On March 20, 2021, Triller launched Verzuz, a webcast series featuring battles between musicians from different genres of music. This live video stream and webcast series airs on the Verzuz TV app.

Some of the episodes feature artists like Raekwon vs Ghostface Killah, Mario vs Omarion, Brandy vs Monica and Erykah Badu vs Jill Scott. Plus they host a live concert that includes some of these participants.

In between battles, they also host a live concert featuring all of the participants. Filmed in a theater, it featured pictures of their childhoods with an iconic backdrop: a basketball court surrounded by woven wire fences.

They’re Still Friends

If you're a fan of R&B music, Nelly And Ashanti are likely familiar to you as one of the hottest power couples in the industry. Their songs "Country Grammar" and "Foolish" helped propel them to stardom during the early 2000s.

Once the singers made their mark, it became evident that they were more than just friends. Dating for over a decade, they kept their relationship out of the public eye while hanging out often and even posed for photos together (2009's "Body On Me")

Nelly and Ashanti broke up in 2013, leaving fans to wonder if they would ever reunite. Since then, the duo has remained friends while leading separate romantic lives apart from one another.

At Verzuz concert in September 2021, Nelly and Ashanti reunited for the first time in years. It was an iconic moment that captivated social media. As they shared a hug, many fans had high hopes that they would get back together again.

Nelly and Shantel Jackson remain close, but Nelly has recently moved on from Shantel Jackson and is dating Flo Rida. Unfortunately, it appears unlikely that the two will reunite anytime soon.

Since their breakup, the two haven't been seen together in public. Nonetheless, they remain close friends. When they reunited for a performance in December 2022, some fans noticed their onstage chemistry.

Rumors persist that Nelly and Ashanti are dating again, though neither party has confirmed this yet. She did post an Instagram photo with an unknown man in 2021 which led many to believe she was seeing him.

In December, Ashanti appeared on The Breakfast Club Show to discuss her plans to re-record her 2002 self-titled debut album. She explained that she was doing this because she wanted ownership over the masters for it.

Although she didn't mention Gotti by name, it remains uncertain if he is involved. Furthermore, she didn't discuss BET's upcoming Murder Inc. docuseries, leaving it unclear if she plans on bringing her ex-boyfriend back into the picture.

Nelly Says He’s Not Interested In Getting Back Together

For hip-hop and R&B fans in the early 2000s, Nelly and Ashanti were two of the hottest artists in the industry. Their music propelled them to stardom and they are considered one of hip-hop's most influential couples.

After Nelly's debut single, "Country Grammar," reached the top of the charts in June 2000 and Ashanti released her self-titled debut album two years later, they were able to break into the mainstream. Both rappers enjoyed tremendous success with their albums; Ashanti's songs such as "What's Luv?" and "Always on Time" even reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Their career successes were well deserved; they received Grammy awards for their albums and cemented themselves as one of the most successful couples in music.

However, it appears their relationship is no longer as strong. Ashanti recently stated she's not interested in getting back together with her ex-husband.

Recently, the 42-year-old singer revealed her current dating situation to The Shade Room. While she remains friends with Nelly, she hasn't been feeling particularly romantic lately.

While they hadn't been seen together in years, Ashanti and Nelly recently reunited at Fat Joe and Ja Rule's Verzuz concert. During the concert, both gave each other hugs and appeared to be on cordial terms.

Fans have been wondering if Ashanti and Nelly could get back together since their separation in 2013. On Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Ashanti stated that while she and Nelly don't plan to reunite, their personal relationship has grown in a positive direction.

Ashanti's relationship with her former husband had been long and complicated, making it difficult to imagine finding love again after all of the heartbreak she has endured. Yet the singer isn't giving up hope.

Even though she may not be ready to reconcile with her former flame, she's still searching for someone new to spend the rest of her life with. In an Instagram Live session with Fat Joe and Ja Rule in 2021, she even admitted that she was dating a mysterious white man; however, no further details about him have been shared yet.
