Nelly who? Ashanti may have spent the last ten years of her life in an on-again-off-again relationship with Nelly, however, she’s definitely not claiming it.
Recently, she stopped by Sway’s morning show to talk about her upcoming album Braveheart, and when asked if any of the tracks on her album would be about her past relationship with Nelly, she seemed to have no recollection of ever dating him. [Is this a new thing for celeb women? What an ego crusher!
On If Any of Her New Songs Will Be Based On Her Relationship With Nelly
Who said we had a relationship? [laughs] What you talkin’ ’bout Willis? The name of the album is Braveheart, I’ve been recording for a couple of months now. I’m actually recording in Charleston, South Carolina which is really cool. There’s a lot of heartfelt records on there. I think everybody can relate because I’ve been writing my records since I came out and everything has been from real life experience and that’s how people relate.
If She Would Date a Celebrity
I think what’s important is to find someone you have things in common with so that you can understand. So whether you have a nine to five or you’re in the industry or I don’t know, you’re into computers or you’re into doing nails, you find someone that you’re compatible with so that you guys understand what it is. Whatever facet of life you walk.
On Kids
I’m going to have an army. I love kids. I think I want to have, like, six. We’ll see what happens. I know I gotta get started. I got a couple of more things to do first and then, you know, then I’ll start really thinking about it in a couple more [—].
On If She fears her mom-manager
Do I fear my mom? I fear more so of disappointing [her]. I don’t ever think that I’m going to do something so crazy that that side — you don’t ever want to see that other side of my mother, I will say that. She’s fronting right now. This whole nice thing. Nah. The other side, I don’t even want to talk about it. It’s not good. I don’t think I’m ever going to do something that crazy, you know what I mean? I think I’m past that.
