Nelly had some words for someone who criticized his marriage to Ashanti.
The three-time Grammy winner, who's expecting expecting a child with Ashanti, held an Instagram Live session on Wednesday night when someone issued a shady comment while he was livestreaming.
"She say, ‘He drunk as usual. It’s bedtime, poor Ashanti. He ghetto, coming on Live doing this. Shame on you,’” Nelly said while reading the person’s comment.
“Coming on Live doing what?” the rapper laughed. “I can’t play music? Let me tell you something, shawty: She’s straight. And she encourages my happiness. That’s why we’re together–I encourage her. So whatever makes me happy, she kick in. Whatever makes her happy, I kick in. So know that.”
He concluded, "So you ain’t gotta ‘poor her,’ it might be, ‘poor you.’ Get your shit together.”
It's doubtful that the commenter heard Ashanti's recent interview on Entertainment Tonight, where the R&B singer shared that she and Nelly have reached a point of maturity that they previously didn't have while dating on-and-off from the early 2000s to the mid 2010s.
"We are both at a place where like before, sometimes we would argue and walk out, slam the door, and not talk for a few days," she told ET around the 2:30-minute mark of the video above. "Now it's kind of like, 'All right, you good?' You know, give me a kiss goodbye and it's over...It's not like holding on and bickering and we find out what the resolution is."
