Nelly And Ashanti Busted
Yahoo! Music, Feb 2, 2005 7:00 pm PSTRapper Nelly and singer Ashanti have been downplaying their relationship in the past months, with each party providing the politically correct answer that they've only been on a few dates when questioned about the relationship. Unfortunately for the pair, their cover has been blown, as photographs of the two enjoying a walk on the beach in Anguilla have surfaced online and in magazines.
A spokesman for the photographer who took the pictures told Allhiphop.com, "The pictures were taken on January 5, 2005 on an island called Anguilla. They were on vacation. They noticed the photographer after a while, because one of the pics shows Nelly looking directly into the camera."
Nelly and Ashanti have been linked to each other since last summer. Actor Samuel L. Jackson also incriminated the duo during promotional interviews for his latest movie, Coach Carter, which also stars Ashanti. Jackson told reporters that Ashanti seldom ate the food provided by the catering staff on set because Nelly would visit regularly and bring organic food.
