Nelly didn’t miss a beat when a spicy question came up during his GOAT Talk episode with Ashanti—and his quick wit had his wife grinning.
While the couple chatted about everything from 2000s throwbacks to relationship green flags, things took a hilarious turn around the seven-minute mark when Ashanti drew a card asking them to name their “GOAT hall pass.”
“That’s a dumbass question,” Nelly said with a laugh. “Who do y’all think y’all about to set up with that shit? There’s no way, I’m 50,” he added, as Ashanti burst out clapping.
Not letting it go, Nelly doubled down: “I could never fall for that trap. Who the hell answered that with their wife sitting across from them? Gotta be an idiot.”
Ashanti, clearly loving her man’s answer, threw him a proud high five.
In another heartwarming moment from the episode, Nelly and Ashanti reflected on rekindling their love—now as a married couple with a new baby.
The two tied the knot in December 2023 and recently welcomed their son, Kareem, in July 2024. When asked about the “GOAT thing about being back together now versus then,” Ashanti replied, “Having a child and, like, having a real family unit.”
Nelly, never missing a chance to add some humor, chimed in with, “For me, it’s the thighs, baby.” Ashanti broke into laughter as he added, “Like, you always had ‘em. But them thangs now? Them thangs thangin’.”
Catch all the laughs and love in Nelly and Ashanti’s episode of Complex’s GOAT Talk.
