They began by rating various red carpet looks over the years. One photo of Ashanti appeared to be from the very early stages of her career when — as Nelly put it— “them baby momma hips ain’t kick in yet.”
The mirror was turned to the St. Louis-bred hitmaker, who rocked a full brown Louis Vuitton-patterned outfit, which Joan Rivers compared to a human “luggage.”
Next up, they debated their biggest parenting disagreement to date when it came to the couple’s son Kareem “KK” Haynes, which took place over a popsicle when he was four months old.
Nelly was about to feed their son and Ashanti came out of nowhere like an NBA shot blocker and knocked it out of his hands.
“She don’t understand how [many] uncles he got,” Nelly responded to the contrast in parenting styles. “Like that boy, as soon as he leaves the house, he gonna be trying to go run with somebody that’s gonna give him a bag of Doritos.”
Nelly attempted to pull a fast one on his wife when he asked her how old she was when she lost her virginity. However, Ashanti knew that wasn’t part of the game and flipped the script on Nelly when questioning him about the girl he had with him was when they reconnected at a 2023 Verzuz.
“I don’t even remember that. She was a nobody,” Nelly replied while pleading the fifth. “You really want to do that, huh?”
After about a decade since they last split, the 2023 Verzuz show laid the trail for them to eventually rekindle the flame and get back together. Nelly and Ashanti tied the knot and welcomed their first child together in July 2024.
