Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Nelly Dump Ashanti Over Her Alleged Groupie Ways?
Oh lawd, this story reads like a true soap opera. According to an exclusive Bossip.com source, Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship has imploded over rumors of cheating and sleeping around. Ashanti has allegedly been leading a double life, and while she plays the doting, faithful girlfriend of Nelly to his face, behind his back she has allegedly been intimate with Jay-Z and Nas, as well as producer C#### Santana. Remember, this is all allegedly! And, in Ashanti’s defense, Nelly has also had his share of infidelity rumors, and his affinity for trickin’ on strippers and video vixens is legendary in the industry. Well, according to the source, Nelly was ready to change and move forward with their relationship, but found out that Ashanti was allegedly having a relationship with C#### Santana on the side since 2005. When he confronted Ashanti about the rumors, she allegedly denied it, but the source says that Nelly knew she was lying and dumped her. These two never quite reached the celebrity power couple potential they had in the beginning of their relationship. Hopefully they can work it out. They were cute together.

Ashanti Returns With Hot New Video Featuring Busta Rhymes
The Princess of Hip-Hop and R&B is back! Ashanti returns with an all new video for her latest single “The Way You Love Me”, slated to be on her new album Braveheart. This is Ashanti’s first album since 2008’s The Declaration, the last album on the now infamous label, The Inc Records. Busta Rhymes also makes sort of a public return in the video, with his fast-spitting rhymes and vocal delivery.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Jay-Z Cheating on Beyonce???!!!
Now, I don’t believe this rumor for a second, but it IS a rumor, so I’ll share. There’s a blind item circulating about an A-list rapper cheating on his R&B singer wife. The description of the rapper sounds eerily like Jay-Z, while the woman he is allegedly cheating with is unknown, but names like M.I.A. and Ashanti have been thrown into the mix. Take a look at the blind item below: Which Rapper Is Cheating on His Wife with an R&B Singer? This hip-hopper is going to revive the career of the singer he’s been sleeping with on the sly. This celebrity divorce will go very smoothly because the husband knows some scandalous secrets about his soon-to-be-ex-wife’s family. Now that’s better than a pre-nup. 1. “This former almost A list R&B singer who is still gorgeous, but has not had a hit in awhile and has been in this space before has been the go to person for when this married A+ rapper who has also been in this space before has needed to relax for the past few months because his celebrity wife does not want to help him relax. Is it any surprise that everyone thinks her next album will do really well. I guess she is taking very good care of him.” 2. “This celebrity split was definitely shocking, but the divorce will be smooth sailing. The reason: the husband knows a scandalous secret about his wife’s respectable family that she is desperately trying to keep it quiet. She will make sure the divorce is amicable because she would be very upset if people found out her father is not what he appears to be: he’s a deeply closeted gay and a bitter man.” My two-cents….M.I.A. just had a child in 2009 with Benjamin Brewer, a very rich New York musician and son of Warner Music CEO Edgar Bronfman. Why would she jeopardize that big fat check? And Ashanti, well, she may be more plausible than M.I.A., being that she does have a history of being a homewrecker…remember she had a relationship with Irv Gotti while he was still married. Plus, the blogs were reporting that she was flirting with Jay-Z at the recent re-opening of 40/40. But wait, isn’t she still with Nelly?? Either way, neither sound like the real deal to me. Jay seems super happy with Bey, and the arrival of Lil’ Blue Ivy could probably heal the sick, so I’m sure if they did have any problems, they are gone now. Both options sound sketchy…what do you think? Source: Gawker.com
