St. Louis rapper Nelly recently spilled the beans on his personal life during an intimate interviwer with Paris Nicole on 92.1 radio in Richmond, VA. Nelly explained why he kept his long-term relationship with R&B songbird Ashanti more privatized compared to his current situation with boxing champ Floyd Mayweather’s ex-girlfriend, Shantell Jackson. He also dishes on what made him want to do reality TV, Real Husbands of Hollywood, his upcoming show Nellyville, the destruction in Ferguson and addresses the rumors that he has multiple baby mamas. Get the deets below!
On why he was private about Ashanti relationship but is public with Shantel Jackson:
You know what? I think that’s something that everybody just threw on Nelly and that wasn’t the case. Obviously, we had an agreement [to keep things private] it wasn’t just my case to just keep that private like that. But I think, in this situation, it’s kind of hard to show everything that’s been going on [with me] without showing that side of it too. Shantel’s a sweet person and you get a chance to see what’s going on with her as well in terms of our relationship getting a chance to grow.
On why he waited to do a reality show & rumors about him having multiple babymamas:
One of the things that made me wait so long was that making sure that my kids had a chance to be older so they can deal with this situation as much as possible and I think [now] is a good time.
It’s, obviously, my 2 children with their mother and then my niece and nephew, who were my sister’s 2 kids when she passed and I took her 2. And it’s just one child’s mother [laughs]. You know, people hear 2 kids and they automatically think [more than one babymama]. But nah, I have one children’s mother.
