Fans Cry Foul Play As Nelly Dodges Diaper Duty

In another scene, Nelly can be seen talking to some friends and saying that he and Ashanti discussed how she was going to do more of the work while KK is little.

“Until he can say, ‘I’m hungry,’ until he can say, ‘I need to use the bathroom,’ it’s gonna be a lot in your lap,” Nelly recalls telling her. “But as soon as he start walking, I told her I said, ‘Enjoy.’ Cause as soon as he get to walking and talking, he with the crew.”

Cutting back to the restaurant, Ashanti asks Nelly about never waking up when their son cries during the night.

“Do y’all really be up at night? I heard about it,” Nelly asks.

“You know what? It’s absolutely ridiculous that you’ll still be dead sleep and he’ll be mad loud,” Ashanti responds.

“I’m blessed with that tune-out,” Nelly says.

“No. That means get up. It’s your turn to change him,” Ashanti responds.

“I’ma take you back to this conversation we had before you kicked me under the table,” Nelly says. “I said, ‘Baby, I’ll give you the world. I just ain’t changing no diaper.’ ”

Ashanti rolled her eyes and said, “Oh my god.”

It’s no surprise that the internet had a lot to say about these conversations, criticizing Nelly for his unwillingness to help with the basic responsibilities of his own child. A lot of fans on X have referred to Ashanti as a “married single mother,” pointing out that she shouldn’t take on so much of the burden when she has a perfectly capable husband.

“It’s a shame Ashanti is married single mother. So embarrassing,” one viewer tweeted. “He spun the block only to not give af fr. The first year is when the mom needs help the most. Nelly not gonna change a diaper? Idk how she doesn’t get the ick.”
