Nelly Comes Clean About Relationship With Ashanti

So we're no longer running with the "we're just best friends" storyline anymore huh Nelly? It's about time. I know that you didn't think we were all dumb enough to believe that one anyway.

After several years of ho-hum answers on his relationship with singer Ashanti, Nelly is finally letting his guard down about how he feels about her. The St. Louis rapper recently told People magazine that the reason why he and Ashanti have been able to maintain their relationship is because they just love to have a good time. They don't worry about what everyone has to say about them. They enjoy each others company.

"That's the thing between me and her, we just like having fun," he said Sunday at Las Vegas's Lavo club, where he was celebrating his 34th birthday.

Although Ashani was in Japan and couldn't attend the party, Nelly admitted that the two have been "hanging out for a minute." Which is a bit of an understatement, but we'll take it. When asked was the relationship serious, Nelly said, "I think it's always serious,” he said, “when you can hang with a person continuously ... and still have fun."

Earlier this summer, Ashanti would only call Nelly a "good friend." But, she coyly told PEOPLE, an engagement could "definitely be in the future."
