Nelly – ‘Body On Me (ft. Ashanti & Akon)’ Video

Published: Friday 18th Jul 2008 by Sam

The video for Nelly’s brand new single ‘Body On Me (ft. Ashanti & Akon)’ just went live on the St. Louis star’s official website. I’m totally liking this one; the clip captures the vibe the of the song really well and with summer right around the corner, the timing of this release has me thinking he may very well have a smash hit on his hands (the song is already receiving heavy radio play on all major stations here in the UK).

What do you think of the video?

    WOW! Ashanti looks good good! (Well except for that Rapunzal lookin hair do while she’s in the club) and it really is a good summer song!

    I think the song is pretty nice now that I’ve seen the vid.. The two of them look so adorable together. I bet you they’re one of those couples that are all lubby dubby that makes me wanna puke. =P..

    Ashanti is lookin’ good. Nelly is on point. and akon is akon haha. But overall good video to match the summer vibe song. They should have mix this version a bit better though. Add in more of Ashanti’s ad libs and her first verse as the second verse. Would’ve made it better. It’s funny too see so many people hating on Ashanti these days. Keep hating, it just makes you look ignorant and pessimistic.

    Did Ashanti really have her “sideburns” slicked down in the pool scene? Wow. Anyway, I thought this was Ashanti’s song or something. Nonetheless, another flop single for the summer.

    Yeah Ashanti looks really good. I never understand why so many people hate on her. She always comes off as a nice sweet person to me. But her featuring on the track was a little useless. Would of been nice if she had a bit more space on the track and a few more oohs and ahhs towards the end but overall i like it. Nice song and video. Cant say i’ll be buying the album but the songs a nice listen.

    Sean Garrett: Coming Up With Something “Crazy” on Britney’s new album!

    Britney Spears is attempting yet another comeback: Reps have confirmed that she is at work on the follow-up to 2007’s Blackout. A statement from Jive Records and Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph says that “Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters. We’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far.” So is Sean Garrett, who happens to be one of those producers. “We’re trying to take her stuff to the next level,” he tells EW.com. “I’m going to come up with something crazy for her.” Spears has sold 83 million albums worldwide in her career, but Blackout only went platinum in the U.S., likely due to declining CD sales and her status as last year’s most permanent tabloid fixture. But Garrett — who’s also worked with Usher, Beyoncé, and Chris Brown — welcomes the challenge. “I like to work on an artist when they count them out…and bring them back.”

    “with summer right around the corner”……Summer started in the US on June 20! When does summer begin where you are Sam?

    Nelly can’t seem to drop a hit single. Ashanti always sounds better when she is featured on someone elses song.

    I like the video. Ashanti and Nelly gorgeous couple. They compliment each other very well. The song has a good summer vibe to it.

  13. mlms July 19, 2008

    Love it, I like the song even more now, and I never heard his version before. But I agree with what someone else said, they should have used some of her ad libs, it would have been even hotter.

    LOVE IT THEY ARE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE…

    Hott video! Ashanti seems to be everywhere once again!! Just to think when all the hataz thought she was gone….. N-E-Way She looks gorgeous!! Ashanti and Nelly has to be the hottest couple out right now!! For some odd reason, their chemistry reminds me of Will and Jada

  19. Anonymous July 19, 2008

    Wow i mean i like both ashanti and nelly but he had like 4 singles out and no album nor was any of those singles really top ten hits what’s going on here? Hopefully this single will help out both his and ashanti’s album because as much as i like ashanti her album is doing really horrible and people try to defend it and say it’s the state of music and crap like that…if thats the case how come artists like alicia keys could come out and sell over 800k first week and 3million in about four months. with that being said good luck to nelly an ashanti…but i smell a flop for both of them sad to say…

    Honestly, people like Alicia Keys have hype around them for no reason because her album sucks and Usher also sold alot but what is his album doing now!!! It sux!!! Ashanti she just got back in the mix and doing things on her own so she kinda starting fresh but you betta believe after she is done with this album, people will be wanting more cause dat album is str8 fire and 8 times betta than Alicia!!! By the time Shanelly run is ova with their album, I promise you will think otherwise!!

    Those two are just too cute. 🙂

  22. Miss Pearl July 20, 2008

    OK, what is the fascination with Akon, he has absolutely NO talent. And Nelly and Ashanti are getting dangerously close to becoming the next Peaches and Herb…. back up.

  23. Anonymous July 20, 2008

    Saying that Alicia’s album sux is a matter of opinion because the close to 4million people that got the album did not think so and it is still selling. Ashanti is cool but her new album is not selling at all and i think that right now there are other artist that are overshadowing her…trust me when i say that this album will not recive any love when it comes to awards season she will not win. Artist like alicia, beyonce, rihanna and keyshia are all hot RIGHT now. Ashanti’s album did not do well why cant her fans just admit it…im a fan and i did

  24. daz July 21, 2008

    the lyrics r good the video but aahanti an nelly hav to be in the same video all the time ?

  25. Anonymous July 21, 2008

    Great video. They do look very cute together.. Sounds like a hit to me!

    Love the song and video!!

  27. Montè July 21, 2008

    The video is ok and sound is just blah to me. Nelly needs to leave Ashanti b/c since they’ve been together publicly his career has been in the dumps. Anytime, you release four singles and you album gets pushed back at least 4 times there is an issue. And Ashanti maybe every these days however nobody’s paying her or her album any mind b/c last I check she only moved 157,000 her in the states with her new album…

  28. Anonymous July 21, 2008

    So what if 4 million people brought Alicia’s album. There’s 4 million more that did not buy it. That doesn’t mean the music is good because it sold. I can’t stand fans who think like that either. All this sales crap is only temperary gratification. It’s not long term at all. Just like you won’t be a celebrity forever. I don’t care how famous you are, or how many records you sold or is selling now. You can come out next week and flop. None of this is promised to any of them. I myself didn’t enjoy Alicia’s album the way I thought it would. Best believe Alicia, Beyonce, Rhianna and Keyshia, are all going to catch their flop and brick too. In fact, Keyshia’s first album was a flop. Until Interscope pumped out 5 singles, and it eventually went platinum.

    Anyway, right now Ashanti’s album is at 200,000 copies. AND SO WHAT IF IT IS. It don’t stop me from listening to it. It doesn’t mean her CD is not good because it didn’t do 800k in a week. You’re not a fan if you only like something because it sold. That makes you a trend hopper and bandwagoner. Not a fan. What’s funny is, you guys talk so much about vocal talent. But you don’t support them either. Because plenty of your favorite vocalist, are flopping left and right as well. So what does that say about y’all?

    Cut the crap about the awards. They have no merit anyway. NARAS and the industry voters are practically paid and payolaed, to hand out these awards to whoever. So none of these chicks are getting them honestly anyway.

    And since when were you guys Miss Cleo, and can predict what will be a hit and what won’t. Being that listeners (cause ain’t nobody your fan anymore), and the music industry in general are very fickle at this time. You don’t know what’s goig to catch on or what people are going to like or not like.

    Lastly, Asahnti is not the only artist to have a moderate success period in her career (she knows that herself, but you don’t see her stopping because of it). They’re all going to take a hit to their chart topping success one day (like I said, none of this is promised to anybody). G Unit just learned that hard lesson. So ease up.

    Montè, Him being romantically involved with Ashanti ain’t got nothing to do with his career being on the dumps. Nelly been a wack ass rapper from jump. Pint blank period. I like Nelly, but he’s always been a wack ass rapper. It just finally caught up with him. It ain’t got nothing to do with her.

  30. Montè July 22, 2008

    Tiffany, whether or not him being linked to her has nothing to do with his career being in dumps is a conversation we can have for weeks. However, I look at it like this when you associate with trash sometimes people decide to throw away the garbage. That my be a little out but you get the point.

  31. William July 22, 2008

    Ashanti is always on point! Go cop that Declaration!!!

  32. Anonymous July 23, 2008

    i think the video and song is hot and nelly is not wack and ashanti cd is the BOMB if you have not got a copy please do , the s*** is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. Tiffany July 24, 2008

    Montè, I get what you’re saying LOL. But still, Nelly has always been wack. It has nothing to do with her, what she’s doing or what people think of her as an artist (really, she’s the one that’s not half bad at all, if you want to know the truth, I might’ve said that 8 years ago, but not now). She has no special powers to control nothing LOL. Naw, I’m just joking. Dude has always been wack as a door knob though. And it just finally caught up with him. In all truth, it really doesn’t matter. Because every single artist, isn’t going to sell a ton of records or have the hits that they use to. Especially in this day and age. If you’re not a part of that 4 or 5 few, you can forget it. But I’m not mad at Nelly. He had his successful years (in terms of the masses). He made his money. So I think it’s more about having fun with the music.
