Nelly Explains Why He's Waiting to Marry Ashanti

[tootsiepollard]

It's called friends with benefits not mad at u my brother, Nelly whts up wit Apple Bottom love the line

[GOODWOMAN1975]

she look a lot like the muppet babies

[janethqvideos]

he doesn't have to explain anything, it's his life

[animegirl5250]

yes friends first!! 

[x3Stoopid]

Sexy ass. <3

[APOTlove]

So FINE!!!!!

[Rainy5062002]

There is no way in the world that I believe Ashanti does not want to get married.

[WaterElementall]

Hes alive? ...wondered where he went off too... anyways, at least there is no ...white stick crap on his face?

[anjelheaven]

Beyonce's name always seems to find itself in every conversation even when it has absolutely NOTHING to do with her.

SKIP YO ASS ON OUTTA HERE

[jodianne1988]

you die if you leave me??? wtf? should we be worried Nelly??

[Sedecrem100]

ill marry you nelly and promise only to leave you if i die!

[cmella626]

you dying if you leave me haha

[lexlovequijano5]

he is sooooo sexyyyyy

[butterflii08]

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

[MrSamuel345]

Jay z and Beyonce remix

[taliaa1026]

This nigga edge up always on point!

[sisters2sister]

What your saying in reference to a relationship is the best advice, and; its so true. Foundation first!

[SuchaClassiChicc93]

Friends First is BEST!!!

[shebashine1]

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.

[la9777]

AMEN, YOU ARE SO RIGHT..love u both.

[tonebeatz24]

Nelly and Ashanti just weren't right for each other. Nelly was just hitting it. They were just friends with benefits. Don't get me wrong, Ashanti is a fine ass woman and he was lucky that he was tapping that fine ass of hers, but he is a idiot for leaving her. If I had a fine ass woman like Ashanti I would never leave her. He says he is so addicted to his work and busy, thats why his album failed. It only made 1 hit. Nelly your an idiot. I think Ashanti and Kris Humpries would make great couples

[itsGdublan]

black people are so bad at spending money. im not trying to be racist but seriously. everything they buy is to look good to other people. ridiculously expensive ugly bulky jewelry, ugly over priced cars, or just really expensive nice cars, top brand clothing, and whatever to make themselves look good.

[TheHardTruth101]

@itsGdublan Are you sure that blacks are the ONLY ones that do this?? And i don't care what disclaimer you TRY to put into you comment. Whenever you make a generalization about an ENTIRE race of people... it IS RACIST! Get it? Grow up asshole...

[itsGdublan]

@TheHardTruth101 are fucking dumb? racist means you think that race is inferior you moron. not generalizing. if i say asians use chop sticks, that doesnt mean im racist you fucking stupid little kid. and yes, it is black people that do this.

[mssummerrose1]

@itsGdublan sorry to pop your bubble, but TheHardTruth101 is right on that: "racist" means to generalize and to link certain caracteristics to a group of people who share a common descent, disregarding other influences. and even if you say sth "positive" like "blacks can sing", that still puts them in a box which paves the way for discrimination. bye!

[TheHardTruth101]

@mssummerrose1 Thank you summer. @itsGoofball is an idiot. Lol... just look at his choice of words and what he types. Not too bright ;) Probably some 12 year old playing on his dad's computer. I swear people need to put child safety locks on these things ;-)

[mssummerrose1]

@TheHardTruth101 :)))

[mssummerrose1]

@itsGdublan and if u say "Asians use chop sticks" ur saying that they are using them b/c their brain structure or constitution compels them to do so... it is an aquired skill! it's not like they can't use cutlery... and when i'm in Asia, i'll also use chop sticks. ...everything clear?

[itsGdublan]

@mssummerrose1 are you retarded? that doesnt mean they use it because they are "programed" to do so you fucking idiot. it is simply the culture. you are fucking retarded and cannot comprehend the most simple sentences.

[TheHardTruth101]

@itsGdublan The only dummy is you. You may not have directly singled blacks out as being "inferior" per se, but you still cast them in a negative light. Whenever you negatively generalize an ENTIRE race, IT in itself IS racist. It's like someone saying all white women are sluts. Or white guys have little dicks. Get it? Fucking dipshit. Go play somewhere...

[niquesworld08]

child please he need to marry somebody cause there's no music buzz lmao

[boosladysheenaboo]

NELLY DONT WANT ASHANTI NOR KELLY HE WANNA BE HERSLF POINT BLANK PERIOD.....HE NOT A ONE WOMEN MAN YET

[SuperIndependent4]

Marry Kelly!!! Yall belong 2gether!! (Kelly Rowland) cuz i dont buy dat "brotha and sister relationship"

[hapyft07]

That's right Nelly, one time only, that's God's plan also... God's not for divorce though some situations have to come to that, but that's not God's ultimate plan towards marriage so yes, WAIT, God knows when its time, forget what the world has to say, they wont be at the wedding nor living with you, Keep moving forward bro, STL all day!!!

[thisBitchLiz]

NellyFan4Life!

[sigon9]

sprinkle888 STFU dumbass

[chelle5565]

@sigon9 lmmfaoooo

[sprinkle888]

Marriage is honorable in the eyes of God, fornication is a sin Nelly you really need to turn to Jesus Christ and honor his word by marrying this young lady, fornicators will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Romans 1:29 to 32.

[SafeGunz]

DERRTTY ENT !

[caramelrose1987]

Yep he aint marrying her ANYTIME SOON



[Kingjames313]

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

[MsHogue1]

@Kingjames313 right!!

[8soulsareEternal]

REAL TALK!

[bettyboop3xxx]

Nelly is right on what he is saying you can not rush into a relationship it'll not work that is why he says its best to be friends first. and paparazzi making these false accusations for the publicity's entertainment is wrong. all celebrities,singers,comedians all the show business industry should have the right to remain their own privacy they are still the same as us who is not in the show business and we get our privacy so what goes on with nelly ashanti or whoever it is needs privacy.

[MzRoulette91]

THIS IS 100% HOW I FEEL BOUT GET MARRIED! STRAIGHT 100%

[henriwesley2015]

Atleast he's not being like kim kardashian

[fearless5191]

[hotness1988]

@DJDlRTYDISHES lmfao!

[1AsiaQ]

@DJDlRTYDISHES LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[westherie]

@DJDlRTYDISHES Feed yourself first. Because the way you talk and write shows you miss essential nutrients to make you think right and speak right.

[calibeauty112]

I absolutely love his reasoning, although I agree a woman can only wait so long I'd rather a man say this to me than to be divorced after 72 days.... Nowadays marriage isn't valued the way it once was.

[goodluv01]

damn nigga tho friends ... friends yall was friends 4 like 30 yrs lmfao she wasnt ur gurl smh

[shukore2008]

you know you want kelly ! lol

[zirpa1]

Wow Nelly is such a good man! Ashanti is so lucky!

[hasanbrown94]

nelly talks like he has false teeths lol...

[MzPRINCESSzzz]

I WANT TO MARRY U

[cammycutie13]

NO. waitin all this time to get married..they been datin since bout 2005 they should jus get married or date other people.

[Selam352]

He is right he is not ready he want to be serious not like the other celebrity they think marriage is a joke nelly is a smart man and sexy

[dirtyplaya]

2.5 mill sold ? dam good job nelly

[dirtyplaya]

they would make a good couple

[Lizzysmart2007]

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.....

[AtheneHolder]

"society puts pressure on you because they want to see a certain type of relationship, but when the relationship fails society does not want to take responsibility"

WELL SAID, and that applies to some friends too

[pcherry1114]

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

[ZerReap]

IVE GOT THAT SHIRT :D

[LoVeStoned2424]

That is sweet! I love how he takes marriage seriously and not just a joke, like some celebrities.

[ThePaulPiper]

Nelly is a smart man and he is makin a smart move. I personally wish most people could do like he is doin because if they did we would not have a high divorce rate like we do in America.

[100JamesX]

[Deekkii88]

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

[DJATop52]

jeesus hee licks his lips alot

[SexxiDimpalz]

There is nothing wrong with him waiting to get married. Its not good to rush anyone into getting married if they're not ready. My sister amped her husband up into marrying her, and come to find out this nigga was cheating on her a week before the wedding..im js he wasn't ready obviously and she still married his ass...smdh. If she thinks he dont cheat she crazy af but hey to each its own.Do ur thang Nelly, n fuck what everybody else talkin bout.

[davonizdashit]

FUCK MARRIAGE AND LOVE! THAT SHIT AINT ABOUT NOTHING! WHATS SO GREAT ABOUT HAVING TO SEE AND DEAL WITH THE SAME PERSON THE REST OF MY LIFE? IGNORACE AND ALL SMH. PLUS THESE DAYS MARRIAGE (ESPECIALLY CELEB RELATIONSHIPS) DON'T EVER REALLY WORK OUT ANYWAY......FUCK LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

[hun33y]

That man is 37 years old and he wants to be married to his work... O K.

[octoBURRfirst]

ashanti is sooo lucky!!!

[LUXURY713]

Is that woman's jewelry I like it on a man

[knicole137]

I dont like her for himm!!!

[Ibochic1]

This man is smoking hawt!

[jason60152]

@Ibochic1 Do you think he look better than Lil Wayne?

[ParisianNation]

@jason60152 Yes definitely

[jason60152]

@ParisianNation You got weird taste.

[JoshuaPaule]

Hes on the money

[gparadise08x]

love the way they think

[madamblade]

i think hes thinking straight....u gotta get your own life straight first before u can complete somebody elses!

[chrysdeehanne02]

All that time she needs to move on what a jerk set her free twips

[tew012]

yeeessssssss Nelly....do yo' thang...FUCK WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS SAYING..

[DONAZUMS]

i love the part where he said, ''you gonna die if you leave me!'', and thats a fact. Just imagine Beyonce leaving Jayz for another dude, i bet she won't even dare, no dude will even try Lol

[HotnSmart1]

awwwwww they are so cute together

[NAVYWIFEONE]

he sounds like gay butt puffy he said the same excuse he is bi-sexual he was kissing all up on puffy , puffy said the reason he isn't getting married is because of whitney & bobby brown !

what?

[Oduks93]

Who the fuck cares? Do your thing Nelly!

[LANO500]

They are friends but Nelly is hittin that thang time to time

[fabswify2011]

That's crazy cause I was wondering WHY they never got married? It's been over 5 years thats just like being in engaged for 5 years and not get married. What real woman wants to be in a relationship for 5 years or more and still be labled as just a friend? ONLY A WEAK ONE! he cheating on her BIG TIME!

[trell6900]

@fabswify2011 I agree with you, aint no way, ill be with a nicca 4 5yrs and not get married!

[JMoney4shoTV]

Nelly and Ashanti kind of remind me of a Jay-Z and Beyonce for some reason... I guess because it's the similarities of a rapper dating an R&B singer I guess...

[darknluv]

he. is. so. fine.- i have never in my life. y is e that fine?? ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous.

[kilk36]

love it

[iDiamonique]

i think you and kelly are meant to be nelly!!!!

[MrBNjohnson]

looK

[missjazzypoo977]

its funny yu said "anyone who leaves me dies" my cusin didnt and yu asked her to mary yu ahahah! see yu soon broski(:

[teenyhead07]

Yeah he is still fucking other bitches...but its their relationship

[fabswify2011]

@teenyhead07 you are so right! Aint no way I'm gone stay with no man over 5 years and we not get married ashati like that ish!

[galiyo007]

[avonlon05]

baby u 37 now don't u think it's time u get marry..not to shanti boo me...she can be wife number 2.

[IloveAlb1]

take your time nelly.... i feel ya

[SimplyBeautful]

OBVIOUSLY they've been together forever...."friends" = in a relationship but to keep the public from being involved we'll keep callin each other "friends".....its the same shit Beyonce used to do, she was forever sayin her and Jay were "friends"

[XBOXMASTER123456]

He's such a huge douche

[poshkita123]

Marry me Mr.Peng T'ING :D

[TheMinajqueen]

that boy is fineeee :)

[Amarudonn7]

@sayleon1 bitch, didnt you hear what the man said, they just FRIENDS and society, people like YOU HOE, try to add pressure on celebrities to see a relationship, got damn!!

[cmbmichelle3]

jus fuck buddies...frens lol dats all most men want to be.

[mskialauj]

MARRiAGE iS A BiG COMMiTMENT, SO HE'S NOT BEiNG A DUMBASS... &ASHANTi AiN'T EiTHER!

[vplougoboy]

@sayleon1 she cant dump his ass cause he already dumped hers! YOU personaly would leave your man any time possible to be with that dude so shut your mouth and stop giving stupid advices! bitches

[Rndo9Rajon]

@sayleon1 put yourself in his fucking shoes

[bentlee718]

His top teeth are annoying me. u can tell they arent natural ugggh

[jerryumeh1]

Nelly's still fucking bitches, not anywhere near marrying ashanti....sorry!

[cmanballa22]

@sayleon1 idiot..

[JoexBag]

@sayleon1 It's amazing how dumb you are.

[parkourvids1]

@sayleon1 its so funny and pathetic when girls think they know so much about guys and what they think we mean. girls r so fucking stupid lmfao

[marcotastik]

nelly looks different in this interview i cant figure out what it is?

[jadenwoods11]

@marcotastik ... its the tight shirt

[SuperJayZFan1]

@sayleon1 You Don't Know If Nelly's Planning On Marrying Her Or Not, As You Can See Jay-Z & Beyonce Have Been Together Since 2002 & They Got Married 6 Years Later (2008) & Then Are Having A Baby 3 Years Later (2011), So Just Because Nelly Didn't Ask Ashanti To Marry Her So Quick Doesn't Mean He's Not Planning On Marrying Her. Plus Celebrities Who Get Married Usually Get A Quick Divorce So Maybe Thats Whats Going Through His Head Right Now, He's Just Being Cautious I Think.

[CHAYANA91]

@SuperJayZFan1 The thing is Nelly never claimed that they're a couple. He always says that their "just friends." Jay-z and Beyonce been together for as long as Nelly and Ashanti has been together or "just friends."

[aimalafgoon]

@SuperJayZFan1 Why do you capitalize every word? Looks absolutely stupid.

[shawtymo1]

OMG, Nelly you're fine if you marry me you won't have to killed me because I won't leave a fine man like you.This is coming from a Trini woman.

[reeeltalk]

hes so fit..

[wondiefive]

Dayum right Nelly, you gotta John Legend "Take It Slow"!!! Ain't NOTHING wrong with having that mindset at all! People are too impetuous with marriage, only to have it fall apart not long after the start.

[MsLK87]

nelly is speaking the truth, you ahve to be friends first to take things to the next level. get to know yourself and on another before you run off to get married.

[MissInfoMation]

@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.

[olddud25]

i digg nelly

[galaxyviness]

@sayleon1 you are right about that!

[RossD189]

He is so right about the friends stage. I feel you on that one bro, you can say that again.

[420PiNKx]

Real talk he dnt want her i take her she fine ass hell ill never wear clothes round house lol he iz craZy

[mskaylovespink]

Blah, blah, blah.  Where's Kat Stacks in all this? Lmao. Kidding.

[carol02086]

r they still together??or break up??

[Reggaefusionlives]

@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.

[ARoseG46]

@Reggaefusionlives i dont know why everyone is hating on him talking about he wants something better i mean who could he NOT have? nelly is fine if he wanted better or thought better was out there he would have done been married to it already

[01thrilla]

Thos glasse`s are freeshhh 

[HandsomeDee92]

Nelly dont get married! How old are you like in the 30-40 range, those are your golden years playa! dont let a female tie you down

[HandsomeDee92]

Nelly is still in the game he dont want to settle down now..

[mindyourbizok]

Nelly is handsome! I wish he would take off his sunglasses.

[onyxsta]

BULLSHIT! He's on this 'friends' crap....move on hunny!

BLEURGH

[Reggaefusionlives]

@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.

[daintyapple]

he's not gonna marry her, they just fuck buddies

[DanceLikeMe0815]

I cant understand why he doesnt say that they r together? whats the matter?

since 2003 they r obviously together..

[thebackbencher666]

@sayleon1 this is the jerk off who thinks he knows politics? hey dumb fuck keep commenting on ashnti videos and let the big boys handle the real issues...slip into a bucket of aids and keep limbaughs name out cho mouf.

[inxthexxsky]

so much respect for him right here

[taygirlify]

I respect him..marriage is an oath before God..we need more people like him to respect God's wishes and desires!

[shebashine1]

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!!!

[ukubittas32]

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:)

[kymheartschris]

i think he would be better with kelly rowland she is 10x better than ashanti

[shebashine1]

@kymheartschris

According to you but it is up to nelly who he wants to be with not a fan.

[nellweasley]

She shouldn't move on. To b honest he is a good guy and she is obviously a nice girl. They are both very comfortable with the relationship they have, like he stated. They are focused on other things at the moment, but if the time is right they will make magic happen. Why rush if you aint sure yet!

[sctblue]

nelly sexxi ass hell but ashanti deserve to be happy so hun move on to da nxt becom friendz wid a guy den get marryed...cuz u nd nelly been together how long? nd he still not ready to get marryed fuk that shit do u wanna be in a commient relationship or wat!!
