Nelly and Ashanti are one of the most beloved couples in hip hop. Both artists dominated the early 2000s with their music, and now they are parents. They will also become reality stars in the future. Deadline announced that Nelly and Ashanti will be the focus of an upcoming docuseries that will be produced by Peacock. The docuseries will span a single season, and focus on the couple during their first year of marriage. It will also, presumably, focus on the birth of their son, Kareem.
Deadline reported that Nelly and Ashanti have been filming with a crew sporadically over the past few months. Both artists will serve as producers on the docuseries alongside Critical Content Studios vets Jenny Daly and Oji Singletary. The production is still going on, and details about the title or release date have been kept under wraps. Anybody who knows about Nelly and Ashanti’s history, though, is aware of the various story threads that can be explored. The couple first met at the 2003 Grammy Awards. They dated for a decade between 2003 and 2013, and recorded one hit song together during this time period. 2008’s “Body on Me” peaked at number ten on the US Hot Rap Songs chart.

Nelly and Ashanti broke up in 2013. A decade later, they reconciled and got back together. They had their first child together, the aforementioned Kareem Haynes, on July 18, 2024. Nelly was surprised by the fact that him and Ashanti got back together, but was ultimately grateful. “It surprised both of us though,” the rapper explained. “It wasn’t anything that was like planned. I think we both were pretty much doing what we do, but sometimes being separate, you understand one another more.” Nelly claimed career goals got in the way of their mutual happiness the first time around.
“You know, before I felt like both of us are doing what we’re doing career wise,” he told Kirk Frost and Rasheeda in 2023. “And when you got so many people in the middle of it, it can be tough.” The couple are stronger than ever, despite Nelly recent legal complications. The rapper was arrested in St. Louis in August due to an old traffic charge. He was quickly released, however. We can’t wait to see what him and Ashanti have in store when the docuseries premieres.
