Nelly & Ashanti's Reality Show Is Going Viral For The Wrong Reasons
HuffPost
One particular comment from Nelly infuriated the internet.
For the most part, “Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together” is one of the most entertaining PSAs for circling the block that I’ve ever seen.
The couple famously dated on and off throughout the 2000s, and then rumors started swirling that they broke up in 2013. (Ashanti confirmed their split in 2015.) They appeared to rekindle their relationship in April 2023 after being spotted holding hands at a boxing match in Las Vegas.
In the series premiere, “Breakup 2 Makeup,” the couple jumps right into where their lives stand now: married, united, with a new baby and enjoying each other’s company.
It’s not surprising that “Nelly & Ashanti” is already charting high on Peacock, where it premiered last Thursday. It’s generating a lot of internet chatter for two very different reasons: how much the couple cackles with each other, as noted by People, and how upset people have been about Nelly’s comments about parenting.
On the show, Nelly complains — jokingly yet repeatedly — that “nobody cares about dad” and that he’s in“second place” since the new baby arrived in July of last year. Many people across social media have also taken issue with Nelly’s declaration that he is not changing diapers.
