Ashanti and Nelly Welcome Their First Child: “I’m So Proud of My Body”

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in virtual worlds, I can’t help but see a beautiful parallel between Ashanti and Nelly‘s real-life journey into parenthood and the epic quests we embark on in our games. Just like in those games, they faced challenges, made sacrifices, and finally reached their destination – their baby boy Kareem Kenkaide Haynes.


Ashanti and Nelly shared that they had their first baby together, which the singer revealed on Wednesday. This joyful news follows shortly after they announced both their pregnancy and engagement a few months back.

“Ashanti penned on Instagram that it’s intriguing when our life’s timelines don’t always match up, a nod to her 2001 song with Ja Rule titled ‘Never Behind Time.'”

As a gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the day I become a parent, but nothing could have prepared me for all the aspects that come with parenthood. “The Foolish” singer put it perfectly: this is what postpartum looks like. I’m incredibly proud of my body for bringing my little one into the world, my baby, my precious little bundle of joy.

In the video accompanying the post, Ashanti showcases her post-pregnancy body in comfortable lounge wear, expressing to the camera, “I’ve been four weeks postpartum. Frankly, I never realized just how capable this body is.”

A spokesperson for the pair shared with People magazine that their newborn son’s name is Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, and he made his arrival on the 18th of July, 2024.

Back in April, I was thrilled to learn that Ashanti and Nelly had some exciting news: they announced they were expecting a child together, and also revealed they were engaged! This will be Kareem, Nelly’s fifth child, and Ashanti’s first. Reminiscing on their history, they dated back in 2003, but called it quits in 2013. However, fate must have had other plans, as their romance sparked again in 2023. I can hardly wait to see what the future holds for this lovely couple!
