Ashanti and Nelly celebrated their upcoming arrival with a baby shower, surrounded by loved ones, over the weekend.
The event was held at Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York, and was documented by MEFeater and Instagram user @mesan_alaijah, who appears to be related to Ashanti.
Additional clips shared by @selenevoider showed guests arriving at the estate, which was decorated with posters from Ashanti’s recent maternity shoot.
In a heartwarming video, Ashanti joined her family and friends while Nelly’s hit single “Ride Wit Me” played in the background. The caption read, “Everybody welcome Baby Haynes…”
Later, Ashanti cut a jungle-themed, three-tier cake labeled “Baby Haynes.” The final clip revealed that @selenevoider is Ashanti’s cousin.
Last month, Nelly hosted a private surprise baby shower for Ashanti at the Dolce & Gabbana children’s boutique in New York City. Guests included longtime friends Fat Joe and Breland.
The couple announced their first pregnancy and engagement in April. They later got married and secured their marriage license in St. Louis County, Nelly’s hometown.
