ASHANTI GETS SO EMOTIONAL SAYING GOODBYE TO HER SON KAREEM HAYES BEFORE GOING TO A CONCERT IN MIAMI

For Ashanti, being a mother is a journey filled with both boundless joy and heart-tugging challenges. As she prepared to leave for her highly anticipated concert in Miami, she took a moment to share a deeply personal side of her life with fans—a bittersweet goodbye to her beloved son, Kareem Hayes.

In a heartfelt message, Ashanti opened up about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with balancing motherhood and her career. “It’s a bittersweet moment for me as I prepare to head to Miami for my concert,” she confessed. “But before I go, I want to take a moment to say goodbye to my little prince, baby Kareem.”

Ashanti described how being a mom has been the most incredible experience of her life, but also one of the hardest—especially when it comes to leaving her son, even for just a few days. “Kareem is my heart, my everything. And every time I leave, it’s a mix of excitement and sadness,” she shared.

She took fans into Kareem’s room, a space overflowing with love and memories. “Every little toy, every picture tells a story of our journey together. I want Kareem to know that even when I’m away, he’s always in my heart.” Ashanti even packed his favorite teddy bear, Mr. Snuggles, to keep a piece of him close while she was on the road. “I want him to feel my love even from miles away.”

As she packed her bags, Ashanti admitted, “Every time I pack, I feel a little tug at my heart. I mean, look at this little face—how can I leave him? But I know that when I come back, I’ll have so many stories to share.”

Before heading out, Ashanti knelt down to say a special goodbye. “Kareem, Mommy loves you so much. You are my sunshine. I’m going to sing for you tonight, okay? Every note will be for you. I promise I’ll be back before you know it. Just remember that every time I’m on stage, I’m thinking of you.”

Ashanti reflected on how these moments remind her why she works so hard. “It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. I want to create a beautiful life for him and show him that dreams can come true. But I also want him to know that family comes first.”

With a final hug and a kiss, she whispered, “Hey baby Kareem, Mommy is about to go on stage and I just wanted to say I love you. You are my everything and I can’t wait to see you when I get back. Always remember you’re my little star.”

Stepping into the Miami venue, Ashanti felt the rush of adrenaline and excitement from the crowd, but her thoughts remained with her son. “Tonight is for you, Kareem. Every song, every moment is dedicated to my son. I want him to feel my love even from afar.”

After the concert, Ashanti rushed home, eager to hold her son in her arms again. “The concert was amazing, but I can’t wait to get back home and hug my baby. It’s all worth it for moments like this. There’s nothing like this feeling. No matter where I go, nothing compares to being with my son.”

Ashanti thanked her fans for supporting her through every step of her journey. “Thank you all for joining me on this journey. Remember, life is about balancing our dreams and our loved ones. Cherish every moment and hold your loved ones close.”

For Ashanti, the stage may be her second home, but her heart will always belong to Kareem.
