😱 Ashanti Shocks Fans By Rating Nelly a 6/10 for His 2000s Style! Nelly Responds: “Damn, I Gave You an 8!”

Think long-term love is all sugar and sweetness? Think again! Music’s power couple, Ashanti and Nelly, just blew up social media with their hilarious “Y2K Fashion Rating” moment on their reality show promo tour—and fans can’t get enough!

When “Rating Each Other” Turns Into a Legendary Roast

During a throwback segment to promote their hit reality show We Belong Together on Peacock, Ashanti and Nelly took a fun trip down memory lane, judging each other’s iconic 2000s looks: baggy jeans, grills, baby fat, jerseys, and of course, Nelly’s infamous under-eye band-aid.

Nelly started off smooth:

“I’m giving you an 8 out of 10. You were killing it back then—even without the hips, the baby hair, four jackets, and those crop tops. That was an era!”

The studio burst into laughter, but Ashanti wasn’t about to let Nelly off easy. Staring at a classic 2003 pic of Nelly in his jersey, saggy jeans, and signature band-aid, she grinned:

“I’ll give you a 6 out of 10. You were cute, but you weren’t quite there yet!”

The crowd went wild, and Nelly’s reaction was priceless:

“A six? I gave you an eight with no hips, and you hit me with a six? Damn, that’s cold!”

Fans Lose Their Minds, Internet Goes Wild

Within hours, the segment was everywhere—Twitter, Instagram, TikTok—racking up millions of views. Fans went crazy for the couple’s playful, unfiltered vibe.
One user wrote:

“Married and still roasting each other like this? Ultimate couple goals!”

Another meme quickly went viral:

“She gave this man a six after 25 years and a baby. Legendary!”

Ashanti even tried to redeem Nelly:

“Your smile back then? 10. Your energy? 10. But that band-aid… maybe a three!”

Nelly fired right back:

“Hey, that band-aid made me millions!”

From Roasting to Real Talk

But it wasn’t all jokes. Both stars opened up about how far they’ve come.
Nelly admitted:

“Looking at those old pics, I realize—we were just kids, but we were fly for our time.”

Ashanti added:

“We grew up in front of the cameras, but honestly, I’m proud of us. If you told me in 2003 that we’d end up married with a baby and a reality show, I’d have said you were crazy!”

Nelly laughed:

“If love is real, it finds its way back. Even if you gave me a six, I always knew you were the one!”

Fans Dig Up Iconic Throwback Looks

After the show, throwback pics of Ashanti in her “Foolish” video and Nelly in his classic durag and jerseys flooded social media. One fan joked:

“Nelly’s durags deserve their own award!”

Ashanti later clarified on her IG story:

“Y’all chill, I was just playing. I love my husband, and he knows it! We both looked wild back then, but that’s what made us who we are.”

Nelly reposted with laughing emojis:

“Still not over it though!”
