: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of a developing story. Word coming out of Atlanta is that last night rapper Nelly and his girlfriend Ashanti told people that they're expecting a child together.
According to a EXTREMELY RELIABLE industry insider, Nelly and Ashanti were in Atlanta yesterday filming a music video together with rapper Plies. And word is that late last night (after filming ended) the hip hop couple held a "secret meeting" where they announced the pregnancy.
Unfortunately, our insider wasn't there to hear the words directly from Nelly's mouth - so for now we're chalking this one up as a rumor. But our insider spoke to someone who reportedly heard the news directly from Nelly.
Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this. MediaTakeOut.com had a few other snitches who were around the set yesterday. And they should be checking in later today, so check back for updates.
Members of the press ARE REQUIRED to credit MediaTakeOut.com for its original reporting
texasglamour you are right, hollywood doesn't believe in that any more. Sometimes I feel like its a fashion statement for a woman to be unwed and pregant. Look at Brad and Angelina, all of those kids and they haven't yet to marry. And the media just go wild when they announce a single celebrity is pregnant.
For one, doubt this is true.....Another thing people on here talking about Ashanti Career as if she is dead broke or something! Baby girl got $$$! Movies,clothing line, perfume line,etc....Trust Ashanti ain't even worried about yal haters talking [EXPLETIVE] about her! Plus she with Dirtty so that baby go be well tooken care of. BTW Ashanti won't get fat because her momma makes sure she always fresh when she hit the scene so haterz please fallback
Lol..MTO..who are these "reliable" sources y'all swear y'all have???..as much as yall try to put folks on BLAST, why would any body tell y'all anything? I don't believe it anyway..
But in the event that she IS, It'll be a pretty baby although both of his.her parents are officially has-beens!! Then again, i'm not sure either of them were THAT famous to begin with..oh well
"Unfortunately, our insider wasn't there to hear the words directly from Nelly's mouth"
SMH If it's one thing I can't stand, it's the he say she say bull$hit. I hope she is expecting though. They need to get married and start a family cause their music career is DEAD. I don't think it could be revived.
A picture says a thousand words. Does he have a new album coming out? Maybe he's stalling on making a 'comittmment' and she's feelin a little threatened? Perfect time for a 'oops' prenancy? Did they plan it together? (crossing fingers?)
*NEWSFLASH* If a man does not want to commit, getting pregnant is not going to make him change his mind.
And we wonder why there are so many single mothers...maybe he's just not that into you(??).
Anyway, this may not even be true, and hopefully there won't be a break-up in the near future if is.
Ashanti seems like she balances the sexy/sweet thang pretty good. I hope Nelly doesnt do anything to take that smile away and they build something solid together. Keep hope alive for black live. LOL..?..?. sigh..
I can't find it again, but WHOEVER was the idiot who said Ashanti needs to quit following Nelly to his videos, and get a damn job.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! She is filming a video with HER name attached to it, not Nelly's!
She is currently filming the video to Plies' 2nd single of his album Da REAList, called "Want It, Need It." IT'S A GREAT SONG, so go check it out!

Boosie (or whatever the hell your name is), your comments are always so negative and irrelevant. WHO THE HELL cares if she wants to laugh after things she says. Just cuz you don't look half as good as her. Get a life!
If this is true then congrats I like Nelly can do with out Ashanti and they are a cute couple
but what the [EXPLETIVE] is up with yall haters bringing bey and jay into this yall stay complaining bout them being on mto everyday and they not even apart of this story and here yall go HATING we dont know what jay and bey baby gonna look like so just leave that alone DAMN.. pretty people dont always make pretty kids
example Willow Smith not cute hopefully she will grow into her looks dont get mad im just saying
MTO, you are always reporting these faux pregnancies, but overlook the CONFIRMED ones. If my eyes are not mistaking, you FORGOT to mention that Jill Scott was 6 months pregnant. Was it an oversight, MTO? If I missed it, please accept my apologies. I guess you finally gave up on the Mariah/Nick pregnancy, huh?
She should have thrown marriage at him to see where he stood. He already walked away from 2 kids...yeah ok he takes care of them financially,money does not a father make,alot of fathers can say they go 110%...but a real Daddy?...IS IN THE HOUSE!...who's to say he won't do the same thing to her?...becoz she's Ashanti?...please. Major screw-up!...The ultimate question is...was this pregnancy planned?....becoz THAT will eventually be the deciding factor as to whether or not he stays...or walks....again...#3!....
I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but it's not okay for celebrities to have babies out of wedlock, no more than it's acceptable for common people to have children out of wedlock. I don't think having a certain amount of money and because you're famous, should dictate whether it's okay to have a child. That's what's wrong with society today, were clone to aceept any and everything, with this "it's okay attitude". Well, it's not okay. When are our men going to take responsibility and marry these girls? Better yet, when are we as women, going to get it through our heads, to stop laying down with these men, with the hope that he one day will marry you. Instead of becoming yet another statistic, bringing yet another bastard child in the world without being married, put a ring on it as they say!. Shanti and Nelly should know by now, if you're not using protection, what you think is going to happen! I can guarantee you, Shanti will be raising that kid by herself. Just a thought!
@LOVESLOTS--YEAH IT'S BAD WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE BLACK NUCLEAR FAMILY, BUT I DON'T LET THIS MESS DISTURB MY SPIRIT ANYMORE, AND NEITHER SHOUD YOU. IT'S NEVER GONNA CHANGE. BASTARDS HAVE BEEN BORN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND THEY'LL BE HERE IN THE END. ALL INDIVIDUALS CAN DO IS TRY TO KEEP THE CANCER OUT OF THEIR OWN HOMES. BUT I'M CERTAINLY NOT GONNA CRY OVER UNWED MOTHERS AND BASTARDS BEING BORN...
Well many people don't believe in marriage, like myself, and it's ok to have a child without marriage, as long as their both in the child's life, that's all that matters. I also don't believe in being with one person for the rest of my life, that's suicidal for me , I cannot do that. I like to learn and get to know different people, I believe we are conditioned to believe that being married is how it should be when in reality were here on this earth to build bonds and have relationships with different people, I guess I'm saying this because I've never really loved anyone and to be honest I really don't know what love is! I always thought that Love was an unconditional thing but I never experienced unconditional love from the opposite person whom I've been with , not even my parents gave me that....I don't know, after my last relationship I've been celibate for 2 years and 5 months now. It's really nothing to me I really don't like sex at all, that's just me! But hey it's only my belief so please don't take it personal!
TIMEWILLTELL THE WAY YOU FEEL, DO YOU THINK IT STEMMED FROM YOUR PARENTS NOT GIVING YOU LOVE? ITS FUNNY, I AM SO AFFECTIONATE WITH MY SON, AND HE SOMETIMES OUT OF THE BLUE KISSES ME ON THE CHEEK AND TELLS ME HE LOVES ME, EVEN WHEN I'M SICK, OR IF MY HAIR IS STICKING UP IN THE TOP OF MY HEAD AND I LOOK A MESS, HE DON'T CARE. I THINK HE'S GOING TO BE LIKE THAT WITH WHATEVER WOMAN HE ENDS UP WITH
well, its not like either one of them are hot commodities anymore but MTO ya'll be lying! Let yall tell it, somebody's always preggos!
If yall like erotic novels then yall should check out this new writer name Envy! She's the [EXPLETIVE] and 'Sexual Eruption' is available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com!
I agree that he should've married her first but shyit happens!!anywayz,I'm not surprised all the fukkin them 2 been doin! I'm not gonna sit here n front LIKE SOME OF U!! I'd B givin his sexy ass the buisness 2!,long as he man up and take care of his responsabilities.If he eventually marries her cool,but some people could get along much better as parents than husband an wife.I don't want mo man 2 think that we have 2 get married cause we have a child even if it was the right thing 2 do!If a person is not mature enough 2 handle a marrage I'm not about 2 jump into it cause it's the right thing 2 do.**CASE 4 INSTINCE**-my kids daddy is a hoe! straight hoe,he got super hoeish after our second daughter was born and das like me marrying him and his hoe- ass qualities knowing ahead of time that he is hoing around.I'd rather do the wrong thing(in this case)than be sitting behind bars for murder, cause it was the right thing 2 do!but DAS JUST ME!!!
Oh please!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT KNOW ABOUT HER HAVING THAT GOOD GOOD BUT I KNOW THAT NELLY GOT THAT GOOD BETTER THAN ANY OTHER! LMAO, Sorry Shanni GO HEAD AND BE PREGNANT CAUSE HE WILL BE BANGING SOMEBODY I KNOW IN CALI FOR YOUR WHOLE 9MONTHS!!!!!! HE DIDNT EVEN MARRY U 1ST, BEYONCE SMART! BUT U.... WELL LETS JUST SAY, u took what u COULD GET!
@icandigit
I don't think it had anything to do with my mom not showing me love, I believe the way I feel steams from my experiences in life that's it, including my relationship with who ever I came in contact with, anyway from the outside looking in people may say my mom really loved me, but for me I didn't feel it, I guess I expected a lot from her, I believe Love should be unconditional regardless of what goes on, My mom always favored my brothers and would let them talk to me any kind of way, she would do anything for them.......my mom loved her sons to death, but she didn't treat me the same way, I felt outcasted, but it's funny cause now none of my brothers are doing anything with their life , one live with her and he's 28 years old, my other brother which is 36 just moved out her home. I left my mom home when I was 17 ..I moved to California and started a life here, I'm 26 now , she's always calling me wanting things, but yet she has her sons in Texas and they do nothing for her .....I feel sorry for her and I can't help but to help her out but then again I get upset because of the things that was done to me that she let happen. I have a genuine heart and I guess that's why she calls me, because she knows I would help her out. Anyway I truly believe in Karma and this is theirs.
@NYGiantsFAN
and anyone can get married, who cares! You think just because someone marries you, that they don't cheat? You think just because you get married means they actually love you? Several reasons why people get married, and for the wrong reasons at that. Marriage is not respected anymore people do what they want anyway, especially the people in the industry, industry marriages don't last because their fake, just like beyonce alleged marriage, Jay don't want that trick, why would he want her when he can have better.

@idontlikeblackpeople, your post is idiotic. It's heavy commitment in having a kid to raise, ALONE, for the next 18 years without the benefit of a stable partner in a committed marriage. But it's totally overrated to be married? Your logic is jacked up. And no one is saying to marry any dusty azz fool off the street. D@mm.
@mcll205: THANK YOU!!! This concept is lost on most.
@ Up2it
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I don't understand why it's so hard for black women to get it through their thick skulls! But I guess ignorance is bliss while he's on top of you, but they don't realize the little "gifts" he can leave you, like an STD, a child, a death sentence via HIV/AIDS.
What frustrates me so much is why these celebs like Nelly, Diddy, and others sit up here and get on TV, talking about "rap it up" or using protection, when they clearly aren't b/c they keep impregnating women like it's no big deal. I'm just waiting for one of the celebs to get infected. I'm definitely NOT hoping that they get infected (I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy), but with the way that they're going, I'll be waiting.
I wonder if it is a rumor, was this picture taken at the secret meeting? if sooooo she looks more excited he looks disapointed. this pic is telling me that she is happy now that she has the golden ticket so now she doesn't have to put out anymore of those no hitter records, he looks like he is saying i -ucked up now.
@IdontlikeBlackpeople.......... HONEY Please, Nelly giving his goods out from cali to NY, believe a baby aint gonna stop him cause he has 2BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN WITH HIS BABYMAMA FROM ST. LOUIS THAT HE ADORE, POOR ASHANTI SHE JUST TRYNA TRY SOMETHING TO STAY IN THE MEDIA GAME! BUT GIRL PLS PUT A CORK IN UR MOUTH AND UR P***Y cause no one cares HUN! YOUR STARDOM IS OVA! I MEAN OVA, So go and meet ur miserable mama, cause NELLY is going to DO HIM!!!!!!!!! By the way im taking that personal because he messes with my NIECE! HA!
MAYA HAS A MESSAGE FOR MTO
WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT BIZ, I REALIZED THERE WOULD BE A LIST OF PROS & CONS. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE- PURSUING MY PASSION, TOUCHING LIVES , SEEING THE WORLD THROUGH TRAVEL & PROVIDING FOR MY FAMILY. ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE-CRITICISM, DISAPPOINTMENTS, LIES, LACK OF PRIVACY, SABOTAGE, POLITICS, CORPORATE SLAVERY, LITIGATIONS AND NEVER ENDING FALSE RUMORS. THAT'S JUST THE WAY OF THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD, ITS MEDIA, IRRELEVANT GOSSIP SITES & THOSE WHO FEEL THE NEED TO CREATE B.S. AS THEIR JOBS AND EXISTENCE DEPEND ON IT. SO TO ANSWER ALL OF THE INQUIRIES & QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LATEST RUMORS THAT HAVE BEEN CIRCULATING, NO... THERE IS NOT & NEVER WAS A "SUPER HEAD TELL ALL" BOOK OR SEX TAPE. NO, I DID NOT SHOW UP TO A CLUB IN BARBADOS IN WHICH I WAS FALSELY ADVERTISED. I WAS ONLY THERE FOR A CHARITABLE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT FOR CHILDREN. NO, I AM NOT DATING ANY ENTERTAINERS, ATHLETES, CONGRESSMEN, MARRIED MEN OR BILLIONAIRE'S SON. NO I AM NOT PREGNANT, ENGAGED OR MARRIED. THOUGH CHILDREN ARE BEAUTIFUL, I AIN'T ON THAT PAGE. AS BORING AS IT SEEMS, I AM A HAPPY, SINGLE WOMAN, ENTERING INTO ANOTHER YEAR OF CELIBACY & WORKING ON SELF. YOU WON'T FIND ME IN REHAB OR AA, YOU WON'T FIND ME IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION, YOU WON'T FIND ME IN THE TABLOIDS SHOWING MY TWAT. BUT YOU MIGHT FIND ME IN JAIL AND IN COURT FOR B*TCH SLAPPIN' THE SH*T OUT OF SOMEBODY! SO PRAY FOR YOUR GIRL & THAT THE D.C. WILL NEVER COME OUT AT THE WRONG PLACE & TIME. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.

Posting this for Know the Truth who should be saying fornication is a sin
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God”.
I don't know if we can believe this but if true, they're just another unmarried couple and another child added to Nelly's list of dependents.
You'd think that he would break the cycle of his childhood by committing and marrying one of the mothers of his children. Raising them in a solid, 2 parent home.
***Look At Maya Snappin On Them Fukk-Ass Journalists!!!*** Sometimes a ni$$a will make the SE come out my ass 2! Chile,Shake it off!!**remember we have class**enjoy ur life,B thankful 4 what God has givin u,look 2 what u can do more of 2 contribute more 2 man-kind even if results are'nt apparent at first. KEEP UR FAITH & KEEP DOING WHAT U LUV!!
First of all reading these comments so many intelligent black folks have put on here CONFIRMS to me that we as a people are doing FINE (despite the rumors) and we are starting to head in a more positive direction. Im so happy to see black women on here w/enough self-respect to have an educated opposition towards babies out of wedlock. Now if only we can start raising our standards regarding what we will tolerate from men and what we wont. This is the true beginning of the strengthening of the black family and ultimately black future. Remember ladies we set the rules and set the bar when it comes to men's actions. God bless.
Come on y'all....we're talkin' about Nelly and Ashanti here...... these two are EXTREMELY private about even being in a relationship together, (even though everyone knows that they are ), let alone announcing a pregnancy. It's just not something they would do in public.
This is garbage people, take it with a grain of salt...I won't believe it until her water breaks.
