Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're on Airthryan Seacrest, and the formula for a number
one hit back in the two thousand seem to be
to pair a big wrapper with a female pop star
providing the hook, But with Nellie and Ashanti, it also
turned out to be the recipe for much more of
a successful marriage. The fellow superstars tied thenot in twenty
twenty three and share a child together, Kareem, who was
born just last July. But this isn't the first time
Nellie and Ashanti have been together. They dated on and

(00:21):
off for nearly a decade, beginning in twenty thirteen before
going their separate ways. So what made it click for
them the second time around? For Nelly, it came down
to destinying the mutual understanding that the bond they have
as special.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I think, like a lot of stuff, you know when
you separate, if it's something that truly is meant to be,
it'll be. And if it's something that you find out
that it actually brings you more joy than you know not.

(00:51):
And I base that on any relationship with anybody that
I have in my life, does this person bring more
good than it brings bad? So it doesn't matter who
it is, and if they don't, then I politely remove myself.
And if it does, then you understand and you continue
on with the bonding. But I think with this it

(01:11):
was it was. I guess it was meant to be, man,
and you know we both enjoyed it. Yeah, like we're married. Nah,
so do man.

Speaker 1 (01:23):

and they might end up on a track, a new
track as well. Nellie's currently working on Heartland Too, the
