Ashanti Hilariously Rates Nelly’s 2000s Style a 6/10; Nelly Claps Back with an 8!
Ashanti Amazes Fans by Giving Nelly a 6/10 for His 2000s Style; He Replies, “I Gave You an 8!”
Boldly rating each other’s iconic 2000s fashion looks, Ashanti and Nelly took fans on a nostalgic ride and sparked a viral moment of playful teasing. During a promotional segment for their reality show We Belong Together, they revisited their signature style from the early 2000s, including baggy jeans, grills, and Nelly’s famous under-eye band-aid.
Nelly kicked off with a humorous review:
“I’d give you an 8 out of 10. You were killing it back then—despite the hips, baby hair, multiple jackets, and crop tops. That era was something!”
But Ashanti wasn’t holding back, pointing to a throwback photo of Nelly in his early days:
“I’m giving you a 6. You looked cute, but you weren’t quite there yet!”
The audience erupted in laughter, and Nelly responded with mock shock:
“A six? I gave you an eight, and you hit me with a six? That’s cold!”
Social Media Cheers and Lighthearted Jabs
The clip quickly went viral across social platforms, adored for its authentic, humorous vibe. Fans praised the couple’s playful dynamic, with one commenting:
“Married and still roasting each other? Couple goals!”
One popular meme quipped:
“She rated him a six after 25 years and a baby—legendary!”
Ashanti tried to score Nelly’s energy:
“Your smile then? 10. Your energy? 10. But that band-aid? Maybe a three!”
Nelly quipped back:
“That band-aid made me millions!”
Reflections and Growing Up
Beyond the jokes, both stars shared reflections on their evolution:
“Looking back at those old photos, I realize we were just kids, but we were stylish for our time,”
Ashanti added:
“We grew up on camera, and I’m really proud of how far we’ve come. If you told me in 2003 I’d be married with a child and a reality show, I’d have thought you were crazy!”
Nelly concluded with a sentimental note:
“Love finds its way back. Even if she gave me a six, I always knew she was my one.”
Throwback Looks Take Over Social Media
Post-show, fans flooded social with images of Ashanti’s “Foolish” era and Nelly’s classic durag style. One joked:
“Nelly’s durags deserve an award!”
In her Instagram stories, Ashanti clarified:
“Just joking, I love my husband! We both looked wild back then, but that’s part of what makes us us.”
Nelly shared laughter emojis in response:
“Still not over it!”
