It has been rumored that Nelly and Ashanti have been sweethearts but 32-year-old has insisted she and Nelly are just friends.

It was rumored that she and Nelly broke up which led to the producing of  one of his latest songs, ‘Just a Dream’.

“Who said we had a relationship?” she said. She then went on to talk about her upcoming new album. “The name of the album is Braveheart, I’ve been recording for a couple of months now. I’m actually recording in Charleston, South Carolina, which is really cool. There’s a lot of heartfelt records on there. I think everybody can relate ’cause I’ve been writing my records since I came out, and everything has been from like real-life experiences, and I think that’s how people relate.”
