Nelly’s Behind the Music airs tonight on VH1, and here’s another sneak peek from the episode. Singer Ashanti and Nelly have been linked for years, but never confirmed a relationship beyond friendship. Here is Ashanti’s rundown on how the two met in 2003 at a Grammy Awards press conference:
“The first time I met Nelly he asked me for my autograph, but I think he was being sarcastic and I remember writing it down on the program. That picture has been in so many publications as something else but it all started out as a joke. For the record, it took him a long time to get my number.”
Below, see another clip from the show where Nelly talks about fearing his father and constantly moving when he was younger. Make sure to watch the full episode of his Behind the Music tonight on VH1 at 10PM ET.
After years of dancing around the subject, Nelly will talk about his relationship with Ashanti on an upcoming episode of VH1’s “Behind The Music” scheduled to air next month. The two have been rumored to be together for several years but maintained that they were just friends.
Nelly is also expected to talk about his declining record sales, the death of his sister Jackie from leukemia, his upbringing and his rise to fame. The episode is scheduled to air on March 7th.
Nelly and Ashanti are still denying that they’re a couple, but these pictures taken on New Year’s Eve prove otherwise. The two were spotted showing a lot of PDA at Haze nightclub in Vegas where Nelly was performing.
Cute.
