Ashanti was in the middle of a very relatable task of pumping breast milk for their baby boy, Kareem, and Nelly decided to crash the party. What ensued was a candid, laugh-out-loud moment that has fans everywhere cracking up and praising their down-to-earth dynamic. You just have to see it to believe it!
Late Thursday night, while most of us were scrolling half-asleep, Nelly and Ashanti hopped on IG Live and gave fans a glimpse into parenthood; unfiltered, hilarious, and a little chaotic.
Ashanti, multitasking queen, and new mama, was quietly trying to pump breast milk when Nelly, seemingly a bit tipsy and fully in his comedic bag, decided to flip on Live.
Ashanti, clearly caught off guard, threw a sheet over her face mid-pump, laughing and trying to snatch the phone from Nelly. But the rapper wasn’t letting up. He leaned in with the camera like it was Hot in Herre all over again and started teasing about making a “sibling for baby Kareem.”
And we’re not exaggerating. This isn’t even Ashanti’s first viral pumping moment. Just two months after giving birth to baby Kareem Kenkaide Haynes on July 18, the 43-year-old was spotted in full mom-boss mode, sweating it out in the gym while wearing electric breast pumps. “Gotta finish pumping before I get on the StairMaster,” she joked. But then she shrugged, laughed, and decided to hit cardio with the pumps on.
However, this new video gave fans something different. Not just motivation but marriage goals. A couple so comfortable, they can crack jokes mid-pump and still look cute doing it. Nelly might’ve been “cutting up” (his words), but viewers couldn’t get enough of their chemistry.
“This is peak relationship energy!” one fan wrote. “Nelly acting like it’s 2003, and Ashanti’s trying to stay sane.”
#Nelly seemingly intoxicated, was ready to risk it all late last night on IG Live w/ #Ashanti as she tried to pump milk for their child. Take a look!

The couple’s unfiltered moment comes nearly a year after they welcomed Kareem, their first child together. And let’s be real, between Ashanti’s multitasking magic and Nelly’s unpredictable energy, they’re easily one of the most entertaining celeb couples to watch right now.
We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for baby #2… or at least the next time Nelly goes live and turns parenting into prime-time comedy.
