Ashanti and Nelly address viral parenting debate

Ashanti and Nelly appeared on The Breakfast Club to address previous online criticism regarding Nelly’s involvement in childcare for their son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. The discussion stemmed from a moment in their Peacock reality series, “Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together,” where Nelly joked about not intending to change diapers.

Nelly clarified that his comments were misinterpreted, stating that while he did not change diapers consistently, he did participate and often utilized a nanny to assist with responsibilities. Ashanti supported this by noting that Nelly changed their son’s very first diaper in the hospital following his birth.
