Ashanti has hinted she wants to marry Nelly.

The 27-year-old singer refused to confirm she is dating the 33-year-old
rapper, but insists she spends a lot of time with him and would love to
settle down soon.

When asked if she was engaged to Nelly, Ashanti held up her left hand to
show a bare ring finger and laughed: "Oh no. Noooo! No engagement. But
definitely in the future. Ha ha!"

She added to People magazine: "Me and Nelly, we're good friends. We kick it
- hang out a lot. The industry is very hard, so it's good to have fun and
lighten it up."

Ashanti also revealed how the couple relax after a hard day's work.

She added: "The one thing we do a lot of lately is listen to my new album,
'The Declaration'."

It was reported earlier this year the couple had got engaged, but the story
was later denied.

This is the controversial viral video R&B singer Ashanti has been forced to scrap after it convinced alarmed fans a serial killer was on the loose. The scary hoax news report featuring chilling crime scene footage, bloody hand and footprints and messages written in blood proved too realistic for some. It was sent out worldwide with an anonymous email urging recipients: "Please contact me immediately. "Your life may be in danger." But some people did not appreciate it was part of an elaborate marketing campaign for Ashanti. It was inspired by her new single 'The Way That I Love You', in which she fantasies about killing a cheating lover.
