Nelly had an island themed birthday celebration created for Ashanti since she usually celebrates being on an island. Their newborn son is almost 3 months old so this was a nice gesture. She turned 44 years old & she’s stunning.🥳🎂🎁 pic.twitter.com/WvvTMEsKFV

More Details On Ashanti’s Labor Experience
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ashanti and Nelly welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, on July 18.
In August, the singer got candid about her labor experience while speaking exclusively with Entertainment Tonight, per The Shade Room.
“It was such an amazing, incredible feeling and experience,” Ashanti said. “…He came a little early, and dad had to fly in last minute — which was awesome… seeing his face for the first time — I cried. It was just so emotional and spiritual at the same time, you know, kind of having a vision of this moment for a long time.”
While speaking with the outlet, Ashanti also detailed how motherhood has changed her.
