I'm so happy Nelly and Ashanti are back together. Beautiful couple

Just a Dream is a very beautiful song. This song keeps coming back to me after the first time I heard it. To me, it shows that it cuts both way in a relationship where it shows that one partner took the other for granted or gave less love to the other, and the relationship falls apart.

Ashanti was lready Nellys wife. He just had to come back and find her. Good thing she was still available, and good thing he was still searching for her❤❤❤❤❤

Meh...I think that an excuse that sounds good at first until you really think about it. It doesn't take several years for you to know if you can spend the rest of your life with someone, it just doesn't!. Sounds like he's content with Ashanti but doesn't really see himself marrying her. Keep it real Nelly!!

Marriage is a risk. It will always be. Doesn’t require a million years to find someone good enough to take that risk with. It’s tough, it’s work, sometimes it doesn’t work out. But that’s life innit.

As much as people may want him to admit they are together I absolutely understand and respect where he is coming from.

MARRY ME NELLY! It was so mature the way he talked about marriage. Really hard to find a guy that thinks that way.

Men we just have to do better!!!!!! NO MORE EXCUSES...!

so much respect for him right here

Totally respect Nelly right here. He respects what being married means and I'm happy to see some famous couple isn't jumping the gun on it for fame. Way to go for them two! Hope we see more of them in the future and that they do get married cuz they're so cute together.

- Ashanti's a big girl and she's quite capable of making a conscious decision to stay or leave, Nelly's not holding a gun to her head and we don't what's REALLY being said behind closed doors. - They may be in a monogamous, committed relationship and just DON'T want "us" and the media in their business (VERY SMART) and perhaps is the reason why they are still "friends" till this day.

Right now I notice alot of people get Married just for Social Media and Society. And you wonder why there are so many failed marriages . Sometimes Growth is what some people need in order for them to know what they will accept in a relationship going forward

friends first....i agree...take the time out to know the person inside and out........learn all the flaws and all the dislikes in a person to see if it's characteristics you can live the rest of your life sharing with that special person......we all know that love holds no boundaries and it can be blinding to the truth.....i agree all the way with what he has to say..........Bless Up Nelly & Ashanti:)

No more waiting NELLY ❤

Wonder if he's regretting his decision now in 2021?

I think I understand where he coming from... I like how he being honest about it

good explanation

wow...impressed! I like that response!

Not everybody want rush into a relationship i agree with nelly they should be friends first or take it slow and not rush into it

Well said.

Did any of you guys look at the date this was uploaded? This was in 2010, the Behind The Music episode where he finally admitted that they were a couple aired March 2011!!!

Look he calls ashanti a friend after living with her for years. Ashanti was still a single woman thought of as a bed buddy. Nelly had ashanti as in house ..... All those years as just a friend . Playing house does not get you wife up. Nelly sexy and his body tight very hot. But he not marrying no body just playing house..nelly got game and if you play house with him thats you...

"We ain't together, but we fuckin' and if it goes there, it goes there." No commitments, just FWB!!!

For real!! They've been on and off since i was like in middle school.. I'm in college now! LOL.. he's wasting her time!

after all of these years he is not going to marry her. She don't have any children and she claims she want six, hello, a woman's clock don't tick forever.find someone else Ashanti

OMFG! They've been on & off for the longesttttttttttttttt! He will never commit. I bet he strings her along. She should give him an ultimatum! They are a hot couple but seriously, time is moving!! Does she really want to stay at a stand still with this man forever?? Doesn't she want kids? I know you don't have to get married to have kids but seriously, doesn't she want a family?? Nelly already has kids and is just stringing beautiful Ashanti on!! He's taken up her hottest, youthful years LOL

I'm sure they weren't just "friends" for all of these years. Come on now. I know that has to be a slap in the face to give someone a lot of your time like that to only be referred to as just a friend. They are not Bey and Jay, so it's not that serious to deny their relationship! lol

i feel him, shit..that's how i feel. i think allot of people are like that- they see their parents or someone influencial in their life break up. and we dont want to do the same- we don't want to be married more than once- we want to work through the hard times not like our parents but more like how our grandparednts did it,,, our grandparents hung in their!!

i understand about people pressuring you into marriage. i hate people that put there 2 cents into relationships saying what they should or shouldnt do. BUT the way he's saying "we're just friends" is another way of him saying " we mess with each other and we're in a relationship..... but its not nothing serious". thats what i got from the interview.

Nelly still on the lookout. He needs to be honest.

That's right friends first

Honestly if you all were Nelly and Ashanti’s fans you would know it was Ashanti who didn’t want the world to know they were dating. She wasn’t ready because of seeing rappers in studios being serial cheaters

@berniceturner3596

It was because of death threats towards her and nelly by the record company she was with.

He doesn't have to rush thats the problem in most relationships. People move too quickly w/o really establishing a foundation or solid History and friendship. I respect him and her for knowing where they stand. He is all about marriage and doing it only once. Good perspective! At least he isn't entering it saying..If it doesnt work out we can always get a divorce.I would take that any day over going to the alter under pressure. Best of luck to them both in all their endeavors!

Everyone happy for Ashanti and Nelly please ignore Jackson no comments

@onyxsta they BOTH agreed to take that stance publicly. its not like she is saying they are together and he is saying they're friends.

so I love it how he said they were together on Behind the Music, now they are just friends lol just do what Bey and Jay do and keep it moving

They are still together. She is in St. Louis quite often and he is with her in New York. They are also with each other in other places. Just because you don't see a picture of them together does not mean they are not together.

@sayleon1 U ARE SO RIGHT IN EVERY THING U JUST SAID PERIOD AND I LOVE IT.

Nelly is just like every other blk guy that is scared of commitment. It does not take 7 yrs to figure out if u wanna marry someone. Neither one of them r consistent with their music. Did they ever stop and think maybe they r better TOGETHER than apart. I dont blame Ashanti for moving on. Nelly is gonna look up one day and be 50,irrelevant, and alone...#getyolife

i completely understand. he's probably seen a lot of his friends break up because of media pressure this way there's no pressure on them and it's just her and him. sweet that he takes the idea of marriage seriously. some celebs think marriage is a joke an think p;st if t doesn't work in 3 months we'll get divorced

@sayleon1 bull. he is a superstar, u think if he wanted something "better" he wouldn't have gone and gotten it already. understand his perspective, he doesn;t want them to get ahead of themselves. right now their relationship is working just fine & until both can come to a place where they feel ready for next level, then they will continue to take it day by day. and clearly she is defining their relationship as really good "friends" as well. they BOTH agreed to take that stance publicly.

they've clearly been together since 2004 till like 2011....then they broke up and got back together. There were pictures of them together 2weeks ago in St Louis.... and a few more pictures a couple of weeks before that in NYC.

Takes notes ladies a man that calls you his friend behind your back has no intention of marrying you .

Lindooooo 😍😍😍😍😘😏 canta muiiiiito

Ok, I get the "really" good friends thing, but dang.......you've been "dating" her for a while now, furthermore, U don't SLEEP with UR "really" good friends......at least I don't, yes U should be FRIENDS AND LOVERS, but skirting around the question and ending with "we enjoy each other's company" sounds 2 casual. Where's the loyalty??

@MsLK87 They've been friends for 9 years now. If they got married now, it wouldn't be like they just run off to get married and they didn't know each other. So I don't get his excuse.

I wish them the best

@HearNSee1 I totally agree with u!!

this is why nelly is the man, hes 100% real

I LOVE HIM AND DEF, THINK MARRIAGE IS SERIOUS AND CAN BE WAITED ON! AND I SAID THE SAME THING I DONT WANT TO BE MARRIED MORE THEN ONCE SO WITH THAT BEING SAID KEEP YO HEAD ON NELLY U GOT THE IDEA AND SMARTS TO LIVE HOW U WANT 2

7 years past they fall under common law.

How long is this interview ago???I think he´s doing the right thing....just because they aren´t married doesn´t mean they don´t love, care or appreciate each other.....

Friends First is BEST!!!

Well they complete each other he is a scorpio n she is a libra

The best relationships in the world are based first in friendship do what your heart tells you,u know what u really want, not what the world says is right, the world won't live n that relationship or that house

This nigga edge up always on point!

sunglasses inside is the new shiiiit.....hahah omg

To be honest Jay and Beyonce didnt claim to be boyfriend & girlfriend either initially. It took a few years for them to openly discuss their relationship with the public. I think Nelly and Ashanti both agree to what they have now. It's not our place to rush them into marriage just because we think they should. If they feel comfortable being friends and enjoying each other's company as friends then let them.
