Nelly Cries As Ashanti Surprises Him With 'Best Birthday Gift Ever'

Nelly is celebrating his 49th birthday this week, and he was brought to tears by his girlfriend Ashanti‘s generous gift.

In a video posted to social media on Wednesday (November 1), the St. Louis rapper cried with happiness after being treated to a custom 1962 Impala convertible, which costs well over $100,000 according to TMZ.

The couple hugged and kissed as a crowd of people stood around them, with fireworks going off in the background.

After receiving the gift, Nelly took to Instagram to share photos of him and Ashanti in the car, which he called the “best gift” he’s ever received in life, with the exception of his children.

“Sometimes all you can say is ‘Thank You,'” he wrote in the caption. “Best gift I ever received besides my kids!!!! You showed out shawty!!! Love you @ashanti.”

Check out the footage below:

The moment comes shortly after Nelly spoiled Ashanti for her own birthday in October, blessing her with an icy chain to celebrate her turning 43.

In a video of the surprise, Ashanti could be seen entering a room full of friends, with her expression turning to disbelief when a jeweler laced her a chain and bust-down watch to match Nelly.

The singer then hugged and kissed her “Hot In Herre” boyfriend while trying on the glistening watch for the first time.

After long-running speculation about them rekindling their romance, Nelly confirmed that he and Ashanti are dating again during an appearance on Boss Moves with Rasheeda in September.

“Yeah, we cool again,” he said. “I think it surprised both of us. It wasn’t anything that I don’t think planned. I think we were both doing pretty much what we do. Sometimes being separate you understand one another more.

“You could be like maybe let me see exactly what they say. You know we could all be defensive in our relationships. We know we wrong but we gonna stand on it. We all a victim to that.

“It’s no pressure. Before, I felt both of us doing what we doing career wise and you got so many people in the middle of it, it could be tough.”
