They are the picture perfect couple!! I love them together! They look happy and like they are genuinely interested in each other, AND they stay out of the media for negative sh*t.
That damn Ashanti is a brickhouse!

They seem like they have an on and off relationship. Something seems off. Nelly’s looking a little chubby. Nice picture though.

have you ever watch music videos with girls like ashanti and when they show there body their skin look beatiful and flawless, especially the shots where the cameras slowly go up their thighs making it look even more hot, but then you see a pic like this one and you see her leg and your like damn. the moral of the story is dont be fooled.

SMH at ppl calling her fat….that’s why we have ppl with eating disorders. If you ever seen her in person you will know that she is very petite and small. I guess it comes off different in the pictures. She still looks hot.

If you take all that make up off Ashanti whole body she is not CUTE. Come on Nelly you can do better then that all these girls out her and you had to pick Ashanti. Whats with your Baby Mama Nelly? Shes good enough to have babies with but not good enough to put in the spot light when you start making money? Oh yeah #34 is right they could NEVER be Jay and Bee

I don’t know why you all hate on Ashanti so bad. I think she is pretty and they make a cute couple. She’s not overweight and I’m glad she’s not a size 0. Quit tripping on bs because you are miserable and be happy for black love!

Nelly was an athlete; however, knowing now how popular steroids are in Hollywood, I’d say he’s taking them.

Ashanti is NOT ugly! She would probably look better w/o the makeup…I know I do! And maybe Nelly isn’t with her due to her looks.

At # 34 they could never be another Jay-z and Beyonce was right. But, that is because Nelly and Ashanti actually have a REAL relationship. Not that mockery of a marriage that Jay and Bey claim to have.
I love Nelly and Ashanti together, they seem very happy together. They take time to look interested in each other. They walk side by side and even hold hands and hug while taking pictures. You can tell in both their eyes that love exist in this relationship.
I LOVE THEM, AND WISH THEM NOTHING BUT THE BEST !!!!!
They already look married.
Ashanti those Gucci boots are the business !!!!!!!!!

@ 60 Shellboogie
LMAO@ the foolishness you posted. So Nelly and Ashanto’s relationship is real because they flaunt it in front of cameras. RIGHT…….that makes sense (*rolls eyes*)
Anywho, they will never be another Jay and Bee because ashanti can’t sing to save her life, and nelly has been noted as one of the worst rappers.

umm she is not fat yall are crazy as hell if yall think that girl is fat I agree with another poster who said that is who so many young girls have eating disorders. Whoever said she was ugly yea okay that girl is pretty even without make up so miss me with that and whoever commented on nellys baby mama she is married some people are so pathetic to talk shit about people they don’t even know. Shan is actually really small guess you have to see her in person anybody who knws her , met her knows that and they are in love they don’t do shit for the cameras stop hatin on people are in love.

Oh tried it, honey!!!
Nelly and Ashanti is for publicity only. Your right they could never be Jay and Bey. And its because being that I live in St. Louis (where Nelly is from) when ever he comes back here to visit he is always posted up with some groupie kissing and dranking in the local club. All the residents here know this relationship aint about shit.
If you believe this relationship is anything solid then you are just the type of person Nelly and Ashanti were looking to fool with their little charade…
65.
WTF!!
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 /
yeah, I dont think its serious, Nelly was asked about following Jay and Beyoncé for a possible wedding with Ashanti, he said, no, Ashanti and him are just having fun, they’re cool, so I dont think their relationship is serious… they cant be the new Jayoncé, they dont have yet their success, love and money….

I’m just amazed at some of the IGNORANCE in these comments.
Fat?
Fake Love?
Can’t be Bee & Jay?
Her 15 is over?
I won’t argue it though. No matter what she’s still getting paid like a mf’r and you sittin you broke ass at the computer sayin how fat you think she is. GOOD JOB. Glad to see you doing something with your lives.

#64 obviously ur a beyonce stan
who cares who theyre like?? jay n beyonce arent the epitome of the “perfect couple” who says theyre king n queen of all relationships? and why everytime theres a new hip hop couple theyre compared to jay n beyonce?? they arent the first hip hop couple u kno.. (i.e. whitney n bobby, as reckless as that was) im sorry stans but beyonce n jayz arent GODS, as convinced as you are that they are ur GODS they arent!!
and im not hating cuz i love both of their music very much.

You people kill me! Please read my post again before making a comment.
First # 62 that call yourself “Beyonce Forever”, I wont agrue with you because your name says it all. You think Beyonce is the greatest thing since slice bread. Poor you!
Second, I said they actually have a real relationship. Now, if this is all for the public it would have been dispelled years ago. Bow Wow and Ciara did not work and this would not have either. You can’t fake something for this long. Clearly, he might have some kind of feelings for her. But, clear their chemistry way surpass Jay and Bey!
Be honest with yourself Jay and Beyonce have the WORST chemistry together as a couple than ANY OTHER COUPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
Damn, Nick Cannon and Mariah have more body language and chemistry Jay and Bey do.
Don’t get hurt by the truth!

Beyonce Forever
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 /
@ 70….you right I love beyonce as an artist….but that has nothing to do with nothing. Everyone (but you) can see that they (Ashanti and nelly) have great sex and some fun times, but clearly are not in a committed relationship. Jay and Beyonce spend quality time together. And when they’re on stage, their chemisrty is so potent it ridiculous.
Glad you didn’t comment on the fact that Ashanti can’t sing and the nelly can’t rap.
And no i don’t think beyonce is the greatest thing since slice bread…(she surpassed slice bread when she released “Crazy In Love”…LOL. Joking)

@Beyonce forever I was just wondering have you ever spent any time with nells and shan to know that they ate not in a committed realtionship????
I was just wondering cause I actually have to tell you sweetie you are so wrong.
