Lovers Ashanti and Nelly

Ashanti has been famously secretive about her relationship with rapper Nelly. But she broke her silence (a bit!) Sunday night, after a sterling rendition of the National Anthem during game five of the Lakers-Celtics championship series.

“Me and Nelly, we’re good friends. We kick it – hang out a lot,” the 27-year-old told People Magazine. “The industry is very hard, so it’s good to have fun and lighten it up.”

As for those persistent rumors that she and the rapper plan to get hitched? Holding up a ring-free left hand, she told reporters, “Oh no. Noooo! No engagement.” Then she added with a wicked smile, “But definitely in the future. Ha! Ha!”
