The “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)” songstress, 43, announced in April that she and the “Hot in Herre” hitmaker, 49, were engaged.
She also confirmed her pregnancy after months of speculation.
“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she told Essence at the time.
“Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé and loyal fans — who have been so supportive of my career — is an amazing experience.”
Ashanti went on to post an Instagram video showing her mother asking if she was ready to go on stage for a performance.
“Imma need about nine months,” Ashanti replied as she showed her mom a positive pregnancy test.
The video ended with the words, “To be continued…”
The “Foolish” singer made sure to tag Nelly, and she captioned the post, “Baby baby baby baby…. ❤️
