The shy on/off couple weren’t alone either, as they joined a star-studded cast that included Grammy winner Jermaine Dupri, eight-time Grammy winner Usher, two-time Grammy winner Johntá Austin and Grammy nominee Daniel Daley added.
Ashanti (of Douglas) wore a $3,745 Dolce & Gabbana x Kim Kardashian calf-length dress in Jersey Milano Rib with Rhinestones with a faux tail at the waist.

Together again? Eleven years after their split, three-time Grammy winner Nelly and Grammy winner Ashanti held hands as they arrived together for a sold-out boxing match at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Ashanti and Nelly (born Cornell Haynes Jr.) were originally supposed to meet in 2003 at a press conference for the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, but they didn’t start dating until 2005.
The Texas-born, St. Louis-raised hip-hop star was featured on the Falling for You singer’s 2007 track Switch and 2010 track NY Lover, while she was featured on his 2008 track Body on Me.
Ashanti reportedly divorced Nelly in 2012 over his alleged “cowardly betrayal”.
“I think when people have their own insecurities, they can sometimes act out of character. I was cheated on,” the Gotta Move On Remix singer said of the split on The Meredith Vieira Show in 2015.
“You just have to grow here too. You need to grow up and take responsibility for the things you do. I’m not a fan of people being cowards. I think it is very important to know yourself and understand what you want and get it. I’m in a different place now.’
Rapper Still Hot In Herre raised four children: daughter Chanel, 29; son Cornell aka Tre, 24; and his late sister Sydney’s daughter and son Lil Shawn, who appeared on his BET reality show Nellyville (2014–2015).
Nelly will perform this Saturday at California’s Stagecoach outdoor music festival, which takes place at the same venue as Coachella, the Empire Polo Club in Indio.
Ashanti is next in the star-studded cast of DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic Live! will be held on May 12 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
The ‘A New Diva’s Christmas Carol’ actress is next set to play homeless Violet in Julia Verdin’s upcoming drama No Address, alongside Beverly D’Angelo, William Baldwin and Xander Berkeley.
Ashanti will also produce and star as bride-to-be Lizzie Anders in Erik White’s upcoming rom-com The Plus One, alongside Cedric the Entertainer and Jonathan Bennett.
