Rumors of a Nelly and Ashanti coupling were further fueled when the pair performed in Vegas the next day after the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia fight, and they got rather comfortable with each other onstage, to say the least.

Fans remember the cringeworthy interview Gotti gave to N.O.R.E. on the “Drink Champs” podcast about his alleged romance with Ashanti and how much he obsessed over her. He also detailed how his heart was figuratively ripped from his chest when she surprisingly showed up in Nelly’s arms at an NBA game back in the early 2000s.

Ashanti, who remained silent through most of Gotti’s ramblings about her while promoting his documentary, finally told Gotti to get over it.
On the remix to Diddy’s “Gotta Move On, she sang these verses that were undoubtedly directed at Gotti: “It’s giving obsessed/it’s giving me stressed/it’s giving me pressed/But it’s been 20 years / Please say less/Yeah, you gotta move on.”
