According to Nelly, society places a lot of pressure on young people to get married.
He says:
“I think if you’re talking about marriage and you’re seriously, seriously, seriously…if those words that you say to each other and you seriously vow to those words, nobody can step up and tell you when to say those words. No pressure from the outside…none of that. You have to be right with yourself. And if that means you’re at this age and you’re at this age, then so be it.
“Now do you step outside and do you have kids and then get married? Now traditional ways of life can work. It’s like what we just talked about. For me, I feel like this country is coming up under so much stress because we’re living under 400 year rules in 2015.”
Check out the interview below:
Am I the only one who can see he’s still into Ashanti? I know he’s with Shantel but it just sounds like he’s kind of talking about his situation with Ashanti.
Sounds like nothing but excuses to me. But ok.
Right. But whatever.
FOS….. He has kids, but can’t commit to an adult?!
Nelly needs to shut the f-ck up. This is the same sh-t these bum a-s n-ggas love to tell women to make them shut the f-ck up about marriage. A real man is not going to wait until he is 65 to get married. He understands it’s absolutely f-ck boy logic to make a good woman wait that long. I’m glad Ashanti finally let his a-s go. Now he can waste Shantel’s time.
I completely agree
I mean it’s really simple. If you can’t see yourself marrying someone, then don’t date them. That way no one’s time is wasted.
He’s getting too old to still have this mentality.
This kind of goes back to what David Banner has been saying. We’re weak as a community because black men and black women have a disconnect. And now we’re trying to talk down marriage and make it seem so unnecessary but we won’t stop having babies out of wedlock. We need to get back to having strong family foundations. Marriage is not bad. It’s actually one of the keys to creating wealth if you marry the right person.
He’s the type that will put off marriage for as long as possible.
I don’t think he’s marriage material anyway so……
Mmmmh just another way of saying I don’t want to give my hoeing ways up. Nelly Bye!!!
Who wants to marry a womanizer
Wait, what? Why keep bringing children in this world just to have baby mamas. He seem to think his selfishness is not affecting his kids. He says get married when you are ready, (I agree); but don’t have children so they can live in a single parent household. Don’t date someone for years and never pop the question. That is so a waste of her time. Women only have a certain window of to have kids before it is a risk or not be able to have children at all, and if they want to be married to the man they have been dating for 3 years or more, have vested all of their time and loyalty with and “He never pops the question” but is willing to pop a baby in her. He is soooo full of Sh*t. I’m just sayin!
Did people forget that marriage is what God arranged for us? Not making baby mamas! I’m not saying that things cant go wrong or that a marriage doesn’t have its problems, but Maybe the country would be a lil better if people had a strong foundation, or family growing up. A lot of people act out because they never saw or felt what true commitment and love is
