Nelly Is Ready To Pop The Question To Ashanti But...
Rapper, singer, and actor Nelly is ready to propose to his girlfriend of five years, singer Ashanti. What's holding him back? Reportedly, Ashanti's mother, Tina Douglas.
'Tina sticks her nose in everything because she's also Ashanti's manager,' a source tells Star. 'She's always pushing Ashanti to make more money, to always look great. It stresses her out, and Nelly doesn't like that.'"
Apparently, Ashanti is a little intimidated by her mother.
Tina has such a strong personality that she's kind of afraid of her."
If this is true, then you have to wonder if Ashanti is ready to get married, don't you? Nelly supposedly has the same concerns.
'Before he makes her his wife,' adds the source, 'Nelly wants to know that Ashanti can make decisions on her own.'"
Uh oh. Can any of you relate to in-law drama?

Totally. My mother-in-law is more of a monster-in-law, but my own mother makes my brother's girlfriend life a living hell.

she shouldnt marry if she still lives under her mommy' skirt
they are such an adorable couple, i hope they get marrie. ashanti's mother needs to butt out. ashanti should keep her relationship issues to herself and not tell everything to her mom. that's usually why moms butt in in the first place. it's all about boundaries.

I was married to a man whose mom was the definitive monster-in-law. She'd call at all hours, constantly put me down in front of everyone, down to my race, and just belittle me at every opportunity. I can't believe, to this day, I stayed in that marriage for 10 whole years! DON'T DO IT NELLY! It ain't worth it!!
sporky that is too bad, part of the blame goes to your ball-less ex husband for not standing up to that bitch of a mother and defending you. She did that becasue he allowed it and left you out in the cold. I don't know you, but I bet your marriage would've worked out if it wasn't for your bitch ex- mother-in-law and your ex wimp of a husband.
exactly. a lot of women talk about all the things their mother in law do to them. but, at the end of it all, it is up to the man to step in and lay down the law. she behaved that way because he allowed her too. if a man has any respect for the woman he choose to be with, he wouldn't allow anybody to talk to her in a rude or disrespectful manner. i have a friend with a control freak of a mother and she gives her daughter hell about EVERYTHING.

My sister-in-law (whom I've still never met) tried to stop our wedding 2 days before it took place. She phoned me and called me every name in the book and even went so far as to call my parents and tell my soon-to-be husband that she was gonna stop the ceremony! He ended up having to tell her that she wasn't welcome at our wedding and he's never seen her since. On the plus side, his other sister and his parents came and we all had a lovely day :)

My mother-in-law isn't the nicest person but we all seem to get along for the most part. I can certainly see where my husband gets some of his rudeness from. I know my hubby was NEVER taught to clean out the shower or tub after using it. I had my work cut out for me.

Gee Gee - well, I did end finally up leaving him, which he fought and fought but in the end he could not make me love him anymore, after all the crap he put me through. Then after I left he told me he had a huge fight with his mom and they didn't speak for a while, when he told me that I was like "sorry, too little too late". He is now remarried to a wealthy woman and they have a child and all I can say is, I hope his crazy mother is finally happy.

dyinggiraffe - That's really funny. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Also, he doesn't know after having been with her for FIVE YEARS if she can make a decision on her own?
My boyfriend's mother is a complete and utter bitch. Right before I moved to another state with him, she blew up at us and called me and him every name in the book. I haven't spoken to her since except for a few words when they came to visit a couple of months back. Ugh. I can't stand that shrew. His own brother had to move 1000 miles from where they grew up to escape her. Being around her is being stuck deep in a nuclear waste repository. I am so glad I won't be spending the holidays with them. She runs roughshod over the bf's dad, too, but I can't feel sorry for him because he has allowed her to do so for over 30 years.
IMAGINE THIS.........My in laws are the worst. My sister in law actually started an arguement with me at my wedding reception. My husband did stand up for me and this led to an all out brawl including his sister's boyfriends and husbands physically attacking him and my sister's husband and cousins coming to his rescue. There were about 6-7 men rolling around on the ground throwing punches all started by my sister in law physically jumping my husband and when he pushed her away she started yelling to her husband that he had hit her. One of my sister in laws also grabbed me. I had bruised on my arms from her during our honeymoon. This all happened in front of my 5 year old. Since our wedding was actually on my sister in laws lake front home we were kicked out of our own wedding reception and spent our honeymoon wondering if they 1) mailed in our marriage certificate and we were actually married (luckily my sister grabbed it during the commotion and 2) whether or not there was an arrest warrent for assault waiting on my husband when we got home which they claimed they were going to do.
OMG I can so relate to the stories here. I unfortunately had to live with my in laws for a month and they made my life a living hell! My manipulative mother in law would actually listen at our bedroom door (I caught her red handed!). She also burst into our room when we were arguing and JOINED IN the argument!! I broke down in our car (we only have one) on the side of a busy road in a dangerous neighborhood at night time and they argued with my husband about him borrowing their car to come and pick me up - they have 2 crappy Saturn cars and only one of them drives!! (BTW my husband is 32 years old). Eventually they caved and let my husband come and pick me up - but lo and behold, the father in law drives out to where I am and says NOTHING to me, just walks up to my husband and demands his keys back! (my husband was driving the newer of the 2 Saturns). The next day they forced us to rent a car rather than lend us their unused car!!! (we had offered to lend them our VW in the past mind you).
After we moved out we stopped going over there (this has only been since Dec 1st) WELL monster in law has already called hysterically crying "why do you hate us?!"
C U N ext T uesday S am!!
We too are moving to the other side of the country - cannot wait!!!
Emma - You will be grateful once you all have moved. The main reason I don't speak to my bf's folks anymore is that we moved over 500 miles away. Also I really try to avoid them in any situation (I wrote the comment 2 above yours), and I don't go out of my way to talk to them. When they came to visit, I only talked to them when they talked to me. I wasn't going to let myself get roped into an argument, which always seems to happen between the mother and the son. It's seemed to work out well for me - I don't have the stress of dealing with them! I believe the brother's wife does the same thing, so I know I'm not alone in my distaste of her.
I hate Ashanti. Ever since her I saw her on Punk'd and she was such a demanding b***h to the driver and was just tripping on her own ego..Move on Nelly shes probably almost broke anyway
Please, like either one of them are relevant anymore. And if Nelly doesn't know whether or not Ashanti can make her own decisions (as a grown ass woman, wtf?) after being with her for five damn years, he isn't ready to marry the girl. Hell, that's probably just his front for why he hasn't asked her yet.
Nelly you can marry Ashanti shes cute
