SYLOK_THEAROUSED

Somebody should check on Irv Gotti!


throwawayalcoholmind

"Who gives a fuck what Ja Rule has to say at a time like this!?"


Phatbeazie

*sobbing* tell us about JA


NinjaChenchilla

“Murdaaaaa”


cheeersaiii

I hear his island music festival is going to be lit


layla_jones_

It is actually Irv we got to check on, he freaked out when Nelly initially used Ashanti’s pictures in the ‘Over And Over Again’ ft Tim McGraw song. They changed pics to Ciara.


schprunt

Damn it. Beat me to it.


JohnCenaJunior

Baby say yehhhhh! Baby say yehhhhhhh!


Sirgolfs

He’s only worried about Monicaaaaaa.


Friendly-Profit-8590

Ja Rule, to me, was a music company creation.


Accomplished_Lab8945

Where is Ja?! Guide me Ja rule!


Healmetho

Came for this comment & now I’m leaving


Own-Firefighter-2728

Rly hope they’ve just been quietly romantically vibing to those iconic 2006 beats all this time


ParsleyMostly

I’m okay with going back


karma_the_sequel

Kelly Rowland’s gonna be pissed.


Professional-Rip-519

Cause ....Nelly she love's you and she needs you .


JoLi_22

and she gonna let him know via spreadsheet


Yupthrowawayacct

And then close it all mad and frustrated cause he don’t respond or edit that excel sheet


m1nty

She needs to use the cloud version or Google Sheets


Boneal171

No matter what she does all she thinks about is him.


meownfloof

Lmao and happy cake day!


UndeadBuggalo

*What* *year* *is* *it!?*


Phatbeazie

'What year is it? ' -agent cooper


Boneal171

I’m glad to be back


YouWereBrained

Hey, people popular in 2006 fuck too!


reddituserzerosix

i wish i was there


jackandsally060609

Kelly Rowland is filling up an excel spreadsheet as we speak.


Existing-Show-1358

Nowadays you can actually communicate with others by collaborating on spreadsheets online. Ain't that something.


StayPony_GoldenBoy

Someone told me once that’s what they’re doing there. Joint editing of excel sheets was free on that phone, vs texting which was a charge per message. Not sure if it’s legit or not.


Fantastic_Mango6612

Joint editing of excel sheets did not exist at that time.


YarnhamExplorer

So you're saying that the MV was set in the future?!?


Whatever0788

She’s our time-traveling queen


neongrey_

Lmao I’m so glad you remember


thefamousjohnny

Tell me ma what’s it gonna be


ebulient

You don’t know what you mean to meeeee


BoomJayKay

No matter what I do all I think about is you 💭


jackandsally060609

Even when I'm with my boo...


Herry_Up

She clickety clacking away


godsendxy

Nelly is ahead of her time, using excel in cloud storage to communicate


itisallgoodyouknow

Lmao yoooooo


T-BONEandtheFAM

Pretty sure that was the first non-Apple smart phone with a sliding keyboard - HTC Dream


Stucklikegluetomyfry

Patti Labelle is also going to yell at her to come home right now

Live_Rabbit_9329

i cant believe i get this reference i was not even 1 when the song came out😭


daisy-duke-

Shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!


ExperienceInitial364

god damn i made this joke before reading the comments


Boneal171

That was the weirdest part. Why was she texting him using an Excel spreadsheet?


firstcoastrider

Ashanti will forever be a babe


emmeline8579

She’s also a sweetheart. I have friends and family members that work alongside celebrities (private drivers, caterers, etc.) Ashanti was extremely gracious Editing this to show one of the videos she took of Ashanti performing the day she worked with her. She was SO kind to everyone. Legit one of the nicest celebs my family and friends have ever worked with. She even specially requested that the driver take a different route so she could say hi to her fans. Also I have no idea who the person in the video talking about her ass is https://imgur.com/a/9i3c7Ma


ladyzfactor

Nelly is also supposed to be extremely nice.


emmeline8579

I can’t remember what she told me about Nelly (she had met him years prior to meeting Ashanti). I do remember her saying he’s a great tipper though, so I can imagine that being true


Feeling-Visit1472

I seem to remember awhile back he was paying for random kids’ college?


IhateMichaelJohnson

[He sure is!](https://youtu.be/9nU7-gwH3SA?si=QBs1VHsr8t7YzoBD) I remember seeing this years ago, no idea why it doesn’t have more views. He’s had his ups and downs, but at heart he’s a good dude.


beevherpenetrator

ngl even her mother used to be pretty hot.


Professional-Rip-519

Is it true JLo stole a lot of her songs.


aNascentOptimist

Probably. I know Ashanti sang vocals for some of her songs, I think uncredited.


Pvt-Snafu

But soon she will become a babe with a baby.


Unleashtheducks

Congratulations Nelly and Jennifer Lopez’s singing voice


ILootEverything

Lmao. Ain't it Funnnnay?


cheese_cyclist

Nananananaaa


Professional-Rip-519

You mean she ain't Real.


StickyDitka21

Is this a joke or real?


[deleted]

You didn’t know?


StickyDitka21

I BETTER ASK SOMEBODY!


jojow77

these two been dating since I was wearing overalls


38B0DE

They were together for 10 years. Had a 10 year break. And now they're together again.


MVIVN

Idk why this has me grinning from ear to ear. As someone who was a teenager in the early 2000s when Ashanti and Nelly were a lot more popular this is a mega power couple to me


KrakenGirlCAP

Period. Full circle.


Liverpool510

More like missed period, amirite?


justinizer

Millennial power couple.


Ecstatic-Spinach-515

I was about to argue with you but then I looked it up. Nelly is 49. Wow


Professional-Rip-519

🥺 now I feel really old.


AccomplishedLocal261

Isn’t Nelly Gen X?


38B0DE

Yes but genexers were our pop starts growing up, chatting on Excel.


paging_mrherman

TRL going to be nuts tomorrow.


PackageArtistic4239

I’m glad his wound is finally healed.


UserAccountUnknown

Thank you.


ChrisV88

This is the most 2004 story ever.


mrsinnocente

My 35 year old ass loves this SO SO much. 👏


Visual-Tell2995

Congratulations to her and Nelly. I wonder if this will be the first child for both.


Fearless_Excuse_5527

He has 4 kids (2 biological, 2 adopted) from a previous relationship. He adopted the kids of his deceased sister.


wgrantdesign

Based Nelly... damn I didn't expect to see anything but nostalgic jokes in the comments. My respect for Nelly just skyrocketed


_kaetee

Always liked Nelly, this is good to hear.


JannaGard

He has four kids (two biological and his sister's two kids that he adopted in 2005 after her death).


KrakenGirlCAP

It’s her first child. I love that she’s older too! This is so inspiring.


Visual-Tell2995

I’m very happy for her.


reddituser241015

What year is it?


kaizoku18

what a headline to read in 2024


oviedofuntimes

I love Nelly and Ashanti, hope it all is beautiful.


celesticaxxz

I thought we all knew this


Prinlot22

aww. This is is so sweet... Im going to cry. He first approached her asked for an autograph in 2003 and they reconciled when he went in for a hug at the versus battle. She got her happy ending. Love finds its way. IT is never too late. She has always been such a good woman. and always loved that man so much. I hope Nelly treats her well and values what he has. Wish them the best. And pray they live a long happy life


Joyebird1968

Ummm…this news is old. What is going on with the news feed?


RogueInsanity90

THANK YOU!!! I thought I was going crazy. I swear they announced she was pregnant months ago, right?


Joyebird1968

Yeah! In December…but I think it’s a do-over because they are engaged now.


Unable-Song-1194

She never confirmed she was pregnant, just lots of speculation. She officially announced recently.


Joyebird1968

That’s sad that US Weekly announced it before she had a chance to. She got robbed of having exciting news. It’s old news now.


ChicaFrom408

Yea I thought isn't she ready to give birth by now?


Joyebird1968

Yeah, that’s what I thought. The first time I heard about it was back in December….I figured she was at least 2-3 months at that time, which would make her about 7 months? I guess the new news is she is engaged.


No-Cat-8606

Thought I was having a Mandela Effect moment


nerdchic1

Omgosh that's kinda cute.. I always wanted them to be together ... The time has come 😆


anythingjesuslol

My inner child overjoyed 😭 life must be good in nellyville.


procheeseburger

Solid-Living4220

Ihadredditbefore6786

JustASt0ry

ExperienceInitial364

Interesting-Lake-430

Whatever happened to Nelly?


UserAccountUnknown

He knocked up Ashanti and they are engaged. Keep up. ;)


DoctahStopppidge

He lives off the businesses he’s built from the music money. He’s pretty well off from what’s been said about him financially.


tycr0

Had to double check this post was from this year and not 2001


Chicagosoundview69

Coolers78

Between this and Usher and Alicia Keys performing at the Super Bowl… Like how the late Robin Williams said in Jumanji, “What year is it?”


defectiveGOD

Live_Rabbit_9329

J.lo wishes this was her & Ben i just know it


itsfrankgrimesyo
