Over the weekend, social media was buzzing with excitement as a video circulated suggesting that the infamous on-again, off-again duo, Ashanti and Nelly, may have been spotted on a date.

The two musicians were seen cozying up ringside at the sold-out Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia boxing match at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In a video captured after the fight, Nelly, 48, and Ashanti, 42, were seen holding hands, fueling speculation about their relationship.

Rapper/actor Bow Wow hopped in TSR’s comments on Instagram to urge Nelly to settle down and marry Ashanti:

 

 

“Yo mo! I know we not seeing eye to eye either really but from lil bro to big bro STOP PLAYING AND MARRY THIS WOMAN BRO!,” Bow Wow wrote. “You like 50 sit yo old a** down [laughing emojis] this your queen.”

Hmph. Says the person who claims they’re never getting married.

The former couple also hit the stage together in Vegas:

 

 

Despite their history together, Ashanti and Nelly have kept their romance under wraps and left fans wondering about the nature of their relationship. Over the years, both have been coy in the press about whether they are just friends or something more. Nevertheless, their reunion at the boxing match has certainly stirred up the rumor mill once again.

They were one of Hip Hop’s most-loved couples during the early 2000s. They first met in 2003 at a Grammy Awards press conference. Then, dating rumors began shortly after. There was even marriage talk at one point during their decade long relationship, however, they never made it down the aisle. They called it quits in 2013.

In November 2022, the Grammy Award winning singer was front and center to support her Murda Inc. homie Ja Rule during his VERZUZ Battle with Fat Joe. The R&B singer was minding her business on stage before her ex-Nelly made a viral moment. The “Country Grammar” rapper saw Ashanti looking good across the stage and made a beeline to her with his arms extended as if he wanted a hug. He leaned in for a hug and whispered something in her ear. Check it:

 

 

”It was very unexpected,” Ashanti told Power 105’s Angie Martinez during an interview. “I hadn’t seen him in, like, six years. Spoken or seen. It was a little awkward!”

So, what did Nelly whisper in her ear?

”You know what the crazy part is, he didn’t say anything,” she explained. “He didn’t say anything. First of all, I didn’t know he was going to be there. I told Joe, like, ‘Joe, why didn’t you tell me he was gonna be here?’ He was like, ‘Sis, I know, it’s terrible! I couldn’t risk you not coming if you knew he was gonna be there,” she said impersonating Joe perfectly.

In December of 2022, the former flames took to the stage as part of Power 98.3 and Power 96.1’s “Under The Mistletoe” concert series in Glendale, Arizona. Footage from the event captured Ashanti dancing on Nelly while performing their 2008 hit collaboration, “Body On Me.”

 

 

This reunion sparked excitement among fans, who were eager to see if it was a sign of a rekindled romance or just a friendly collaboration between the two talented musicians.

Will they get back together? Or is this just a case of two old friends catching up? Time will tell…
