Nelly’s Picks “Baby” As His Favorite Ashanti Track

In a moment that left fans grinning ear to ear, Nelly recently revealed the Ashanti song that holds the most meaning to him, and it’s not the one most would expect. While promoting their upcoming reality show, the Grammy-winning rapper sat down for a playful game that explored the highlights of Ashanti’s chart-topping catalog. But when it came time to pick his favorite? Nelly didn’t hesitate.
“Baby,” he said with a smile, choosing the heart-wrenching 2002 ballad from Ashanti’s debut album over more mainstream hits like “Foolish” and the chart-topping duet “Always on Time.” The selection took some by surprise. After all, Baby may not be the most widely recognized of Ashanti’s hits, but it struck a personal chord with her now-husband. Nelly admitted that while “Rain on Me” once represented a heavier moment in their long and winding journey, “Baby” now reflects a sweeter chapter, one grounded in love, growth, and perhaps a touch of playful memories.

“Rain on Me was at a different time in our relationship,” Nelly shared in the interview with Cocoa Butter. “We gon’ slide that along and stick with Baby.” The choice wasn’t without a little light-hearted teasing. As Ashanti grinned beside him, Nelly playfully defended his pick, proving once again that the couple’s chemistry is as charming as ever. Fans of the duo know that despite their musical legacies, Nelly and Ashanti have only officially collaborated once on 2008’s sultry “Body on Me.” However, it’s clear that their musical bond runs deeper than just their joint tracks.
Nelly’s affection for “Baby” speaks volumes about how music can echo personal memories, especially for a couple whose love story has seen a full-circle revival in recent years. With their new reality series on the horizon, this candid moment offered a glimpse into the couple’s dynamic full of heart, humor, and mutual admiration. And for longtime Ashanti fans, “Baby” just got a little more special. After all, when one of hip-hop’s biggest stars chooses a sentimental deep cut over a global hit, you know there’s a love story behind it.

Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson Make It Official

Megan Thee Stallion, a musician known for capturing attention with her fierce looks and unapologetic style, recently took to Instagram with a set of sun-soaked bikini photos.

“Klay Thompson, I ain’t never know your game,” one tweeted. “How you do that off a court? Another wrote, “Another win for a winner,” hinting at the athlete’s winner’s mentality, on and off the hardwood. Not everyone, though, is simply sipping the tea in silence. Others are looking deeper into who Megan has been linked to in the past, such as fellow athlete Torrey Craig, and wondering when exactly their supposed romance ended and Thompson came into the picture. But that timeline, for now, is a mystery.
Although the two have not confirmed their relationship with an official public appearance or shared a confirming post of their own, their cozy proximity to each other has already sent shockwaves. Whether they’re on their way to courtside PDA or flying under the radar, there’s no doubt about it, this couple has people buzzing.

Joyner Lucas Gears Up For Lyrical Warfare After Skepta’s “Friendly Fire” Diss

Joyner Lucas is not one to shrink from lyrical smoke, and he’s wearing that in plain sight in yet another response to Skepta’s direct diss track, “Friendly Fire.” The day after the casting news broke, Lucas shot back with a sarcastic response on social media. The Massachusetts rapper is pictured simply vibing to Skepta’s shit and flashing smiles, shrugging off bars, and ultimately nodding in affirmation, “I hear you… and I’m coming.” His short and sweet message, “Alright, say less my boy,” only revealed a touch of the news, and it spread like wildfire through both fans and rap heads.
The friction started earlier in the week after Skepta made the bold claim that UK rappers had better bars than their American counterparts. That did not go over so well across the pond. ASAP Rocky, Maiya The Don, and then of course, Joyner Lucas’ names were all thrown into the mix to dispute this silly list, but the point is they all shut down the argument as it pertains to lyricists in the U.S. rap game. Skepta upped the stakes by releasing “Friendly Fire,” a direct diss track that added gasoline to the simmering transatlantic feud.
A stylish sequel, first in energy and then in aesthetics, “Greaze Mode” saw Skepta step up to the plate and not pull punches, Ice-cold delivery and unapologetic bars, he left no shadow of a doubt that he’s not just talking any old, he’s ready to prove it. Drake’s participation only added to the broth. On the second day of his headlining set at Wireless Festival, he brought Skepta to the stage and declared London to be the place with the best lyricists on earth. Those words, coming from the 6 God himself, boomed across continents and lent serious weight to the debate.
Now all eyes are on Joyner Lucas. Renowned for his double-time flows, intricate storytelling, and unapologetic candor, he’s certainly no stranger to confrontation or competition. His cool, collected, yet firm response screams ‘ready and waiting.’ “Friendly Fire”, in the chessboard of lyrical battle, was Skepta’s opening gambit. But Joyner’s cool nod and knowing “say less” could be the calm before a storm. If this friendly fire escalates to a full-on feud, the world of hip-hop is in for one of the most exciting lyrical showdowns of the year.
