Nelly’s Black White Ball, a charitable gala supporting Make-A-Wish Missouri and other causes, recently made headlines not just for its philanthropy but for sparking pregnancy rumors surrounding the hip-hop artist and his girlfriend, Ashanti. The event, which marked Nelly’s return to his hometown of St. Louis after seven years, became a focal point of speculation after a video surfaced showing the couple onstage engaging in a moment that suggested a significant development.
In the clip, Nelly and Ashanti, who confirmed their relationship a few months ago, were seen rubbing Ashanti’s stomach while sharing a laugh. The context of the interaction included an emcee encouraging the celebrity couple to “seal the deal,” further fueling online speculation that Ashanti might be pregnant with Nelly’s child. Social media erupted with comments, with one observer boldly stating, “Nelly done knocked up Ashanti”.
The video led to various interpretations, with some expressing excitement at the prospect of the couple expecting a child. While many speculated about a potential pregnancy, others questioned whether Nelly and Ashanti might be playfully trolling their audience. The ambiguity surrounding the situation added to the buzz, leaving fans to wonder about the couple’s future plans.
This isn’t the first time Nelly, Ashanti, and the possibility of starting a family have made headlines. In a video posted last month on Instagram, Nelly showcased a new car gifted to him by Ashanti for his birthday. In the comments section, a fan humorously suggested, “Get her pregnant @nelly TONIGHT!!” to which Nelly playfully responded, “I’m on it” accompanied by a salute emoji.
While the couple has yet to officially confirm or deny the pregnancy rumors, their playful interactions and public displays of affection continue to keep fans guessing about the next chapter in Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship. As the speculation swirls, the Black White Ball gala remains a memorable event not only for its charitable contributions but for igniting conversations about the couple’s potential family expansion.
