According to some old wives tales, how you spend New Year’s Eve pretty much dictates how you’ll spend the year.

So this should be an interesting year in “We’re Not A Couple”-Land for Nelly and Ashanti, huh? They rang the New Year in all coupled up at Haze Nightclub in Vegas.

Happy New Year, lovebirds!

Last week, we caught up with Nelly in between promo runs for his latest release “Nelly 5.0“. And in a surprisingly free-flowing and candid interview, we talked about his new music and the highly publicized Twitter outburst during which he criticized his label for lack of effort in promoting the album. Getting him to talk about his secret wifey Ashanti was a whole other story though. Continue »

SMH… And she says he’s just a FRIEND! The saga continues with Nelly and cotdamn Ashanti running around making it obvious he is still choppin’ those thickum thighs and cakes to smithereens. Continue »

Ashanti is nowhere near as affected by Nelly’s recent denial of their years-long relationship as the rest of us were. Or so she says.

On the set of 106 & Park’s tenth anniversary celebration, ‘Shanti echoed Nelly’s comments.

So one of the rumors that I would like to clear up, the whole Nelly-Ashanti, and Nelly’s denying and Nelly’s not claiming; let’s clear that up right now,” she told BET.com. “Me and Nelly are good friends. I never said I was his girl, I never quote, unquote, “claimed him,” I never said we were an item and neither has he, so there you have it. We’re good friends. The whole, ‘oh he’s denying and she’s denying,’ no claiming. Come on, son!”

Riiiight. Here’s a good question: how come neither of you ever said this when you were together?

She’s super animated in the video though:

Who are you trying to convince Ashanti: us or you?

Nelly hit up the Loni Swain’s show last week sharing thoughts on why so many black women are single and he sure did have a lot to say but apparently he wasn’t finished. When asked about his relationship with Ashanti… Nelly replied with a “Who Said We Were A Couple, We Never Said That!” Continue »

Ashanti was in New York representing and honoring her first love. Since Nelly is out of the picture, it’s only right that she gets back to the basics.

We can’t even lie, Ashanti looked the part and more next to Nelly at his 3rd annual Black and White Ball. Hopefully, she can keep up the good work because there are a bunch of chicks just waiting to pounce on that stud if she ever slips up.

After Nelly reportedly dumped Ashanti for creepin’ with Irv Gotti “again” and Bossip spies spotted Nelly flirting and looking very single at R. Kelly’s album release party and Jermaine’ Dupri’s cafe in Atlanta over the weekend, Ashanti has now taken Nelly off her Myspace. Irv is at the top!

The low-rent Joe Camel and Beyonce are over. Summer is heating up and you can probably expect some Nelly disses on Murder Inc’s new material.

Is Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship going down the crapper?? Despite Wendy Williams saying that it’s rock solid, there’s still rumors floating. If the break-up is true, it’s a shame because even though they both annoy me to high hell, I still think they make a cute couple.

Vibe Magazine is reporting they are hearing Ashanti and Nelly got engaged over Christmas and are waiting for “confirmation” from their reps later today. One of the more authentic, “down to earth”, and good looking couples out there.
