Fat Joe brought Nelly out during his VERZUZ battle against Ja Rule. On the other hand, Ja Rule brought out his long time musically partner, Ashanti- who happens to be the ex of Nelly.
During the battle fans noticed that Nelly walked across the stage to hug Ashanti, which sparked reconciliation rumors. Following the battle, Ashanti, Ja Rule, Fat Joe and Remy Ma jumped on Instagram live to discuss the battle. Of course they discussed the the Shanti and Nelly moment.
“Listen, there’s nothing happening,” Ashanti said. “Now look, this is the crazy part. I had no idea he was gonna be there and I haven’t seen him or spoken to him since we broke up. Six years or something? So, I didn’t know what to expect. I seen him move you out the way,” she added with a laugh.
