Ashanti and rapper Nelly welcomed their first child together on July 18, naming the infant Kareem Kenkaide Haynes.
“His dad named him with a lot of pride,” revealed the “Happy” singer. “We were going back and forth for a long time on his name and he was very adamant. He was like, ‘This is what I want, I love this.’”
She continued to detail, “I thought it was just so amazing and so thoughtful and so sweet because Kenkaide is my dad’s name and obviously my dad has only girls, so Nelly was just like, ‘I think that would be really dope.’ This was all his idea.”
The two lovers reconnected in 2023 following their initial breakup in 2013 after dating for a decade. The rekindled romance has led to the bouncing baby boy and marriage for the two musicians.
