You might want to sit down for this one, because Ashanti just dropped the sweetest news about her baby boy, KK Haynes, and fans everywhere are losing it! The R&B queen recently shared that her little superstar is talking more than ever, and his new favorite word is not “mama,” not “dada”—but something totally unexpected and absolutely adorable. Ready for it? It’s “pizza!”

KK Goes Viral With His Love for “Pizza”

During a recent Instagram Live, Ashanti couldn’t stop smiling as she talked about KK’s latest milestone. “He’s talking so much now,” she beamed. “But you won’t believe what his favorite word is. I hear it all day long!” Then, she giggled and whispered, “Pizza.”

Yes, you heard that right. Baby KK’s favorite word is “pizza.” Ashanti laughed, “We’ll ask, ‘What do you want for dinner, KK?’ and he just yells ‘pizza!’ like it’s the only food in the world!” Nelly even jumped into the comments, joking, “That boy’s got good taste already. He gets that from me!” Fans went wild, with one saying, “He’s already a true New Yorker at heart!”

The Pizza Obsession Begins

Insiders close to the family revealed that KK’s vocabulary is growing fast—he’s confidently saying about ten words now, including “ball,” “car,” “papa,” and, of course, “pizza.” One family friend shared, “He’ll crawl up to you with a toy slice and say ‘pizza’ like it’s the real thing. It’s the cutest thing ever.”

Ashanti explained that KK’s pizza obsession started after a cozy family night at home when Nelly’s mom made homemade pizza. KK couldn’t get enough—dancing, grabbing crusts from everyone’s plate. “He just kept pointing at the box saying ‘pizza’ and hasn’t stopped since,” Ashanti recalled. Even Ashanti’s sister, Kenashia Douglas, joined in on the fun, posting on her IG stories, “I don’t know who taught my nephew that pizza is life, but it’s clearly his whole mood now. Auntie’s gonna get him a pizza blanket next!”

Family, Fun, and Viral Fame

Fans can’t get enough of the Haynes family’s close bond and inside jokes. One hilarious moment happened during a FaceTime call with Nelly while he was on tour. Ashanti said, “KK was trying to talk to his daddy, and all he kept saying was, ‘Pizza, pizza.’ Nelly was like, ‘Man, am I talking to my son or a slice?’”

It’s clear this little boy has both his parents—and the internet—wrapped around his tiny finger. KK’s favorite word might be funny, but it also shows just how much love and fun Ashanti and Nelly are pouring into their family. From music to meals, every moment is a memory in the making, and fans love being along for the ride.

A Pizza Party Fit for a King

After Ashanti’s reveal, social media exploded. TikToks and Reels of fans mimicking KK’s “pizza” chant went viral. One fan even made a remix track using baby giggles and the word “pizza” over a catchy beat! Ashanti reposted several fan videos of babies saying “pizza” to their parents, captioning, “KK’s got the babies hooked now—he’s starting a whole movement!”

To celebrate, Ashanti announced she’s planning a mini pizza party just for KK and his cousins, complete with baby-friendly toppings, mini pies, and a “pizza king” crown. “He earned it,” she said. “If you say ‘pizza’ 100 times a day, you get a whole party!”
