Nelly Goes Live Mid-Mom Duty
Leave it to Ashanti and Nelly to keep things real and hilarious! On Thursday, fans were treated to a surprise moment when Nelly hopped on IG Live — and let’s just say, things got very real.

During a sweet — and hilarious — moment caught on camera, Ashanti was seen pulling a sheet over her face while Nelly leaned in close, trying to capture the moment. “She’s pumping milk for KK. She don’t want y’all to see,” he joked. Meanwhile, Ashanti burst into laughter and playfully tried to snatch the phone from his hands. The couple gave fans a peek into parenthood, nearly a year after welcoming their first child together — a baby boy named Kareem — on July 18, 2024.
Meanwhile, Nelly couldn’t resist cracking jokes and bringing the energy, cutting up on camera like it was 2003 all over again. The whole moment had fans praising the couple’s chemistry and how comfortable they are with each other — even in the most candid moments.

Their Journey Into Parenthood
As previously covered by The Shade Room, in July 2024, Ashanti and Nelly welcomed their son, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes. In addition to being a father to Kareem, Nelly has two biological children and has taken on the role of guardian for his niece and nephew after the passing of his sister in 2005. And, this is Ashanti’s first child.
Ashanti previously shared that she had frozen her eggs before getting pregnant, explaining that she wanted to have the option “just in case.” She also described her son as her “best friend” and “the sweetest angel baby,” noting that he always makes her smile and laugh. Reflecting on her journey to motherhood, Ashanti revealed that she had been manifesting marriage and children, but never imagined it would unfold with Nelly. “I just kept saying, ‘Send me my person, whoever it’s supposed to be, just send them.’ And he sent him!” she added.
Although the public first caught wind of couple’s marriage last June, official records reveal that Ashanti and Nelly actually tied the knot on December 27, 2023. While they’ve kept a low profile, their bond appears to only deepen as they continue to navigate this new chapter of their lives together.
