First, How did Nelly play Ashanti??? Nelly and Ashanti been seen PLENTYYY times on red carpets together, events together, Nelly EVEN took Ashanti to T.I and TIny's Wedding. NElly EVEN had Ashanti perform at his Traditional Black And White Party, where she in-fact perform a song and dance on him. Nelly was even the leading male lover in Ashanti's "Good Good" video. Ashanti was NElly's leading lover in his "Body On Me" video. Nelly even said in an interview that he NEVER denied a "relationship" he had with Ashanti, nor did she EVER deny a "relationship" with him and even said that he wanted to see these interviews where they BOTH denied each other OR claimed each other. You NOT gone find one because there isn't one he said. And the reason why he never married her because he said in an interview that he ONLY wants to get married ONCE!, he not the type to get marry more than that and he wanted to wait to be sure. HIm and Ashanti had relationship problems CLEARLY,. Nelly NEVER played Ashanti. And if he did, like nelly said, Show me when or where he PLAYED her.
