During the ET chat, Ashanti described their vibes as strong-headed and strong-willed. Afterward, she credited Nelly for teaching her important lessons.
“I don’t tell him all the time but I learned a lot about just being grateful and graceful and giving people grace, being open-minded and level-headed and not too emotional. I’m a little bit dramatic as he says,” Ashanti shared.
Nelly jumped in, saying the dramatic antics make her a “great actress.” As the clip continues, Ashanti gushed about how Nelly shows up for her as her BFF, soulmate, and more.
“I have my soulmate, like my person, my best friend, my protector. You know, it’s an amazing feeling. I think the universe doesn’t make mistakes,” Shanti added.
