Oh, baby! The pettiness is strong!

After a week of viral previews from Irv Gotti’s toxic trip down memory lane about Ashanti, the R&B star is really giving us something to talk about. On the latest episode of Drink Champs, the Murder Inc. co-founder recounted the pain of his ex Ashanti moving on rapper Nelly. Instead of responding, TMZ reports Ashanti stepped out with Nelly again onstage at the My 2000s Playlist concert in Oakland.
Nelly bringing out Ashanti during the 'My 2000s Playlist' concert in Oakland was not lost on Twitter, who think someone should check on Irv Gotti after that 'Drink Champs' confession. https://t.co/9pyNyXxn1U

The former couple was already scheduled on the same line-up, but no one expected a reunion. The surprise duet was a perfectly petty opportunity to rub salt in Irv’s (obviously unhealed) wound. Hours after Ashanti’s solo set, she rekindled her chemistry with Nelly to perform their 2008 hit, “Body On Me.” The “Country Grammar” rapper collaborated and dated Ashanti on and off for nearly 10 years.

Ageless Ashanti was as stunning as ever Friday night in a skintight leotard showing off those thique thighs. If the best revenge is living and looking good, Ashanti doesn’t need to say another word. Nelly twisted the knife a bit more with a joke referencing Irv’s viral Drink Champs confession. “I got floor seats to the next game,” he joked onstage.

Irv’s Drink Champs Confessions
While Ja Rule remained neutral, Irv recounted the hearbreaking moment he spotted Nelly and Ashanti as a couple.
“I can get past you wanting to be with Nelly,” a seemingly drunken Irv says in the clip, adding, “listen, at the time it happens, any man is hurt… the chick you f*cking in love with is with this n*gga… you wanna hear how I found out? I was at home … listen to this sh*t. This is God wanting me to find out. I was at home. NBA package, I like watching sports. ‘Oh my God, what’s this commotion going on in the stadium?’ ‘We just found out what the commotion is. Nelly just walked in with Ashanti.’”
Irv Gotti is trying to acknowledge everything about Ashanti except the fact that she was 19 and he was 30. Let’s have that conversation. #drinkchamps #muderincdoc #BET

Now that the episode is out, everybody is talking about Irv’s commentary on Ashanti. The singer hasn’t shared much about their relationship, but Irv went all-in. The media mogul admitted that he was in love with Ashanti even though he was married at the time. He also claimed that their affair inspired their smash hits like “Happy.” Does anybody take a break-up with their girlfriend harder than a married man?

The cringe-wrthy confessions concerned Ja Rule and even host N.O.R.E. Both asked why he seemed stuck on Ashanti after all this time.. Irv claimed he was more hurt about the songwriter leaving the label than ending their relationship, but Twitter isn’t buying it. Reading the inscription a watch Ashanti gifted him, mentioning their sex life, bragging about the hotter women he’s with now, and gloating about selling her masters doesn’t sound like Irv’s not hurt.
I don’t know who’s more obsessed at this point. Irv Gotti with Ashanti or Channing Crowder with Russell Wilson.

Ashanti is back like she never left, but fans won’t see her in the upcoming Murder Inc. documentary. Irv, who transitioned from producing music to producing movies and television, invited her to appear in The Murder Inc Story. The “Foolish” singer is still on good terms with labelmates like Ja Rule, but immediately refused to reminisce on her past for the project.

Nelly to Ashanti 🗣
“Yo, I got floor seats to the next game. What’s happened?” I live for their pettiness
I know Irv is foaming at the mouth 💀💀💀 pic.twitter.com/GqvOgvR6xW

Irv Gotti knows how extremely misogynistic society is so talking about Ashanti’s sex life is a surefire way of getting people on his side.

If Ashanti would've gained weight and fell off or had surgery and was looking crazy we would never hear him talk about it… But yeah he's being big lame right now
— Furious Styles (@FuriousStylesIV) August 7, 2022
He wants everyone to know he was fuckin Ashanti chile…100 yrs later
— Lenny Jones, Talk Show Host (@elcavaqueen) August 6, 2022
Irv Gotti beat the Feds in a million-dollar money-laundering trial but instead of telling that story, he chooses to talk about that time he slept with Ashanti 20 years ago.

This married ass nigga was mad that Ashanti didn’t want to be ride or die when he was up on charges!
This nigga wanna be a mobster so bad!!!!
— Bassey Ikpi (@Basseyworld) August 6, 2022
He said, “I got bitches way badder than Ashanti!”
In Canada, right?
Why am I so mad?? It’s the way he was talking about her. Just grimey. It’s been twenty years!
— Bassey Ikpi (@Basseyworld) August 6, 2022
And to my knowledge, she’s never uttered a peep about him! Just mean and messy. She didn’t air him out when he had that reality show with his wife and kids pretending to be a family man. Now here he go decades after the fact and still mad

Irv Gotti watches old Ashanti videos in the dark while crying.

Ashanti just being beautiful and minding her business and here come Irv Gotti bringing up old shit pic.twitter.com/m0Galmof8R

Irv Gotti really sounded like he felt betrayed by Ashanti. A married nigga feeling salty that his single “girlfriend” was stepping out with a single man. He was watching the game with his wife distraught seeing her & Nelly.
— Reid (@RVAReid) August 2, 2022
JaRule had to put out a quick disclaimer soon as Irv mentioned Ashanti bought him the watch he had on.
He knew Irv was gonna be on some shit.
— Miri (@__Miri__) August 7, 2022
Irv Gotti is super lame. If I had Ashanti writing songs about me after we spent the night together, I’d carry that secret to my grave. Just the knowledge of it happening is satisfaction enough. No need to air out dirty laundry.
— Baker Mayfield Is My Homeboy (@NotoriousVIC007) August 7, 2022
The fact that Irv is still SO upset about Ashanti, talking SO greasy …
and Ja (fucking) Rule is the one to take up for her is just … wow Irv a 🤡 pic.twitter.com/QqqRK7bmWK— Cristalle.👩🏾🔬 (@PsalmOne) August 6, 2022
Do you think Irv Gotti is really over Ashanti?
