Slow new days is it?
Ignorant ppl think that cisgender men and women cant be platonic friends, ever since 2003 ppl assumed nelly and ashanti were dating when really they were just platonic friends..i can tell when ppl lie and they werent… why would they lie about being only friends?..they didnt start dating until 2023!
also in fiction it seems prefered for couples to have daughters over sons..so im glad they have son
So it’s a cancer A f****** Cancer I don’t like cancers y’all crabby MUTHA fuckas
Mommy and Daddy two Libra h***, they need some sensitivity around them to balance it out 🤣
I thought they would’ve called the baby Ecstasy!?
Good Good by Ashanti should be their wedding song.
