT WOULD BE BAD IF SHE GIVES IT TO NELLY AND IT IS ACTUALLY GOTTI’S…

I can’t speak for her music, it’s lacking in so many ways. She’s a hook girl, good at singing refrains and hooks. Like Tweet.
As far as if she’s w/child or not. That’s her business, but the child will bring her joy. Children are blessings point blank. And seeing that her and her mom have a god relationship, I’m sure this baby will be blessed. No matter who’s the daddy!

I don’t know if Ashanti is a hoe or not I don’t know her like that BUT, I did hear that Irv was mad about Ashanti’s and Nelly’s relationship. But who knows anyway the best of luck IF she is indeed Preggers.

Ok why is everyone calling Ashanti a hoe. Do any of you know her personally to say that? I think not…so you all need to calm that shit down. People call others names out of their owm assumptions without any sort of factual information. We talk about celebs all day long but no one thinks about them as a person. They are people with real emotions and needs just like us. Entertainers work their asses off from the beginning of the day to the wee hours of the morning. They deserve all they got because they work really hard for it. Doing tours and making appearances is not easy. They work hard as hell to entertain us and we’re like “she’s a ho” Who gives a shit if she’s pregnant or not. A baby is a blessing and I’m sure if she is pregnant obviosly she wants it or else she could have gotten rid of it. THAT’S ALL PEOPLE…… MOVING ON. AND DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO OPRAH WITH THAT SHIT. IT’S ALL TRUE.

Take me in…I confess…I’m guilty and have nothing to hide!!! Ashanti, convict me with your love…lock me up, and throw away the damn key!!! I deserve a live sentence in your prison of love and we both know it!!!
Look, whether I’m the father or not…I don’t care how the DNA test checks out…unless one of the other suspects fesses up, I’m willing to change diapers and everything. Ashanti give me a holla!!!!

I guess I’m the last of a dying breed then because I’m 28 and I’ve never been preggars and don’t intend to have any children until I’m married or in a long-term relationship with the father. As far as this goes, we shall know soon enough if it’s true or false.

If Ashanti is a hoe then all the celebrities are hoes! It’s funny how black ppl are quick to call eachother hoes but when there was a post with Angelina Jolie, no one called her a hoe for breaking up a marriage. I think alot of you bitches that hate Ashanti are jealous!

@50-what the hell iz u talkin bout, r u even on the same subject?
Anyway, am i the only one who didn’t know that Ashanti and Nelly has been dating fo 3 years? I mean i know they were dating but damn not fo 3 yrs. i was thinking more like __months.
i don’t know if i believe the whole thing anyway though, i’ll just wait till some show or radio announce the (maybe) upcoming delivery.
by the way,would some of ya’ll stop sayin she a ho.just because words goin around sayin she have fucked Irv,Ja, and Nelly dosen’t mean she did and if she did do so who cares; many people fucked more than one person and had kids by one or more person so stop using that word upon her.
