Singer Ashanti stopped by former The View co-host Meredith Vieira’s talk show where the two ladies proceeded to talk about relationship and trust.
Ashanti shared [an obscure and vague peep] into what one can assume was the demise of the unclaimed, full-on relationship that neither she, [and especially Nelly] never officially confirmed.
“I think sometimes when people have their own insecurities, it allows them to act out of character. I’m not really a big fan of people being cowards and …you just have to know what you want and get it,” said Ashanti.
Despite the fact that Nelly or Ashanti never officially went on record as “a couple” for ten whole years, Ashanti wearing Nelly’s chain + pics of the pair together (as a couple) were the only notes to toll their reality and serve as proof of a relationship [being so], regardless.
The two were linked on again, off-again since 2003 after they met at a pre-Grammy party but according to our friends a People, in 2008 Nelly did state: “I think it’s always serious. When you can hang with a person continuously … and still have fun.”
*confused face*
…well (as obscure and vague a statement as that was) that was as close to proof of relationship as we’d ever gotten out of Nelly and even since then, we made due with more pics of the pair as the only confirmation needed.
(For now, I’ll let yous read and rock with this tidbit, and I’m going to bookmark this subject/type of thing as one to discuss for OSF’s relationship/sex category for later).
Back to the write up for now:
At any rate.
Finally, (after all these years and rumors of cheating on both sides) Ashanti [lead on to what caused the breakup?] when sitting with Meredith-offering her the tidbit (of info) and too, stating: “I’ve (not: I’d/I had) been betrayed” …while sitting with Meredith and expressing she was currently “in a different place right now.”
Although the pair officially split in 2012 they still, respectively, work in the same field which obviously means they may bump into one another (occasionally) like in this 2013 interview by Ashanti who (around 3:41 minute of the interview-whether written in or off record) asked her ex about what he looks for in a girl:
Fast forward.
The singer-actress has appeared on episodes of Army Wives and other shows. As well, scheduled for a later release this year, she will also appear in a movie called: Stuck.
