Nelly To Ashanti’s Mom: “Fall Back Heffah”

Posted by Bossip Staff

Ashanti, Tina Douglas & Nelly

Nelly is sick and tired of Thickums mom pimpin’ her out:

Nelly is ready to propose to his girlfriend of five years, Ashanti. But there’s just one problem: He can’t stand her mother, Tina Douglas! “Tina sticks her nose in everything because she’s also Ashanti’s manager,” a source tells Star. “She’s always pushing Ashanti to make more money, to always look great. It stresses her out, and Nelly doesn’t like that.”

The rapper, 34, has tried to encourage Ashanti, 28, to become more independent, but “Tina has such a strong personality that she’s kind of afraid of her.” Still, if the singer doesn’t put her mom in her place soon, she won’t be getting that rock she’s been hoping for. “Before he makes her his wife,” adds the source, “Nelly wants to know that Ashanti can make decisions on her own.”

Gotta love them stage moms using their kids like Class A gravy trains & sh*t. Lol at Ashanti being scared of her mom too. How sad. But seriously, we don’t blame Nelly for holding out until Ms. Thicky-kins learns to keep Tina in check – in-law drama is a b*tch. By the by, now we see where ole girl gets them massive hams from.

  1. That’s right Nelly, but really U can’t say too much unil she’s your wife so I guess U need to fall back and marry her ASAP

  2. ha ha

    of course!! Ashanti is Mom’s sole income.

    she aint ready to give that up. I feel for Nelly.


  3. (Looking at the picture)

    Damn her momma wouldn’t even let him attend the event with them…LOL

  4. ThatBKChick

    If this ish is true…then it’s time for momz to step off….retire her azz like Usher did his momz…it’s not like Tina’s azz had her career poppin, like Usher’s mom…in fact, maybe Usher’s momz need to talk to Tina’s azz too?!…I don’t know…who knows?….But I know that we have all been waiting for Nelly and Ashanti to tie that knot now…they been at it as long as Jay and Bey….I wish them luck.

    I like Ashanti is better know and is more of a writer than a singer/entertainer. I think she should fall back, produce and pop out babies with those thick azz hips for Nelly and tell her momma to “fall back” :) !

  5. Ermy Erm (Chitown til it go DOWN, even though its cold as FUGGIES outside!)

    *snickerin @ Ashanti’s mom’s droopy boob*

    Well, if Nelly asks Ashanti to marry him, he prolly can have more input as to her decision making instead of waiting for Ashanti to do it herself. I mean, a mom is mom for life so he better just propose already

  6. Kitina

    The only thing about that if it wasn’t for Tina, Ashanti would have never been in the position to meet Nelly. Her mother has managed her career very successfully, but on the real. If Nelly doesn’t like her mother, I don’t think Ashanti should marry him. That’s not good.

  7. Nina Knows

    oh puh-lease… let that be the reason.. *rolling eyes*

    on another note, them shades fly ***** hell nelly, with yo none lyrical *****.

  8. Ms Christine

    Go on Nelly! I love a manly man!

    Sending you all love from the LBC!

  9. Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl (Feeling on top of the world!!)

    Bossip stop hating on Ashanti thickness, me and her have the same body type, and the dudes cant get enough of it, HATERS!!!

    This msg has been approved by Brooke!

  10. KillahCam

    lmao @ the droopy boob comment

  11. ha ha

    @ Kitina

    Ashanti is a grown azz woman now. She dont need no one’s approval if she love someone.

    I know someone who mother hated their boyfriend at the time. well they have been married for over 20 years now.

    Tina needs to let her go

  12. bINGO BOAT

    In law drama. Some bullsh*t. All in they business. Its time to cut the strings. Take care of your mom but don’t let he control you. Ashanti will find her self old and lonely with her mom sitting in her pad.

  13. Lady Architect

    I actually agree with Nelly on this one. Her mom is her manager in her music career. As far as life Ashanti is a grown woman. No man wants to marry a woman where her momma will be all in their business and I don’t disagree with him. Ashanti needs to talk to her mom and tell her mom that she has a life, she’s in love, and she needs her privacy with her man. Everytime you Ashanti and Nelly her mom is always around somewhere. How can someone enjoy that for the rest of their life? Tina needs another job and worry about her younger daughter being all over the place and out of shape. Stop trying to bank so much and live your dreams through your daughter.

  14. chaka1

    Her mother is obviously still controlling her. This is why her entire entertainment career has stalled.


  15. It’s something about those “Tina’s”……

    ????

  16. JUJU

    ONLY A WEAK MAN WILL LET IN-LAWS RUIN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. TRUST ME, I HAVE SEEN IT DONE-BUT THE GUYS THAT APPEAR TO BE FAMILY ORIENTED REALLY ARE THE ONES THAT NO ONE CAN DECIDE FOR THEM WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS!(“MOMMA I KNOW SHE A STRPPER BUT I LOVE HER”)!

  17. pm

    its a shame when a parent can’t just be happy for her.

  18. Detroiter4Life

    Bossip…….LMAO!!! Stop talkin about that girls legs….(crackin up) ya’ll know ya’ll some clowns! ;o)

    I think Nelly just trying to stall! It’s whatever you want to marry her than do that $h*t and ice those damn excuses! Even if her momma is da bidness once you hubby you gets to run yo own house…….oh excuse me I guess only Real men know that!!

  19. A Pimp Named Slickback

    I’ve been there… and it’s NOT a good look… Nelly is doing the right thing. That ish will have consequences and repercussions in the long run if it doesn’t get addressed now…

  20. BlackLADYDoctor

    I disagree. A smart man is wise enough to know that he’ll be stuck with the mother-inlaw from hell. That’s right momma in law chill out before Ashanti takes off with her fine rich man and wedding ring without YOU. That has to be difficult for Ashanti…having two people you love at it. Tell the mother that business is just that and what goes on between you and your future wife is your business, although I can see Ashanti’s mom cuttin’ a negro for hurting her. I don’t know…Mom sounds like she needs a life and some other ‘talent’ to manage.

  21. Special K

    @ Octavia

    lol you are correct all those Tina’s that’s stage mothers that is. I agree with Nelly if this is true you have to learn when to cut the a***** strings and let your children have a life that they are responsible for. She spending all this energy on Ashanti and she has another daughter she could be parenting.

  22. blaq

    ***** her mama better stress that ***** out, she only has a few more years that she can ride on her looks. But as a manager Nelly as a husband is a great career move considering her career is practically over. On a side note, I heard Nelly was creeping in St. Louis with Ciara, so don’t be surprised if this is just a prequel to the break up

  23. stephanie bochum

    oh my god,i am so sorry to hear about beyonce,she was in a terrible car accident,& has head injuries.get well soon “B”

  24. stuffbetweenmytoes

    at least she isnt as bad as ms. patterson…or is she?


  25. DONT MARRY THAT ***** CAUSE IF U GOT PROBLEM NOW IMAGINE WHATS GOING TO HAPPEND WHEN YALL GET MARRIED AND HAVE PROBLEMS SHE WILL TRY AND CONVIENCE HER TO GET A DEVORCE AND TAKE ALL YO ***** EAVE THAT BIG LEG ***** ALONE

  26. betty

    ya wouldnt say all that if it was nelly’s mom *****ing with ashanti getting close to Nelly. Yall be like oohh mama’s boy

  27. Get The F*(K Outtta Here!

    This may be effed up but he may have break it off with her to make a point. Be your own woman or stay under you moms skirt. Imagine if they were to get married how the moms would be at the house every day!

  28. bkf

    ashanti just be very careful… remember one thing USHER didnt listen and look at him now?? and since your flopping big time mmmmhhhh i just dont know what to tell you… whatever the case remember that family come first so ask nelly to fall back

  29. wifey06

    bible says “leave to cleave’

    I know first hand how in-laws can be unless you have a talk about it up front stuff won’t change. Nelly right don’t do it unless Ashanti acts like a woman and steps up.

    Or do like deliver us from Eva and hire some dud to ***** with her mom head…Always the lonely ones who block….who will be her pay check then? lol

  30. Toni M.

    booo…Bossip he has already proposed to her and HE broke that engagement off last year round this time…then they got back together. Maybe ma dukes is tryin to save her from a bum.

    He *****in around and dont want to seal the deal…cant no mama or otherwise tell you what to do w/ur wife in your house so if its that real sign on the dotted line or let her go, so i say.

  32. If it was the other way around, ya would be sayin Nelly’s a mama’s boy and Ashanti is the smart one.
    Ashanti needs to woman up and stop being a mama’s girl.

  33. kenya

    I think that Tina has done a good job with Ashanti, she seems down to earth, and I like her music, but she needs to stand up to miss tina and let her know that it’s her life, and she’ll be with whomever she chooses. At the same time, Nelly needs to respect the fact that tina is her mother, and the bond they share surp*****es any she’ll ever have with anyone else, so tread lightly.

  34. SOMER

    Where is the source for this story? Star mag? rolling my eyes……….whatever.

  35. Lady L
