“Uncle” Lloyd is welcoming Baby Hanyes with open arms.
The singer shared a heartfelt message to Ashanti and Nelly’s bundle of joy.
He wrote via Instagram, “Dear Baby Haynes, you are surrounded by love, by good energy, and by ppl who have prayed for your piece [sic] of mind way before you were born.”
“One day I will tell you of the times I got to sing to you while still in your mothers belly, of how your mommy changed my life, and of how your dad was there for me when I needed a little love and guidance. Can’t wait to meet you and make you laugh. Inshallah, Your Uncle Ladi [infinity emoji, heart emoji, baby emoji].”
Ashanti- who felt the love, responded, “Omggggg I’m cryinggggg and u know I don’t cry… Thanku Ladi love u soooooooooo much!!!!! Such beautiful and meaningful words… I truly appreciate you so much. I’m literally crying.”
Ashanti shared with the world in a now viral video that she and Nelly are expecting their first child together. “Baby baby baby baby….”
During a previous interview, Ashanti also revealed that Nelly popped the big question. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she says. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
We previously reported that Nelly revealed he and Ashanti got back together unexpectedly. “It wasn’t anything that I don’t think was planned,” he shared, adding that he believes time apart played a role in their rekindled relationship. “I think we both were pretty much doing what we do, but sometimes being separate you understand one another more. You be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly what they see.’ You know, because we all can be defensive sometimes in our own relationships. We know we wrong but we going to stand on it. But we all a victim to that.”
Congratulations to the beautiful couple.
