Taking to Instagram live stream, Fat Joe quipped that he needs "10 percent of this kid" after allegedly reconnecting the pair years after their split.
"if it wasn’t for Verzuz, that I brought Nelly out [during] me against Ja Rule, that’s when they saw each other and energy connected again."
Fat Joe did a Verzuz battle in 2021 with Ja Rule, and brought Nelly out, where reportedly he rekindled his romance with ex Ashanti.
The rapper then recalled Nelly speaking to Ashanti at the event on the livestream: "He goes over there, and that starts the conversation. You know somebody gotta crack the ice — I don’t know why they fell out."
