Nelly Speaks On Marriage

Superstar rapper Nelly, although very successful, and at the prime marriageable age of 38, is still single. He dated songstress, Ashanti for 7 years, but still no wedding bells for him just yet. Well, hear the reason for this straight from the horses mouth. In a recent interview with VLADTV, he said...






The thing about marriage is nobody is going to force me into anything. Nobody is going to rush me into anything. I take marriage very seriously. I only know two ways of marriage. My parents’ marriage did not last at all and my grandparent’s’ marriage lasted for 60 years. So I’m either gonna go all the way to 60 or I’m not gonna do it. You see what I’m saying? You’re gonna know when its right. I feel like marriage is something that you just know is right and it’s just no questions. No questions. In order for me to feel like this is going to be it, I  have to have no questions. If I got any questions, I know me. I’m going to play on that and eventually that may weigh in on that situation. But do I see myself getting married? Hell yeah. I just think that marriage is something that you should do when you’re ready to do it and you feel like, yo, this is everything
.



He also spoke on the disadvantages of dating co-celebrities-

The thing is, it’s hard when you’re in this business. Let’s say you’ve known someone for seven years. But you’ve known them for seven years in this business. Now, let’s take a couple that’s an everyday average couple and they’ve know each other for seven years. The regular couple’s seven years  is a little different because they’ve actually been together almost every day for seven years. [The other] couple may have known each other for seven years, but they probably only been together five days out of a month. So although the time has went, it really hasn’t been seven years of knowing them. It’s probably on equaled out to three and a half years, as far as 365 days in being with that person. You look at a regular couple, seven years yeah that’s a long time [because] they’ve actually been together seven years.You don’t learn as much about a person as you would like to until you actually get a chance to stop and be with that person. I think people see the relationships that industry folks have and they see the time, but they’re not doing the math on that time. If you do the math on that time you will see that it equals out to something totally different than if [the couple were together every day.


Hmm! He was definitely talking about his relationship with Ashanti right there.
