Ashanti and Nelly have been rumoured to be expecting since December 2023, where during an event she put her hand on her stomach, and Nelly did the same, and broke into laughter after hinting together.
A host congratulated Douglas on her daughter's pregnancy, to which she responded that it hasn't "officially been announced."
“Well, there’s been no announcement. It hasn’t come out yet,” she said. “But, you know, until I hear it from Ashanti and Nelly…" she said on stage.
The host then apologies, but Douglas replied: "No, it is public. Don’t get it twisted. But it hasn’t officially been announced. So until it is…"
Rumours about Ashanti and Nelly's pregnancy started in December 2023 after the pair appeared to confirm they were expecting at an event.
The next month, Ashanti added more fuel to the rumours after she performed on stage alongside Ja Rule with a more prominent bump according to fans.
They assumed Ashanti wore an oversized t-shirt dress was an attempt to conceal a baby bump. It seems it is only a matter of time until Nelly & Ashanti publicly confirm the news!
