Nelly and Ashanti are working on a special duet!
The Grammy Award-winning artists are expecting their first baby together, the R&B songstress confirmed in a video shared to her Instagram on Wednesday, April 17.
As Ashanti, 43, gets ready for a performance, her mom Tina Douglas asks her how much time she needs. “Uh, I’m gonna need about nine months,” Ashanti answers, prompting her mom to look shocked.
The singer shared the news with Essence, revealing that not only is she pregnant, but she and Nelly, 49, are engaged.
“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” Ashanti told the outlet. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.
