*Another wedding rumor has been put to rest. Representatives at Universal Records have come forward to deny recent reports that their artist Nelly and his girlfriend, R&B singer Ashanti, had gotten engaged during the holidays.
Ashanti’s people at Huff Entertainment have also announced that the reports are false.
"Contrary to current rumor and gossip on websites and other media, Ashanti is not engaged," the Huff Entertainment rep stated to Vibe.com.
Reports of wedding bells began circulating last week amidst rumors that Nelly had popped the question sometime over the Christmas holiday.
The St. Louis rapper, instead, has been working on a new studio album due later this year. He’s also working with Avery Storm, a white R&B singer from New Jersey who has already appeared on tracks from Nelly, Paul Wall, P. Diddy and Murphy Lee.
