Singer Ashanti and her long-time collaborator and partner, Nelly, appeared happier than ever at Ashanti's extravagant, gold-themed 50th birthday celebration at Tao in Las Vegas. The event was filled with family, friends, and even a surprise appearance by comedian Kevin Hart.
At the celebration, Nelly joked with Entertainment Tonight that turning 50 felt just like 49, adding that it’s been “great.” He expressed admiration for Ashanti, who called him her “soulmate” and shared how much he means to her. “It’s priceless, honestly, just to have my soulmate, my person, my best friend, my protector,” Ashanti said, adding that “the universe doesn’t make mistakes.” She also reflected on how their relationship has taught her to embrace gratitude, grace, and patience.
Nelly added his own appreciation, highlighting Ashanti’s kindness and caring nature. “She’s a great person, she’s a great mother. So, to have that person with you, it’s like, ‘yeah, that’s it,’” said the “Hot In Herre” rapper.
The couple, who confirmed last September that they had rekindled their relationship after nearly a decade apart, quietly married three months later. They welcomed their first child together, a son named Kareem, in July.
As the interview continued, Nelly humorously spoke about the new challenges of fatherhood, particularly with diaper changes. “He’s a boy, and you know, I’ve had boys, but you’re changing them. You have to duck, and I’ve been peed on so much,” he laughed, adding that Ashanti treats their son “like a Build-A-Bear.”
The celebration marked a heartwarming milestone for the couple, who have embraced a new chapter filled with love, laughter, and family.
