Ashanti Reveals The Meaning Behind Her Newborn Son’s Name

Buy Me A Coffee

Ashanti just dropped a baby bombshell! Yes, you heard that right—our 43-year-old singer, actress, and all-around boss lady has gone and popped out a little bundle of joy. And guess what? It’s a boy! 🎉 Meet Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, or as his entourage now calls him: KK. That’s right, the kid’s already rolling with a nickname. #WinningFromTheWomb

What’s in a Name? Spoiler: A LOT of Pride
Ashanti sat down with ET, probably with baby spit-up on her shoulder, and gave the deets on how baby KK got his million-dollar name. Apparently, his dad picked the name with “a lot of pride.” We can only assume he stood on top of a mountain, arms raised Lion-King-style, while thunder rumbled in the distance. Or, you know, maybe he just Googled “cool baby names” and called it a day.

Let’s break it down: Kareem means generous, kind, and dignified. Talk about setting the bar high. This kid’s destined to be the kindest guy at the playground, sharing his toys like it’s an Olympic sport. The middle name, Kenkaide, is a tribute to Ashanti’s dad. If you thought “Kenkaide” sounded like a boss move, you’d be correct. Ashanti’s dad probably walks into rooms and people just know he means business. Baby KK has some big shoes to fill—tiny baby shoes, but still.

Tears Were Shed, Folks
Ashanti got all emotional (who wouldn’t?) talking about seeing little KK’s face for the first time. Cue the waterworks! “I cried,” she confessed, probably while ugly crying herself into a tissue. But wait, it was spiritual, too. Did baby KK come out floating on a cloud? Were angels singing? Did the hospital lights dim for dramatic effect? We’ll never know for sure, but it sounds like Ashanti experienced a total hallelujah moment.

What’s It Like Being a New Mom?
Well, for starters, Ashanti is now officially on Baby Time. If you thought she was running her life before, nope—KK has taken over the schedule, the house, and probably her snack drawer. “He dictates everything now,” she said. Dictator KK is in charge. But don’t worry, she’s totally cool with it. “This little boy has my entire soul wrapped around his finger,” she admitted, clearly already wrapped tighter than a burrito.

New mom advice? Trust your gut and wear a helmet—well, not the helmet part, but with a tiny dictator on the loose, you never know. Ashanti’s advice is pretty solid, though: keep your energy right because babies are like tiny emotional sponges. “Make sure the baby feels secure and safe,” she said. Basically, become a human-sized security blanket, but also, remember to, you know, shower and stuff. Balance, people!

Nelly: The Baby Whisperer
And in case you were wondering, Nelly is apparently a baby-handling ninja. Ashanti couldn’t stop gushing about how cool, calm, and collected he is with little KK. Seriously, this man probably changes diapers like he’s doing brain surgery—smooth, confident, and somehow making it look easy. It’s basically a baby daddy rom-com over at their house. If there was a trophy for “Best Baby Whisperer,” Nelly would already be polishing it.

Ashanti and Nelly are officially knee-deep in diapers and baby bliss, and little KK is already running the show. What a time to be alive! 🎉
