Ashanti went all out for her boyfriend Nelly in honor of his 49th birthday.
On Tuesday, October 31, the singer revealed her major gift for the "Hot In Herre" rapper during his "G.I. Moe" themed-Halloween party in Atlanta. After his birthday cake was rolled out, Ashanti announced that she got Nelly a candy apple blue, customized 1962 Impala convertible. The new whip comes with a Corvette L's motor and a sound system with Nelly's logo on it. According to TMZ, Nelly was so overjoyed about the gift that he got a little emotional. Apparently, the Impala has always been Nelly's dream car since he was a kid.
Ashanti got the car for Nelly just a few days before his massive Halloween shindig. Car broker Ronnie Garber told TMZ that he got a call from DJ Envy, who was calling on Ashanti's behalf during her search for the perfect vehicle for her longtime boo. The custom car reportedly cost Ashanti "well over $100,000." Based on the look on his face, it was totally worth it.
Nelly and Ashanti revived their relationship a decade after they broke up. The couple first sparked conversations when they attended Gervona Davis and Ryan Garcia's boxing match in April.
"Nelly and Ashanti are back together and both of them are very happy," a source close to the couple confirmed in May.
The couple has a lot more public appearances over the past few months. Nelly recently confirmed their relationship on Rasheeda's "Boss Moves" show. At the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in September, Ashanti honored their relationship by appearing on the red carpet while holding a clutch purse with a photo of them together on it.
