Ashanti and Nelly: Keeping Baby KK Off Social Media for Now
Ashanti, the iconic R&B singer, is shining bright as a new mom, but when it comes to sharing the spotlight with her adorable 7-month-old son, Kareem “KK,” she’s all about those privacy vibes. In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, she opened up about why she hasn’t posted any pictures of KK on social media yet, despite his undeniable cuteness. “I just feel like he’s so important to me, and I don’t know if I want to share that,” she said. Well, that makes total sense! After all, not every mother feels the need to broadcast every moment of their child’s life online.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t sound like Nelly, the proud dad and rapper, is on the same page. Ashanti revealed that he’s itching to share their sweet bundle of joy with the world. “Daddy definitely wants to post. ‘Not yet, Daddy! Not yet!'” she playfully quipped. Essentially, it’s a classic case of “Mom knows best!” Ashanti emphasizes the desire to keep this chapter of her life close and personal, revealing that if she does decide to finally share KK’s photos, she wants to have full control over it. That thoughtful approach to parenting is commendable in a world where everyone seems to give their kids Instagram accounts before they even learn to walk.
In a previous conversation with PEOPLE, both Ashanti and Nelly expressed their joy in parenthood, revealing that KK is already showing personality traits reminiscent of his dad, particularly when it comes to his temper—watch out when that bottle is late! Ashanti gushed, “He’s a blessing. He’s an angel. My life is amazing right now.”
The couple’s journey to parenthood is particularly heartwarming. Nelly, who already has two adult children from previous relationships, shows a seasoned parenting side to this new role, while Ashanti is reveling in the joy of their little family unit. As they navigate this stage together, we can’t wait to see how they balance fame, love, and the tough decisions that come with being new parents. For now, though, it looks like baby KK will remain under wraps—a blanket of privacy in a world of oversharing.
