During an Instagram Live session with fans, Joe discussed the couple's relationship “They look so happily ever after,” Joe said while explaining that he had spoken to the couple about the alleged pregnancy rumors. According to Joe, there's no baby on the way but the couple is living “happily ever after.”
In Fat Joe's Instagram Live, he recalled Face-Timing Nelly and Ashanti, “I immediately tell them I need 10 percent of this kid because if it wasn't for Verzuz, that I brought Nelly out [during] me against Ja Rule, that's when they saw each other and energy connected again,” said Fat Joe. “That's when he said 'I gotta have her.' He was over there contemplating; he really wanted to go over there.”
Joe continued, “He goes over there, and that starts the conversation. You know somebody gotta crack the ice — I don't know why they fell out.”
The couple's romance was confirmed by Nelly in September 2023, stating their reunion was a surprise. Ashanti also co-signed the relationship on the MTV VMAs red carpet, where she held a clutch that included a 20-year-old photo of the two when they first met at the annual awards show.
