00:00Previously on Nelly and Ashanti, We Belong Together.
00:12I didn't think that we would get back together.
00:15We were long distance.
00:16I was still, like, permanently in New York.
00:17He was permanently in St. Louis.
00:19So when there was a disconnect, it wasn't like,
00:21okay, come home, let's talk about it.
00:22We were together off and on for 11 years before the final.
00:28I hated her.
00:29I hated him.
00:32And then the infamous hug.
00:36I was just breaking ice.
00:37But, you know, she run all on my back.
00:40Oh, my God.
00:41And here we are, me and Ashanti, back together and have a child.
00:46He's gay, gay.
00:48Oh, New Yorkers.
00:51But with our lives moving so fast,
00:53$76,000 for a mattress?
00:57It's not perfect.
00:58What about where KK's going to go to school?
01:01If it was in New York, it would be amazing.
01:03I'm not living in New York.
01:05I've been invited to perform for the Motown Christmas special in L.A.
01:09But I definitely don't want to leave KK.
01:12I thought it was just going to be two songs.
01:14But there are three songs.
01:15That's not happening.
01:17I'm just letting it be very clear.
01:19I'm still undecided if I'm really going or not.
01:22I don't know what's going to happen,
01:24but I know there was a contract that was signed
01:26so we could be sued.
01:28Excel, when you push.
01:47Good.
01:47It's been four months since KK was born.
01:59And where I'm at now as far as my baby weight and all that stuff,
02:04I feel pressure on myself
02:06because I just want to be healthy and in shape.
02:09And, you know, they call me Little Miss Vacation.
02:13It's not for no reason.
02:14I've got to be in that bikini and be right.
02:23Four, you're getting lazy.
02:25What?
02:25You're getting lazy.
02:27Come on, come on.
02:29You could only call me lazy when you have a baby.
02:32Then holler at me with lazy.
02:36Two, one more.
02:38Eight, nine.
02:42Woken up.
02:43Nine, ten, five, four, three, two, one.
02:54Good.
02:55My arms is on fire.
02:56What's happening?
02:58You look like that was good.
03:00You want to try?
03:01Did I miss it?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Good.
03:04He got my last one.
03:06He got my last one.
03:08Wait a minute.
03:08Three more sets for you.
03:10He got it.
03:10No.
03:11What is this?
03:12This shit is heavy.
03:13Exactly.
03:16Did you do this?
03:16Yeah.
03:17It's nothing.
03:18What you talking about?
03:19Eight, eight, nine, ten.
03:21I heard him.
03:21What you want?
03:21Ten.
03:22You see that?
03:22Ten.
03:23You see that?
03:23Nine, eight, seven, six, five, two, three.
03:28Five, five, five, five, five.
03:32Wait a minute.
03:33Is that that Long Island man?
03:35No, that was tough though.
03:37And you did how many sets?
03:38Four sets.
03:38You look good, babe.
03:40Oh, thank you.
03:41We getting there.
03:42The snap is back.
03:45Oh my God, I'm tired.
03:46You're going to snap back.
03:47We're going to snap back.
03:48You guys.
03:49You feel good?
03:51Oh, yeah.
03:52No, I do.
03:53Yeah?
03:54Yeah.
03:54Because you know I have diastasis.
03:57Wow.
03:57So diastasis, that's why I have to wear this thing is after you have a C-section, my organs
04:03are still way spread apart.
04:05KK decided to come early and he was transverse, which means he was laying across my stomach.
04:13So I had no choice but to have a C-section so that trainer is supposed to like hold everything
04:18down and back together.
04:20So I got to like build up to back to where I'm supposed to be.
04:24So that's why, you know, I'm taking one day.
04:25Well, I think you look awesome.
04:26Well, thank you.
04:27I think you look great.
04:28I think you and whatever KK has done, I think we already snapped.
04:36Oh my God.
04:37I like all of it.
04:38Right here.
04:39Matter of fact, I got to go pump.
04:40It's very inspirational, I just say.
04:43I don't think nobody's expecting a magic wand around there.
04:47I understand that who we are sometimes could be added pressure to her and the sense of her
04:52getting back in the gym and then the baby way and all of that.
04:55But you're the baddest thing on the planet to me regardless, especially with them thighs
05:00and things like the baby ain't did nothing but came through for daddy.
05:05Try not to lose too much.
05:08Try not to lose too much.
05:10Keep a little bit of that thing thing in.
05:12Yeah, keep some of that thing thing in.
05:13Okay.
05:14I think it's working out.
05:15Let me know.
05:20We can work out later.
05:21You can work out later?
05:22We can work out later.
05:23Burn some calories later?
05:24Burn a bunch of them son of a guns.
05:25Well, let's go then.
05:26All right?
05:27Let's go.
05:28I'm with it.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Let's go then.
05:29My timing is perfect.
05:30Well, let's go then.
05:41Oh, Lord have mercy.
05:42What's happening?
05:43I'm feeling like super hesitant and like nervous about flying.
05:50So I've been invited to perform for the Motown Christmas special in L.A.
05:55But I was only going to go if I could bring my son and if I was bringing my son, I was going
06:00to fly private just because the germs and just, you know, just having more control.
06:06And then I started feeling a little bit uneasy about flying private.
06:10I definitely go with my gut and I was just like, I feel uncomfortable and I don't know why or where these feelings came from.
06:19I have all these knots in my stomach and I don't know.
06:25I don't think you should make it something that you're giving yourself also over.
06:31But I think the opportunity is dope.
06:34It's something that you wanted to do.
06:35That's what you told me in the beginning.
06:37I know that I don't feel comfortable.
06:39I know that I don't want to leave him.
06:41So now I'm caught in, you know what I'm saying?
06:44Okay, you done got this plane.
06:46You didn't signed off on the paperwork to do this show.
06:50I got, like, I feel like my back, I got to do something.
06:53I got to make a move.
06:55Being a new mom, I definitely have, like, X'd out a bunch of shows, a bunch of offers.
07:02Just not wanting to leave him.
07:06My career has kind of taken a little bit of a back seat.
07:10Nothing is worth, God forbid, we get on a plane and die.
07:14I don't want that to happen.
07:15I'm well known.
07:15You know what I'm saying?
07:16Nobody wants that to happen.
07:17And I definitely don't think that that's going to happen.
07:20But even though you signed the paperwork, whatever comes from it, if you don't want to go, we'll deal with that shit.
07:25Period.
07:25You know what I'm saying?
07:27Right.
07:27And I really genuinely want to go.
07:30I just, I'm not taking a plane.
07:32So that's how.
07:33Now I really have to be.
07:34If you're not going to take the jet, then I would say don't take them because you don't need to fly with KK.
07:39I encourage what's in Sean's heart.
07:42She's waited a little bit in life to have her family.
07:45So it's my job, I feel, is to find out where her heart is right now and build that.
07:54Just go.
07:55Come on back.
07:56You'll be all right.
07:57Take it.
07:58Make sure you got enough boob juice.
07:59I'm trying to add a little humor to it.
08:04No, I know.
08:05To get that nervousness out of it.
08:08Come with me to the show, so I don't got to go by myself.
08:10What about the thing I got to do?
08:13I'm like, you going to tell other people?
08:15I mean, if you want.
08:17I don't think that money going to offset.
08:18Yo, I ain't going to be rocking with Shorty because I have the pleasure of rocking out at the One Music Fest down in Atlanta.
08:25Looking forward to it, of course.
08:27It's a huge music festival.
08:29Listen, like I said again, don't sweat it.
08:31Make your decision.
08:32I'm with you either way.
08:33If you in, we in.
08:35If you out, I understand that.
08:38Before having the baby, I felt like I can have it all.
08:41But I'm just insanely infatuated with my son.
08:45So it is a little challenging to get back to business and I don't want to say pursue my career, but get back to what I've been building for so long.
08:56Oh, God.
08:58You good?
08:59I hate feeling like this.
09:01I don't know.
09:03But, okay, I just have to make a decision.
09:05I don't want you to make yourself sick over it.
09:15What's in charge of doing hospitality?
09:24Because some of the things Reshanti is looking for might be missing.
09:28Oh, yeah, so we're still loading.
09:30I'm sorry.
09:31Oh, okay.
09:32Because I was like, girl, this ain't it.
09:34Oh, no, no, no.
09:35I'm here in L.A. early to make sure everything is as perfect as I can make it for Reshanti when she arrives.
09:42What specifically are you worried about missing?
09:43We can get that in ASAP.
09:45What I'm going to do is I'm going to videotape it, send it to her.
09:48She should be sure I'll leave it at that, but she can tell me.
09:50Okay.
09:50She was uneasy.
09:52She didn't want to get on the jet.
09:54It was paid for and everything.
09:56And she just felt uneasy.
09:58But she agreed to take a commercial flight to fly out after me.
10:03KK stayed with the nanny.
10:06So I said, okay, thank you.
10:07And our fresh fruit is coming.
10:08We got it from Whole Foods.
10:10You wanted to get it day off.
10:11Yes, yes.
10:11So it's literally coming up the hill.
10:13Freshest food we can get.
10:14And it's organic.
10:16All organic.
10:16Stickers on.
10:17We got the wash right there.
10:19Number nine stickers.
10:20You know, it has a nine in front of it on the sticker.
10:25That's what you know for a fact.
10:26It's organic.
10:27I didn't know that.
10:29Yeah, look on the sticker.
10:30Oh, I wish I had known that.
10:31I should have told my girl to look for the nines.
10:33Yeah, the nines.
10:34I didn't know that.
10:35I'm so proud of her because this will be her first time performing since KK.
10:39She ain't know about the sticker.
10:43I was afraid.
10:45She wanted to cancel.
10:46It was just too much for her.
10:48Like, I'm worried about KK.
10:50I'm worried about flying.
10:50I'm worried about the jet.
10:51I'm worried about if I'll be able to get a flight.
10:53But I think once she decided how she was going to make it happen, she made it happen.
11:00And take her back.
11:15And look at him.
11:16He has a stop center.
11:17Where is the teleprompter?
11:38put it on right now with me having a lot going on and like having mommy brain on top of that
11:47i'm like i can't memorize new records that are not mine right now

12:38when ashanti was rehearsing the stage manager came over to me and said she's expected to do the finale
12:45and i was like well if she's doing the finale are they moving parts around of the way that
