It's been months known Ashanti and Nelly are rumored to be expecting, and although the couple hasn't confirmed the news yet, Ashanti's mother may have let the cat out of the bag…sort of.
Ashanti's mother Tina Douglas recently participated in an on-stage interview with Antoine Edwards and after Edwards congratulated Douglas on her daughter's rumored pregnancy, Douglas tried to downplay the news saying “There has been no announcement” , which prompted Edwards to apologize and say she thought it was already public. Douglas responded by saying “It's public. Don't get it wrong, but it hasn't been officially announced.” In other words, “Thanks, but no comment yet.”
They tried to get Ashadi's mom to slip, but she isn't taking the bait. Well done Ms. Douglas.
Although news of Ashanti's pregnancy has been circulating since December, neither she nor Nelly have officially announced the good news. While the two have been taking to social media to show the world just how in love they are these days, the “Happy” singer has been wearing loose clothing in most of her posts. A far cry from the thirst traps her fans are used to seeing before she reunited with Nelly last year.
As to why the two haven't confirmed the rumors so far, that's anyone's guess. Maybe they plan to do it in an exaggerated way. Maybe they don't want to screw it up as many couples choose to keep such news to avoid the “evil eye” of haters and so on. Regardless of why they're keeping everything under wraps, we're glad the two are out there living their best lives and likely starting a family together.
What do you think? Should Nelly and Ashanti confirm the rumors at this point or keep them private until the child is born? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
